Looking slick is nice, but Kobo keeps bringing the features readers have been asking for. What I have always appreciated about Kobo has been its constant pushing of the envelope to cater to reading geeks like myself.

And its latest-the Kobo Forma-makes a strong case for being the best e-reader you can buy. While Amazon’s Kindle line dominates in terms of market share, Kobo has always impressed me with devices that are clearly aimed at reading geeks. And while Barnes & Noble still has the Nook GlowLight 3, when it comes to hardware aimed at true digital reading geeks, it really comes down to Amazon and Kobo at this point. Anyone who spends a lot of time reading digital books knows tablets and smartphones simply can’t compare to a good e-reader. After years of consolidation (I still miss Sony), there are currently two main contenders when it comes to e-readers: Amazon and Kobo.
