Clara Colour | eReader | 6” Glare-Free Colour E Ink Display | Dark Mode Option | Waterproof | Audiobooks | 16GB of Storage | Black

Initially, I had a Kobo Libra Colour, but found that it was a bit too large for my liking. While I did love the buttons, I just wanted something a bit smaller and lighter. The color screen was a must, so there weren't a lot of options. I gave this a try, and am more than pleased with it. It's about the size of a basic Kindle. Looks almost just like one, although the corners aren't as rounded, and obviously, it says "Kobo" across the front, rather than "Kindle." It's got 16 gigs of storage - more than enough for a library's worth of books if you don't have manga - and a decent color screen. Now, I say "decent," because it is e-ink, not because this device has a poor display. It's never going to be as bright or vibrant as an LCD, that's just the nature of the display type. But it still looks good for color panels in comic books and manga, and book covers as well. Not to mention, you can make annotations in different colors, for organization. The user interface is very simple to use. It shows you what you need to know, and nothing you don't. I find it much easier to navigate than stock Kindle software. I'd intended to install KOReader on it, but I have no need to. The base software works great for me. You can only use dark mode when you're actually reading a book, however, so the interface will always be in light mode otherwise. Not a huge deal, but a little disappointing nonetheless. You can actually add custom screensavers to your Kobo pretty easily, too. Just plug it into a computer, open the folder labeled, ".kobo," make a new folder in there called, "screensaver," and then put your screen savers in. It will randomly select one every time you put the device to sleep. You may need to increase the brightness and saturation if you want colors to show up clearly, but it's still a nice feature for customization! Not to mention how easy it is to sideload books onto it. Especially with Calibre. Effortless to put all your books on it. Plus, the store interface is pretty easy to use as well. You can also use Overdrive to get books rented from your local library onto it as well. There's no way to run out of things to read, really. Battery life is great, if you turn off bluetooth and wifi. I've been reading like crazy - have read a couple 400+ page novels with it over the past couple weeks - and it's still at 75% battery. I have my brightness a bit lower, so that definitely contributes, but still. You will get a lot of life out of this thing. Overall, I think this is a wonderful ereader. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get into color ereaders without breaking the bank.

I love my clara color!! I have a libra color too but first I had a kindle paperwhite. Love the fact you can highlight in other colors! The brightness you can change with a swipe on the side of your page. helps when the sun setting and you need it brighter or at night time when you need it more dim. the light doesnt bother my partner aside of me sleeping. I love that its waterproof and I can read in the pool or in the hottub or even the bath! Next is the beach! The battery lasts over a month. I barely have to charge it! Its very responsive compared to kindle. Its reliable enough its my travel e-reader of choice! Another plus side to this is that I can hook up my library card to be able to borrow books right from OverDrive! (we got my friends kid one for her birthday!). only con i have, is you cannot email documents or epubs straight to the device like you can with kindle. You have to hook it up to your computer and use Calibre to upload those documents or files you want to add. But you can also buy right from kobo itself or even sign up for a kobo version of "kindle unlimited".

Very open ecosystem, very good quality, software is easy to use and navigate. Consistent updates, snappy enough for browsing libraries and the store. Color is there and a game changer compared to B&W, but don't expect to view high class photography. It does work very well for visual novels, though. I've only ever used the back light indoors and never really above 20%, though it's eink and if it's bright you don't need the backlight. Love the warm color filter in bed, though.

I absolutely love this ebook reader. Like any ebook reader, it helps me focus on the activity of reading. Where this really shines on the hardware side: - The color cover of the book you’re currently reading (along with progress) triggers me to pick up and read again. I’m reading a lot more than I did before getting this reader. - The location of the button to wakeup the device is perfectly placed to allow for me to grab it and start reading, all one handed. On the software side: - The wakeup feature is lightning quick. I can squeeze in a quick read, regardless of how little time I have. - The colored highlighting incentivizes me to highlight even more than I would normally. - I like to read more than one book at a time and swiping and switching takes a couple seconds, which is enjoyable. - The ebook format compatibility is second-to-none. - Using overdrive is a breeze. The only con that the book store is a little lacking. I would 110% buy again.

I love my ereader! Perfect size. Anti glare screen works great. Responsiveness is sometimes a little slow but otherwise it works great.

I love mine! I’ve had it since April of this year, the only thing is, I wish I would have bought the warranty. Today, some of the text was looking a bit faded. I thought it was my eyes, but nope. It’s only really evident when the back light is on. But I love the battery life, portability, and speed of it! It’s a great little device! Also, as a former Kindle user, it’s on the smaller side of e-readers. And it’s comfortable to hold with one hand! I HAD a pop socket on it, but my pup retaliated after I brushed her teeth…. Buy this, and you’ll likely read more. It’s my travel buddy, and I’ve reached my reading goal already for the year!

Love this! The screen is bright, the size is perfect and the price is a lot better than the other brands out there. After doing a lot of research on other eReaders I am definitely glad I picked this one!

I bought this for my girlfriend and realized it wasn’t the one that allows for Drive and Dropbox connections, but instead of returning it I kept it for myself. Best decision I’ve ever made. I cannot live without this thing. Battery life is outstanding, lasts forever. Is extremely light weight, so you don't get tired using it. Screen is nice, just like paper and also has dark mode. And it is basically plug and play.

Top apparaat. Wilde eerst niet aan de e-reader maar ben nu om!

I was humming and haring about this purchase, but it was worth every penny love it!

Tout un achat cette liseuse. Petite mais combien efficace. Facile à initialiser, simplement placer la caméra de votre téléphone sur le code barre et voilà le travail se fait et tous vos livres se transfèrent de votre compte Kobo à votre liseuse. Vous êtes prêt à lire vos livres. Un plus, la couleur du surligneur et pour vos jaquettes de livres aussi. En somme un petit bijoux de technologie ,cette liseuse est petite facile à ranger dans vos sacs à main. Conviviale, elle remplace très bien ma première liseuse qui m’a suivi partout depuis 15 ans. Celle-ci voyagera aussi avec moi partout.

My second purchase for my niece. Strongly recommend getting this if you are in Singapore using NLB resources. The fact that this device is connects to Singapore's NLB ebooks already indicates the necessity to have this. Color is real and warm. It really elevates the reading experience. I like a stand alone device as it keeps kids honest about what they are doing on the ipad. Also, ipad's color may not gentle on the eye. Contrast to Kindle... Sometimes i tend to accidently press the button at the bottom and sleeps it. Clara's button is at the back where your finger will normally rest holding the device. and that helps....

Il Kobo Clara Color si è rivelato un acquisto più che soddisfacente. Il display a colori è nitido e piacevole alla vista, con colori naturali e un testo sempre leggibile anche in condizioni di luce variabile. Il design è elegante e curato, e il dispositivo è comodo da tenere in mano anche durante lunghe sessioni di lettura. La batteria dura a lungo, il che lo rende ideale per chi legge in viaggio o prima di dormire. L'unica nota contrastante riguarda la velocità di navigazione, che qualcuno trova non sempre fluida – un dettaglio minore che non compromette l'esperienza complessiva. Consigliato a chiunque cerchi un e-reader affidabile, bello e funzionale.
