Fully working. Includes 8 GB microSD card. Micro USB charging socket ( a convertor cable to standard USB 2 available if required)

Built-in ComfortLight for Day and Night Reading
The Kobo Glo’s standout feature is its integrated ComfortLight, allowing users to read comfortably in any lighting condition, including complete darkness. The light is evenly distributed across the screen and its brightness is easily adjustable via a dedicated button and on-screen controls, making lamps unnecessary for nighttime reading.
High-Resolution, Glare-Free Touchscreen
It features a 6-inch XGA Pearl E Ink touchscreen with a resolution of 1024x768 pixels and 16 levels of grayscale. This provides sharp, crisp text and images, delivering a print-on-paper feel that is glare-free and fingerprint-resistant, which is especially beneficial for long reading sessions.
Customizable Reading Experience
Readers can personalize their experience with 8 font styles, 24 font sizes, and exclusive weight and sharpness settings. The device also supports library personalization, predictive search, and brightness controls.
Speed and Performance
Powered by a 1 GHz processor, the Kobo Glo offers faster page turns and smoother navigation compared to earlier models, making it responsive even when handling large files or complex PDFs.
Expandable Storage
The device comes with 2 GB of internal storage (about 1 GB available for user content), enough for approximately 1,000 eBooks. Storage can be expanded up to 32 GB via a Micro SD card, accommodating up to 30,000 eBooks.
Wide File Format Support and Openness
The Kobo Glo supports a broad range of file types, including EPUB (with or without Adobe DRM), PDF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, TXT, (X)HTML, RTF, CBZ, and CBR. This openness allows users to load eBooks from various sources, not just the Kobo Store, making it compatible with library eBooks and indie publishers.
Long Battery Life
With Wi-Fi turned off, the Kobo Glo can last over a month on a single charge, even with regular use of the ComfortLight. Continuous use with the light on provides up to 55-70 hours of reading.
Social and Cloud Features
