The Kobo Touch eReader has proven itself a respectable competitor for the Amazon Kindle and Barnes and Noble Nook. The Kobo touchscreen eReader recently was released at a retail price that was very competitive with the two best selling eReaders. Due to this fact and its simplistic ease-of-use, it actually spent some time as the top selling eReader in the world. This is the first time that any reader other than the Amazon Kindle has received such fiduciary and widespread recognition.
And what better way to start off your Kobo Touch eReader experience than with a great free e-book. Kobo’s website lists their top free and paid e-books, much like the Amazon Kindle store does for their Kindle, and Barnes & Noble for the Nook. What exactly are the most popular Kobo e-books? You can understand better what Kobo readers are into by checking out the top 5 free e-books for the Kobo Touch eReader listed below.
