Kobo Clara Colour | Colour eReader | 6” Glare-Free Colour E Ink Kaleido™ 3 Display | Dark Mode Option | Waterproof | Audiobooks | 16GB of Storage | Black

This is my first kobo ereader and I’m in love. Its compact design makes it effortlessly portable, which allows me to read on the go conveniently. For reference, it’s similar to the kindle basic model in terms of size and feel of material with a non flush screen, but has the performance and features of a kindle paperwhite. Unlike kindle, the kobo clara colour is ad free! When the device is in sleep mode or powered off, the book cover shows with the reading progress percent tag. However, you can easily customize that by turning that option off in settings or by creating custom lockscreens using a quick online tutorial. The color display was one of the main features that attracted me to this model and it truly enhanced my overall reading experience. I appreciate the multi color options for highlighting memorable quotes or color coding to easily reference key information. In comparison to a tablet, the coloration is not as saturated, but that’s expected and personally it doesn’t detract from my experience. The various reading settings and e-ink screen allow for longer reading times and optimal reading comfort. Dark mode and the natural lighting are my favorites and I appreciate the convenience of being able to adjust the brightness by swiping up/down on the lefthand side of the screen. The upper right corner of the screen when reading is where you’ll find the reading settings and tools (lighting, font, dictionary, navigation tips, etc). Adding books to my library can be done directly on the ereader with wifi or using another device depending on the source of the file. For kobo store and overdrive, direct sync with ereader. For anything else (cloudlibrary, bookbub, previously owned ebooks, etc), the computer. There are probably other methods, but that’s what has worked best for me. Once I’m finished, I make sure wifi is turned on and click sync and then my library is updated with the new files. For energy saving purposes, I mostly keep the wifi setting off and have noticed an improvement in battery life. Even without purchasing the kobo plus subscription, it’s very possible to read completely free with this device. The kobo store offers a wide selection of free ebooks and there are also various websites such as bookbub to stay updated on daily ebook deals for free or discounts. For borrowing library ebooks, the overdrive/libby system is built in, but if your local library utilizes cloudlibrary instead, you can still sideload those books to your ereader using adobe digital editions. Just go to the kobo website and follow the instructions. Another plus, kobo price matches as long as it meets their criteria listed online. Overall, at the price point and everything this device offers, I think the kobo clara colour is a wonderful ereader and alternative to the kindle. However, those who prefer KU or are not tech savvy may not feel the same. I have owned and used my kobo daily for 2 months and wish I had purchased it sooner. Highly recommend!

As a guy with a long history of reading on Kindles - my favorite being the Oasis - I decided it was still just a bit too big for comfortable holding for an hour a night, even though it was the best of the eReaders I have, or had. Which includes the latest Paperwhite, the Kindle Coloursoft, Kobo Libra, Libra Color, Kindle Basic, etcetera. The Kindle Basic was my preferred SIZE / weight of 6", because I could add a finger strap/grip to the middle of the back, and easily reach the strap with fingers of either hand. BUT... The Basic has one deal-breaker for me: NO WARM LIGHT!! Completely stupid decision not to allow that on the Basic, when the 7" PW only costs like $25 more! So you could say that for less than $10 they could have added a warm light option - and sold a ton of them. Anyway, the Kindle Colousoft was great-ish, but it had three big issues: 1). Too expensive. $130 more than the Kobo Clara Color. 2). No buttons!! This is marketed as a "premium" eReader, yet had nowhere near the premium look and feel of the Oasis. Which has buttons. I like buttons on a larger then 6" eReader. Swiping is OK for a 6" one. 3). Has no Large option for the main screen, for bigger covers and text for those less blessed than those with young and perfect vision. The Kobo Clara Color is perfect in that it has it all: 1). 6" size for lightness and fitting in pockets easily 2). Color screen to add some dimension to book covers and highlighting 3). Large print mode, (Beta Feature), similar to what the Oasis has 4). Warm Light It doesn't have Kindle Unlimited, but I found I don't read fast enough to make that worthwhile, anyway. Also, I can borrow books from the Library on either device, so... Overall, it's a high-quality device, and I'm thrilled to have finally found something like this that checks all my boxes.

