I am free from the tyranny of Kindle's ecosystem. After Amazon killed their own proprietary eBook format I had hoped they would adopt an open platform that maximized user control and freedom. I have found freedom. Kobo let's you side-load with ease both officially and through 3rd party add ons. This eReader is a joy to use. The auto backlight is perfectr. The ease of organizing collections is excellent. The smooth Calibre integration is all a power user could hope for. If you want eBook freedom Kobo gives it to you.

Absolutely love my Kobo e-reader! It's a pleasure to read with. It's small and portable while still having a large enough screen to read from (bigger than a cell phone). The e-ink screen is much easier on the eyes than a cell phone or tablet screen. And I much prefer the Kobo ecosystem to Kindle - you're not locked in like you are with Kindle, and it's very supportive of sideloading books (such as with Calibre) and borrowing books via Overdrive/Libby is super easy. Highly recommend!

I have used Kindle readers for quite some time, and decided to try something different since the reviews were so good, and I'm not disappointed. This reader is far snappier than any of the Kindle's I've had over the years. Compared to my current Kindle (2020 Sage Paperwhite) this is miles ahead - fast page turns, super-fast downloads, much less cluttered interface, good battery life, and better power button location. Clearly, a 4-year-old Kindle (even a Paperwhite) is not a fair comparison, but given the unattractive color options for the currently available Paperwhite (the new models have just been released - metalic finish likely to scratch easily) I thought the time was right to experiment, and I have no regrets what-so-ever. I like the light-weight and the much lower cost (129 USD v.s. 200 USD for a Paperwhite) This weighs significantly less than my 2020 Paperwhite and has the same display size. The only thing this lacks is the inability to access Amazon ebooks, but given that almost all publishers set their selling prices, you can get the same books from Kobo at the same prices (except those published by Amazon) No issues with library connection, no issues with side-loading books from my library (expect for those I bought from Amazon), and a much cleaner user interface. If you have a massive Amazon ebook library, this may not be the best option for you. Some publishers do specify no DRM, which allows you to read on whatever device you prefer rather than being locked into the seller's system) but if you borrow from the library regularly or obtain ebooks from a variety to sellers and not just Amazon, this is worth a try. It's like a standard Kindle with much better features at the same price. I'm considering replacing my 2020 Paperwhite with a standard Kindle, since those at least come in a color that I would not be embarrassed to use in public, but only because the speed and weight of this reader are so much better that it makes me sad to go back to the old Paperwhite to read books that are locked into Amazon's system.

I don’t typically leave reviews but I love this ereader too much not to. I’m going away for a trip and needed a way to take books with me. Being able to adjust the size of text and brightness as well as the light weight of it makes reading so much more enjoyable. The battery life is great and I’ve even taken it in the shower with me. UI can be a touch slow but that’s part of the sacrifice with such a long battery life. Not usually noticeable when reading only a bit in menus. I’ve been reading so much more since getting it, I wish I would have gotten one sooner.

I absolutely love the Kobo Clara BW. The 6-inch screen is incredibly sharp, and the glare-free display makes it feel just like reading actual paper, even in direct sunlight. It is extremely lightweight and comfortable to hold for hours, and the battery life is insane—it seriously feels like it lasts almost forever on a single charge. One of my favorite features is how easy it is to sideload and add my own books directly onto the device without any hassle. Something that I cannot do with my Kindle. The ComfortLight PRO is also a game-changer for night reading, automatically shifting to a warmer tone so it doesn't strain my eyes. If you want a dedicated, distraction-free reading experience, this is easily one of the best options out there.

I was skeptical at first when it came to reading books off an e-reader. I love the feel of having a physical book in hand and turning pages but reading off these books is amazing. The ability to change light settings and brightness is great for reading at night. As you can tell from the video, it’s quick and responsive when it comes to turning pages or going to the menu or switching settings. The weight of the device itself is pretty light. The plastic it is constructed from feels sturdy. At first it felt and looked cheap but I’ve dropped it once from 3ft and it did not get a single scuff. It is waterproof since I’ve taken it into a pool and got zero damage. The screen itself also feels sturdy. Battery life itself has proven to last quite some time. I charge it almost every two weeks and I do heavy reading on it (3-4hrs a day). I did play with the settings a bit on separate occasions, once the battery only lasted barely a week and a half and the other time it went over 2 weeks. The device itself has never overheated and I don’t see why it should. Storage space wise. There is no way I will ever fill up 32gb worth of books. I currently have 8 books loaded up on it and they’re all 5-20mb in size, with another 7 loaded up to be transferred. When it comes to loading books onto the device, you can easily plug it into a computer via the usb-c cable it comes with. Open up the device folder and drag and drop right into it. Once you’ve safely removed the device from the computer, your device will load and it will show your new books. I haven’t bought or tried out anything from the built in store, not sure how it works but looks like you can download an app on your phone, but the books there and then they will download to your device. TLDR: it’s better than a kindle in my opinion. Spend your money on this model and sideload books by drag and drop. Where you get your ebooks is none of my business but there are places where they are free…

It's such a pleasure to use, and I'm enjoying reading more than ever (getting through books a lot faster, too). It's nice to have a distraction-free device that does not strain my fifty-something year-old eyes. That said, there is one annoyance that I can't figure out. I've noticed that the page turn function will briefly stop working every several pages. I'm reading and tapping away, then the tap won't turn the page. I tap it again and the Clara BW will turn two pages instead of one, meaning I have to tap the other side to get back to the skipped page. The same thing happens when swiping. This is happening with different books, which are EPUBs sideloaded through Calibre. I've tried having Calibre convert to KEPUBs (Kobo-friendly version) before sending to the Kobo, and also just sending the EPUB and having the Clara BW convert it. No luck. It doesn't seem like a hardware issue because the screen is perfectly responsive when navigating menus, etc. I've discovered on various Kobo forums that the page turning issue is a common problem. Kobo has yet to address it. My workaround when a page is stuck is to tap briefly in the center, which brings up the UI without skipping the pages. It's annoying either way. I understand that some users like to load up another interface called Koreader. That's not an option for me, because I don't want to spend ages customizing its ugly interface to something comparable to the aesthetically-pleasing Kobo UI. Less is more! I just want it to work. This device is otherwise perfect, and if I can figure this out, it will easily be the best purchase I've made in ages.

I love my new Kobo Clara black & white! I was a hold out pgetting an ereader for a very long time. I love the feel of a book in my hand, turning the pages and putting a bookmark in to hold my place. I finally became convinced to try one. Then, I couldn’t decide if I wanted the Kindle Paper White or the Kobo. After watching/reading many videos/reviews, I finally chose the Kobo and I’m very pleased with it. First, I have arthritis issues in my fingers/hands. Holding this ereader is so comfortable and easier than a physical book. It’s lightweight and small enough to hold in one hand…..a big help when my hands are in pain! Second, I thought it would be a pain turning the page and waiting for the next page to appear. Not so. It’s very quick. Almost seamless imo. It really makes the experience of reading smooth. Additionally, you can change font and size. Lastly, I don’t disturb my husband who is usually trying to sleep when I’m reading.🙄 You can adjust the light and I have mine set to darken at night. Still easy to read in the night mode. Since I have the black and white version, there is no color. I don’t read children’s books on it or comic books so I didn’t feel I needed that. I don’t care if the cover is in black and white. If you do read children’s books or comic books and you like to see the covers of your books in color, then maybe the color versions would be something you may want. I took a picture of it below with the Kobo inside a case I also purchased from Amazon. I love this and the case. Its perfect for me and I’m very happy with my choice! Happy reading everyone!
