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

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.

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.

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.

Great alternative to Kendal. Not as many books.

Does just what it's supposed to do, and that's why I like it. Compact and very easy to navigate

Best reading device since my county library books are available on it.

Easy to use. I live it

The Kobo Clara BW is a simple, no-nonsense e-Reader. It's a great value for the money. I love accessing e-books and audio books from my local library, using Libby. Moreover, the battery life is phenomenal, as are the font choices and the eye-friendly screen. I bought a protective case for my e-Reader, too. Now, I take it everywhere with confidence and read to my heart's content.