I'm unable to hold books by hand anymore due to hEDS making it painful. This, with the nice case I got for it, has changed that. I'm able to hold this without issue. I love that I can also expand and reduce the size of the print, and the backlighting adjusts for the lighting in the room. There's no glare on the screen either, with it being matte. A single button on the back for waking it up and turning it on/off. I also have access to Overdrive and can connect with libraries to check out books. Sometimes it gets stuck trying to connect with Overdrive, but that's only because I haven't synced it. Syncing fixes that. The long battery life means I don't have to charge it everyday, which is a plus with ADHD (I forget to charge things). It's a simple and easy device, and functions on the simplest level. A child could figure out how to use this. With the small size, even in its case, I'm able to take this whenever I leave the house. No getting bored while riding in the car or in the waiting room for doctor and physical therapy appointments. Yay! It's been worth every penny.

This reader is the perfect size and weight for me. I love the warm light and the color is a great feature as well. I didn’t know if I was going to like it as much as my Paperwhite after receiving it, but after a few weeks with it, I love it! The Libby/Overseive functionality is a win and the device is snappy and everything works great. The lighting is a little less even than my paperwhite, but becomes unnoticeable after reading for a few minutes. The price is better than most readers and the functionality is excellent!

Me gusta mucho que puedes personalizar todo el libro a tu gusto ya que tiene mucho rango en tamaño de letra, margen, encabezado, pie de pagina etc (osea no te da a elegir entre tres tamaños de letra sino entre muchísimas opciones de tamaño de letra) Acepta muchos formatos por lo que no tienes que hacer uso de programas para transformar los libros que ya tienes. Ni siquiera tienes que usar computadora ya que yo los descargue directamente de mi correo ya que kobo tiene la opción de navegar por internet (es muy básica), Me gusto que en modo espera y apagado la portada del libro que estas leyendo se queda en la pantalla. Los colores no son brillantes como en un celular (obviamente) pero se ven bonitos, aunque está misma tecnología hace que la pantalla no sea tan blanca ( se ve un poco gris ). Se puede resaltar dentro del libro con 4 colores diferentes. Se puede programar la suspención o el apagado del equipo por inactividad. Seleccionar cada cuando se refresca la pantalla(de 1-10 páginas o cada capítulo). Te da estadística de velocidad de lectura y tiempo de lectura, libros leídos (aunque si relees un libro ya no lo cuenta y lo quita de libros leidos hasta que lo acabes nuevamente). Pude notar que en modo oscuro va dejando letras fantasmas, algo que en modo blanco no se ve (para mí gusto nada grave). Este lector va mas para libros ilustrados y personas que disfruten de ver las portadas a color por qué para comics es más complicado por el tamaño de la pantalla. También hay que considerar que el kobo es de 16 GB de los cuales 12 ya están ocupados por el sistema. En el caso de México no está la opción de pedir libros prestados a bibliotecas públicas. Tiene en función beta la opción de escribir o dibujar en una hoja en blanco que puedes guardar y después consultar y modificar, pero solo es una hoja y solo tinta negra y es complicado escribir (si por esto lo compras no vale la pena). En funciones beta está también el navegador que es muy básico, y no carga muchas páginas por ejemplo intente con webtoon y si entra a la página pero a la hora de leer el comic ya no lo carga por lo que no es buena opción si quieres leer comics en linea por qué no se puede. Fuera de eso la verdad me gustó mucho y cumple su función principal que es ser un lector de libros electrónicos y me arrepentí de no haber comprado el Kobo libra color por la función completa de la libreta. En las fotos dejo una comparación con un libro en dónde una está con luz al 100 y la otra sin luz.

Very Bad. The package is lost. it isn't cheap product, it costs 209 pounds

Me gustó mucho la verdad. Llego en 1semana y cachito Hasta ahora la batería le ha durado bien, los colores se ven bien y como es mi primer lector electrónico me parece agradable y cómodo para leer libros en digital. No he notado algún detalle con los pixeles ni nada por el estilo. Va de maravilla. La verdad lo recomiendo si quieres ver las portadas a color y si eres de aquellos que subrayan fragmentos de los textos con colores bonitos :3

Llevaba buscando una alternativa para lectura que me permitiera enviar fanfics y otros archivos digitales y está me sorprendió por su capacidad y facilidad de acceso a opciones de visualización. Mi única opinión no tan positiva es que en realidad que sea un lobo color y uno a b/n no hace tanta diferencia, ya que los colores son opacos, así que si no te interesa el color puedes optar por la opción a b/n. La pila le dura muchísimo, solo lo he cargado en 3 ocasiones desde que lo compre y leo cada noche.
