Kobo Clara 2E | eReader | Glare-Free 6” HD Touchscreen | ComfortLight PRO Blue Light Reduction | Adjustable Brightness | WiFi | 16GB of Storage | Carta E Ink Technology | Waterproof

I love this e-reader. It is my first one so I am biased, but I am extremely happy with this purchase. I'll make a list of pros and cons for easy reading.Pros:- Long battery life (I keep my charged when not in use anyway but it will last you a long time if you're a heavy reader)- Nice screen; you can adjust the brightness easily on the side, and the e-ink is nice on the eyes. You can also put it in dark mode if you want to.- Amazing customizability: you can change the font, the space between the words and lines, the margins, justification, font weight (like how bold it is), and set what the header and footers show.- LOTS OF STORAGE: 16 GB of book storage, how nice! Better than the 8 GB you get with the Kindle of the same price, yes?- Environmentally friendly: made of recycled plastic??? Uh, heck yes???!!!- BLUETOOTH! Can listen to audiobooks (I don't but maybe you do)- LOTS OF BOOK OPTIONS! You can connect to your local library system, transfer epubs through Calibre (super easy to do by the way), AND find LOADS of titles in the store. I have yet to find a book on my TBR that's NOT on the Kobo store.- Pocket Articles! You can read those on there too (I don't use it but again someone probably does)-THE SIZE! Super lightweight, can fit in my jacket pocket or back jeans pocket (I don't recommend that though, as the screen is really sensitive), and it is very portable if you commute a lot and don't like taking something heavy or bulky (which I do because I am a student).-COLLECTIONS: You can put your books in collections! Let's say you have the entire Harry Potter series on your Kobo, you can put it all into one collection for easy access and it will stay organized!-Highlighting: Just tap & and hold, drag, and release!Cons:- Screen response time is a tad bit slow compared to smartphones and tablets, not a big issue but still something to note.- Keyboard residue: If I type an annotation super fast then the previous key's shadow will remain until I leave the annotation screen. This happens to other buttons too but it seems to resolve itself fast so this isn't a big issue either.- A bit hard to annotate. Sometimes when highlighting, if a new annotation is right below the previous one it will select the previous annotation on the same page instead of the one I'm trying to make. A bit frustrating but you just gotta remove the previous one and make a single one on that page.-DOES NOT come with its own charging block. It comes with a charging cord but not the block, you'll have to get one for it.-Not many options for cases. I've looked around on Amazon for a case, and luckily I found one that I like. Not great options, but there are cases out there.I can't think of anything else to say about this device. Again, it's not perfect, but I couldn't ask for a better device for my needs. It is a great alternative to Amazon and is based in Canada (if that matters). Most e-books are cheaper, and it's great for when you don't have a lot of room or money for physical books, no matter how great the feel of paper is. I was thinking of getting a Kindle, but I ultimately chose this one. It is cheaper than the Kindle (well cheaper than the device-equivalent Kindle), more user-friendly (from what i've heard on Reddit. I consulted the threads on there for help lol), holds more books, AND it's made out of recycled plastic. So much better than my 10-in iPad I was reading on. I don't regret buying this AT ALL, and consider it a well-made investment. I love it, and will probably continue to go with Kobo for the rest of my days.Hope this helps, cao!

I love how small and lightweight this is. And waterproof! It was a good price but doesn't feel cheap. UI is pretty good but I wish library integration was a bit more seamless. Overall very happy.

I actually like it a lot. I personally bought this because I’ve always struggled with reading and have a few learning disabilities which usually makes it more aggravating than fun because I have to go over the same paragraph multiple times to understand it. But this makes life so much easier. I read 100+ pages yesterday on it which is huge for me because usually I only read like 10-20 pages before I wanna throw the book across the room. It has a feature where you can tap the words you don’t understand and it will define them for you. It has a progress page that shows you how many hours you’ve read/how many books/pages per minute you’ve read. It’s water proof so I read in the bath lol. It has a natural light setting so it doesn’t harm your eyes. It looks just like paper and not a phone screen. Its battery life is long lasting. The book I bought downloaded in literally like 5 seconds. I love that I can just quickly grab it and click the on button and it’s ready to go. There’s highlights and note features so you can annotate it if you’d like. I haven’t tried the audio feature yet but definitely will in the future. It’s small and light and easy to carry around or fit in a small bag/purse. I should have gotten this years ago tbh

I have both a Kindle and this Kobo that I acquired within a few months of each other (my Kindle is the equivalent size/price range), and the Kobo is by far a better device. No ads, cleaner page refresh, and better color temperature & backlight range.I am a prolific reader so I primarily source my ebooks through my public library (via Libby), and the upload process on the Kobo is the same as on my Android, so easy-peasey. To upload to the Kindle I have to take an extra step, and some of the library ebooks aren't compatible with the Kindle.If I'm taking an ereader somewhere with the potential of losing it I take the Kindle, as it would be way more upsetting to lose the Kobo than the Kindle.

If you're in the market for an e-reader, you have found "The One." For real, I think this is reading perfected.If you are between a Kindle or a Kobo, unless you are super attached to the Kindle app, I would go Kobo. Files are much easier to transfer, just drag and drop your computer files. It connects to your library account and also the Kobo plus store for unlimited books!This model in particular is an excellent pocketable and holdable size, only one button on the back to lock and wake your device, and a USB-C port to match all your other devices. The screen resolution is excellent for an e-ink screen, and the night light is a great late-night reading option. Its smooth and easy to operate, very intuitive design, and waterproof. The battery lasts a lifetime. It's the next best thing to an actual book, and now you can take your entire library with you anywhere you go! Buy this.
