The software is available in eight languages and two variants: English, French, Canadian French, Japanese, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Brazilian Portuguese. Kobo Aura HD runs on the Kobo Firmware, based on the Linux kernel. Battery life was estimated to be up to two months, assuming 30 minutes of reading a day and Wi-Fi turned off. The ComfortLight introduced in the Kobo Glo was also present in the Kobo Aura, allowing a user to read in the dark. This was expandable via microSD card slot adding up to 32 GB of storage was possible. Built-in memory totalled 4 GB, allowing 3,000 books to be stored on the device.

This was accompanied with an angular back design, resembling crumpled pages of a physical book, used for added grip. It was made of a new material whereas previous Kobo eReaders used a soft touch matte plastic, the Aura HD's body was made of a harder, shinier, plastic. The Aura HD shipped in three colours: espresso, ivory, and onyx. This screen was marketed as the 'ClarityScreen+' by Kobo. It was also of a much higher resolution, with a WXGA+ 1440 × 1080 screen offering 265 ppi with Pearl E ink technology, the screen allowed for a much improved text rendering. The screen offered by the Aura HD offered 30% more screen area than the 6 inch screens of competitors. The hallmark feature of this device was the display - at 6.8 inches (diagonal) it was larger than other popular e-book readers such as the Kobo Glo, Kindle Paperwhite, and Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight with screens of 6 inches. Kobo's CEO announced in March 2015 that the Kobo Aura HD was officially discontinued.

The marketing slogan of the Kobo Aura HD was 'The eReader, reimagined.' In October 2014 the Kobo Aura H2O was launched, it has a similar screen resolution to the Kobo Aura HD but has a waterproof coating. It arrived in stores in Canada and the United Kingdom on 25 April 2013. It was revealed 15 April 2013 and allowed for preorders the next day at a price of 169.99 USD/ CAD.
