AMZN Kindle Voyage vs. Kobo Aura HD
Some have Declared the e-reader market all but dead as more Consumers opt for multipurpose tablets instead of dedicated devices for reading e-books. Sony (SNE) threw in the towel this year, and Barnes & amp; Noble (BKS) May not be far behind.

However, two companies have Continued to release new e-readers on a regular basis: Amazon (AMZN) and Rakuten’s ( RKUNF) Kobo.
In 2013, Kobo shocked the industry by doing the opposite of what everyone else had for the past few years. Instead of Continuing to slash prices and Aiming to make its devices an impulse buy, Kobo released the Aura HD, a premium e-reader priced at $ 170.
The Aura HD sold well (Kobo says rather than being a niche product, it made up roughly 25% of its sales), and now AMZN has responded with the $ 219 Kindle Voyage ($ 199 with Special Offers.)
