Prefer the BW over the colour, text is clearer

I recently switched to the BW version after having first purchased the Kobo Clara Colour. I'm very happy with the BW model. The colour model was a great device with a lovely interface but had two major flaws for me:
1) colour e-ink is inherantly darker and I needed the backlight on to read on the colour model.
2) the clarity of text wasn't as good as I expected (because of the colour layer sitting on top of the BW layer).
The BW version has all the features I liked about the colour version (easy to use, responsive, nice interface, good customisable settings) with the added bonus that the text is much clear and it is possible to read with t...view more

Reddit got it right

I bought this for my partner who always wanted a form of e-reader, but didn't know where to start. Reddit pointed me towards the Kobo based on being better for New Zealanders as it can connect to your local library (unlike Kindle).
The black and white one was also recommended over the color as it provider better visibility in darker spaces.

Since the purchase, we concur that Reddit got it right and this product is great! My partner has loved this purchase, especially the extra features she didn't know were possible.

Great eReader

I've been reading books from my library on my phone for years and decided it was time to get something that hurts my eyes a little less. Kobo eReaders let you both borrow books from your library via Overdrive (same as Libby, took a sec to figure out but theres lots of advice online) and upload epubs from your computer! As I understand the kindle lets you do neither of these things, so this is definitely a much more flexible and affordable option in the long term. Great to use outside in direct sunlight which will be perfect for summer.

Decent e-reader

Am enjoying purchasing and borrowing e-books from the library and love that this e-reader is waterproof and has blue light reduction options.

Other than this functionality, not much has changed from my Kobo purchased 10+ years ago. The e-reader itself looks and feels the same and the Kobo online store and usability is all the same, no tech improvements/advancements here.

Really good.

I upgraded from an older model Kindle which was very slow. I find the Kobo to be much better in terms of speed and also the physical device. It is easier to hold and operate. Most of all it's not and Amazon device.
