The Kobo Aura HD (also called the Aura HD) is a limited-edition Kobo eReader device designed and marketed by Kobo Inc. It was revealed 15 April 2013 and allowed for preorders the next day at a price of $169.99 USD/CAD. It arrived in stores in Canada and the United Kingdom on 25 April 2013. The marketing slogan of the Kobo Aura HD was "The eReader, reimagined." A year after the launch of the Aura HD the Kobo Aura H2O was launched, it has a similar screen resolution to the Kobo Aura HD but has a waterproof coating as well Kobo's CEO announced in March 2015 that the Kobo Aura HD is officially discontinued. == Hardware == The hallmark feature of this device was the display - at 6.8 inches (diagonal) it was larger than other popular e-Book readers such as the Kobo Glo, Kindle Paperwhite, and Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight with screens of 6 inches. The screen offered by the Aura HD offered 30% more screen real estate than the 6 inch screens of competitors. It was also of a much higher resolution, with a WXGA+ 1440 × 1080 screen offering 265 ppi; with Pearl E ink technology, the screen allowed for a much improved text rendering.〔 This screen was marketed as the "ClarityScreen+" by Kobo. The Aura HD shipped in three colours: espresso, ivory, and onyx. It was made of a new material; whereas previous Kobo eReaders used a soft touch matte plastic, the Aura HD's body was made of a harder, shinier, plastic. This was accompanied with an angular back design, resembling crumpled pages of a physical book, used for added grip. The CPU is 1 GHz Freescale i.MX507. Built-in memory totaled 4GB, allowing 3 000 books to be stored on the device. This was expandable via microSD card slot; adding up to 32GB of storage was possible. The ComfortLight introduced in the Kobo Glo was also present in the Kobo Aura, allowing a user to read in the dark. Battery life was estimated to be up to 2 months, assuming 30 minutes of reading a day and Wi-Fi turned off.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kobo Aura HD」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
