It is way better the lobo e-reader I purchased from Boarders. It is way quicker on turning the pages same screen but can be used at night. It is also touch screen. All around does a good job and a really good upgrade.

I absolutely love my Kobo! It arrived pretty quickly. Books are super easy to download and the interface is super customizable! I love being able to have my own personal screensaver! I’d definitely recommend this e-reader to everyone!

I was very skeptical about getting an e-reader but after having for just about 2 weeks, I would never go back!! It is so easy to connect to the internet/library. I haven't had to charge it since I first got it which is amazing and I've already read over 5 books! I haven't done in years!! I like that I can take it anywhere, very user friendly, I was able to tailer everything to what I need. My honest opinion, is just get it! You will love it!

Like the small size and fact you can read library books as well as those you own. A little slow to power up, but nothing painful. Library interface needs work so you don’t have to sign off/on to read books from different libraries - even in the same network using the same card. Super irritating.

I love love love my Kobo Clara BW. At first I was a bit concerned that it was smaller than I imagined but the second I started reading I saw why. It’s super comfortable to hold and weighs almost nothing, so my hands never get tired or uncomfortable and I can carry it everywhere. The features are perfect, the reading timer, progress, font options, the quality of the screen. I love everything about my ereader ❤️

The Kobo Clara is a great little reader. Everything I could want in an e-reader and crazy long battery life. It's lightweight, waterproof, has a tight interface, tunable light spectrum, and USB C charging. Syncs perfectly via wifi or with Calibre. 100%

I brought a second one for my mum and she can't stop using it. Ha! She always said she preferred the real book.

Fun way to read books. Worth the price. Very lightweight. I appreciate the dictionary lookup, dark reading mode, adjustable font size, spacing, and sleep cover color choices.

Kobo is a thousand times better than Kindle. The ability to use Overdrive to borrow library books makes Kobo rank so much higher. Highly recommend

It was exactly what I was looking for. Very lightweight, which is ideal for me, and roughly around the screen size of my phone. Compact enough to easily fit in my bags. I wish there was a manual or a QR code to one so that I could use it to its full potential, but other than that, no complaints.

Great device and does everything well. I may need to get a case mainly because I find it unlocks itself while in my bag. One thing to keep in mind if you're considering one

Super slow and constantly require resetting wifi and/or kobo remote. Then I was told that the issue could be the sleep cover that I bought at the same time on kobo website as the magnet could cause weird things... it is frustrating.

One you have a book downloaded the device works well as an e-reader. However since purchasing this I have spent more time attempting to get books onto the device than actually reading them. You connect to one drive to access books from the library, sometimes the sign in doesn’t work. When it does work I have borrowed books from the library, tried to sync them to the device which won’t work. The book has to be the exact same edition on both the library and the Kobo e-store. I have borrowed over 20 books from the library and 2 of them have been compatible.
