A new favorite
This is my first kobo ereader and I’m in love. Its compact design makes it effortlessly portable, which allows me to read on the go conveniently. For reference, it’s similar to the kindle basic model in terms of size and feel of material with a non flush screen, but has the performance and features of a kindle paperwhite. Unlike kindle, the kobo clara colour is ad free!When the device is in sleep mode or powered off, the book cover shows with the reading progress percent tag. However, you can easily customize that by turning that option off in settings or by creating custom lockscreens using a quick online tutorial.The color display was one of the main features that attracted me to this model and it truly enhanced my overall reading experience. I appreciate the multi color options for highlighting memorable quotes or color coding to easily reference key information. In comparison to a tablet, the coloration is not as saturated, but that’s expected and personally it doesn’t detract from my experience.The various reading settings and e-ink screen allow for longer reading times and optimal reading comfort. Dark mode and the natural lighting are my favorites and I appreciate the convenience of being able to adjust the brightness by swiping up/down on the lefthand side of the screen. The upper right corner of the screen when reading is where you’ll find the reading settings and tools (lighting, font, dictionary, navigation tips, etc).Adding books to my library can be done directly on the ereader with wifi or using another device depending on the source of the file. For kobo store and overdrive, direct sync with ereader. For anything else (cloudlibrary, bookbub, previously owned ebooks, etc), the computer. There are probably other methods, but that’s what has worked best for me. Once I’m finished, I make sure wifi is turned on and click sync and then my library is updated with the new files. For energy saving purposes, I mostly keep the wifi setting off and have noticed an improvement in battery life.Even without purchasing the kobo plus subscription, it’s very possible to read completely free with this device. The kobo store offers a wide selection of free ebooks and there are also various websites such as bookbub to stay updated on daily ebook deals for free or discounts. For borrowing library ebooks, the overdrive/libby system is built in, but if your local library utilizes cloudlibrary instead, you can still sideload those books to your ereader using adobe digital editions. Just go to the kobo website and follow the instructions. Another plus, kobo price matches as long as it meets their criteria listed online.Overall, at the price point and everything this device offers, I think the kobo clara colour is a wonderful ereader and alternative to the kindle. However, those who prefer KU or are not tech savvy may not feel the same. I have owned and used my kobo daily for 2 months and wish I had purchased it sooner. Highly recommend!

I love this thing!
This is my first ebook I have ever purchased and I’m very pleased with this. I love the activity analytics section where it tracks how fast I am reading and estimates how long it will take to finish the current chapter and the entire book and also it tracks how many pages read per minute. I dont know why but it just makes reading more fun seeing how fast I am reading and seeing my progress. The multi colour highlighter is also a very nice feature especially when reading non fiction books highlighting interesting facts making it easier to go back and find later on. The device itself is very light and nice to hold. I got the cobalt blue sleeper cover which does add a little extra weight but it is still very light. And I really love that royal blue colour. I find myself reading a lot more because of this thing and also reading a lot faster not awkwardly holding a book open. The e-reader itself is fast, downloads quick and changes pages quickly, but going on the internet sites such as google its a bit slow. As for the display it is very easy on the eyes. You can adjust the brightness easily, and theres also an automatic natural light adjustment at night time to make it even easier on the eyes when reading at night. The colours are not bright like they would be on a phone, theyre somewhat pastel, but I like that… it gives the feel of images on paper and not on a gadget. The one thing I did not like about this device is that I put a pin pass on it so my daughter wouldn’t go on and make purchases, but kids being kids when you tell them “no” they do the opposite and she attempted to open the device, and at the bottom of the pin pass screen it says “forgot password? Sign out.” And so she signed me out and in doing so it factory reset the device and I lost all data and the activity section was cleared. Kobo really needs to fix that or at least put some sort of warning there for others who might sign out not knowing. Thankfully my books purchased are saved on my kobo account but everything else on my kobo was factory reset. The cover and the reader were purchased the same day from the same seller but for some reason sent separately. The cover came fast but the reader took a bit longer. But both were delivered days before the expected delivery date. Overall I am very happy with my new kobo clara colour and I would highly recommend to anyone out there who is interested. Five stars!

Me gustó mucho la verdad. Llego en 1semana y cachitoHasta ahora la batería le ha durado bien, los colores se ven bien y como es mi primer lector electrónico me parece agradable y cómodo para leer libros en digital. No he notado algún detalle con los pixeles ni nada por el estilo. Va de maravilla. La verdad lo recomiendo si quieres ver las portadas a color y si eres de aquellos que subrayan fragmentos de los textos con colores bonitos :3

Me gusta mucho que puedes personalizar todo el libro a tu gusto ya que tiene mucho rango en tamaño de letra, margen, encabezado, pie de pagina etc (osea no te da a elegir entre tres tamaños de letra sino entre muchísimas opciones de tamaño de letra) Acepta muchos formatos por lo que no tienes que hacer uso de programas para transformar los libros que ya tienes. Ni siquiera tienes que usar computadora ya que yo los descargue directamente de mi correo ya que kobo tiene la opción de navegar por internet (es muy básica), Me gusto que en modo espera y apagado la portada del libro que estas leyendo se queda en la pantalla. Los colores no son brillantes como en un celular (obviamente) pero se ven bonitos, aunque está misma tecnología hace que la pantalla no sea tan blanca ( se ve un poco gris ). Se puede resaltar dentro del libro con 4 colores diferentes. Se puede programar la suspención o el apagado del equipo por inactividad. Seleccionar cada cuando se refresca la pantalla(de 1-10 páginas o cada capítulo). Te da estadística de velocidad de lectura y tiempo de lectura, libros leídos (aunque si relees un libro ya no lo cuenta y lo quita de libros leidos hasta que lo acabes nuevamente). Pude notar que en modo oscuro va dejando letras fantasmas, algo que en modo blanco no se ve (para mí gusto nada grave). Este lector va mas para libros ilustrados y personas que disfruten de ver las portadas a color por qué para comics es más complicado por el tamaño de la pantalla. También hay que considerar que el kobo es de 16 GB de los cuales 12 ya están ocupados por el sistema. En el caso de México no está la opción de pedir libros prestados a bibliotecas públicas. Tiene en función beta la opción de escribir o dibujar en una hoja en blanco que puedes guardar y después consultar y modificar, pero solo es una hoja y solo tinta negra y es complicado escribir (si por esto lo compras no vale la pena). En funciones beta está también el navegador que es muy básico, y no carga muchas páginas por ejemplo intente con webtoon y si entra a la página pero a la hora de leer el comic ya no lo carga por lo que no es buena opción si quieres leer comics en linea por qué no se puede. Fuera de eso la verdad me gustó mucho y cumple su función principal que es ser un lector de libros electrónicos y me arrepentí de no haber comprado el Kobo libra color por la función completa de la libreta. En las fotos dejo una comparación con un libro en dónde una está con luz al 100 y la otra sin luz.

Llevaba buscando una alternativa para lectura que me permitiera enviar fanfics y otros archivos digitales y está me sorprendió por su capacidad y facilidad de acceso a opciones de visualización. Mi única opinión no tan positiva es que en realidad que sea un lobo color y uno a b/n no hace tanta diferencia, ya que los colores son opacos, así que si no te interesa el color puedes optar por la opción a b/n. La pila le dura muchísimo, solo lo he cargado en 3 ocasiones desde que lo compre y leo cada noche.
