Read in the ideal light

ComfortLight is a breakthrough front-light that's perfect for reading in any lighting condition.

Designed for readers

When it came to crafting the perfect device for avid readers like yourself, Kobo designers took their inspiration from the same place as you: books. Kobo Aura HD was designed to fit perfectly in your hand, just as a hardcover does, for a truly immersive reading experience. And with a 1 GHz processor, page turns are seamless – just like flipping paper pages. It's the complete print experience, enhanced by the technological advances only possible in a Kobo eReader.

"Bookstore without Borders offers a wonderful opportunity for authors and other publishing professionals to market and sell their stories. I was impressed with this place from the moment of my first interaction, and continue to be awed by the professional and helpful personalities on staff. My initial e-mail was answered within minutes and every communication since has been awesome and more than timely. Within a day of first signing up, I had my first book sale. A first, and the cement to create a bond with Bookstore without Borders that will not be easily broken!"

Author Brenda B Taylor
"Books with out Borders allows authors and readers to connect in a special way - over the internet that birthed eBooks in the first place. Sure there are other sites, and personally I have listed on them because in today's market you have to cast your bread upon the cyberspace waters. However, Book without Borders, though small, has a great potential to grow and both Sara and Lynda offer great, personal service. You are not just an email in a sea of thousands. Here is a place where readers can meet authors and vice-versa in a cozy atmosphere, almost reminiscence of a hallowed library. You can almost smell the nostalgic aroma of paper and publishing ink mingled with Old English polish and binding glue. Except no one will shush you! It also never closes. So, feel free to browse the shelves as long as you wish. "
Julie B Cosgrove, author
