Kobo Clara BW | eReader | 6” Glare-Free Touchscreen with ComfortLight PRO | Dark Mode Option | Audiobooks | Waterproof | 16GB of Storage | Black

The Kobo Clara Black and White is an excellent e-reader with a crystal-clear screen. You will not be disappointed with its two-week battery life, even if that may seem less impressive compared to Amazon Kindles. Its wonderful features and seamless integration with computer software like Calibre more than make up for it. With Calibre, you can easily and freely send books from Project Gutenberg, and you can rest assured that you actually own the E-Ink library you are building. Just like physical books, you know that the files on your hard drive—whether from publishers, Project Gutenberg, or other free resources—are truly yours.Amazon Kindle, on the other hand, robs you of ownership. They have, in fact, recently revoked people of access to books they believed they owned. If a book is on Kindle, you no longer truly own it. That’s why I give my utmost endorsement to those considering a switch to Kobo. But don’t switch just because you dislike Kindle—if your Kindle works for you, use it until its battery gives out. However, if you’re looking for a new platform, I urge you to choose Kobo.If you’ve never tried E-Ink before, buy the Kobo. Try it—you won’t be disappointed, and you won’t want to go back. This device truly shines when paired with the Calibre library system. Calibre is a free program you can download on macOS or Windows, and it completely changes your ability to manage a vast E-Ink library and transfer books to and from your Kobo with ease.The Kobo Clara Black and White is compact enough to fit in your pocket. You can change the font and typeface with ease, and you can easily switch the background to black and white to make nighttime reading easier on your eyes.All in all, I highly recommend the Kobo Clara Black and White and give it my full endorsement.

I am still waiting on mine, but it is my 5th Kobo device. I am just replacing it because I lost my last one. A killer feature you really need to know about is public library integration with overdrive. You can add your library card right to any of the Kobo readers and browse and search your local public library just like the Kobo store. If it is available, you can download it right then, or place a hold to get it as soon as you can. Or if it is not avaiable at all, you can simple change your search for the Kobo store instead and just buy it. Kindles have the capability too but it requires a second device such as a laptop or phone and is much more complex.Also, where Kindle is basically locked to only buying books from the Kindle store, the Kobo is compatible with other Epub stores such as Google or christianbook.com. I never need to go to another store to find an available title but occasionally I will find a book on sale at a different store and I can buy it cheaper there.Lastly, the Kobo has Pocket built in. With pocket, you can install an app on your phone or your laptop browser and anytime you come across a long web artical that you want to read later, you can click a button, save to Pocket and it will sync a streamlines version (without ads etc) to your Kobo reader.Having said all of that, before purchasing the Clara, be sure the check out the Libra. The physical page turn buttons are worth the extra money, though unfortunately, it is only available in a Color model, which is nice but I do wish there was still a BW version of the Libra for about $40 cheaper. At any rate, check out all of the Kobo models before deciding.

Amazing. Love the features on this one. The slide for brightness is very convenient. Long long battery life and great build quality

Form factor identicle to the Kindle paperwhite except it reads epub rather than mobi or azw.And will mount to a computer allowing crossloading of files, a capability recently disabled on the Kindle platform

Bought this for my wife. She loves it. She was using the Kobo App on her phone, but it was giving her eyestrain issues. Switching to this fixed that issue. The screen is clearer, and the options to change some of the font and contrast made a world of difference. The only issue we have found stems from the plastic used for the housing. It is kind of slippery, which makes holding it a little annoying, but the addition of a protective case fixed that, so it really isn't a bother. She has dropped it a few times already, even before getting the case for it, and it hasn't taken any damage. Pretty durable. Good size, easy to read. Not too heavy.

Best purchase of this year. So much better than a kindle. I love my kobo. The quality is amazing, size is perfect for on the go.

Amazing condition and quality for a used product. It was like new.

Perfect size, up and running in no time. I love my Kobo Libre Colour, but this is may just become my name fave piece of tech I bought this year.
