Kobo Clara Colour | eReader | 6" Non-Mirror E Ink Kaleido 3 Colour Screen | Dark Reading Mode | Waterproof | Audiobooks | 16GB Storage | Black

The only negative thing about the Ereader is the price. Apart from that i am extremely happy with it.

First off make sure you buy from Amazon direct to pay the correct price of 139.99 not the inflated price other sellers are offering. Well the colour works rather well though of course the majority of books will still have the same bw text. I actually like the 6 inch size as I find it is easier to hold in my hands rather than the bigger screens and as you can adjust font size then readability is not an issue. What really bugs me about the Kindle (though everything else works fine) is that when you want to expand the Wikipedia info you have to tap the screen. On every Kindle I have had this never works without frustration. Whereas on the Kobo it's just a light press and away you go. I also like the fact that it isn't restricted to the Amazon propriety Mobi or AZW but uses Epub or Kepub and is much better for PDF files than the Kindle. You can also borrow direct from your library with Overdrive which is pretty nifty. Listen Kindles are fine but its nice to have alternatives and Kobo should be congratulated on bringing out a colour model that works really well.

I love the fact that this is in colour ,and has a backlight so easy to read in the dark or bright sunlight, and good battery life

I bought this at a time when the Kobo Clara BW and Colour were at the same price, and I think I would have been happier with the BW, because I hardly use the colour feature (I get to see text highlights and book covers in colour, which isn't that important to my reading experience) but in low light conditions the colour screen needs the backlight to be turned on while in the same lighting conditions my Kindle Paperwhite (a black and white e-reader) is perfectly readable without use of the backlight. If Kobo were to update the firmware with a landscape reading mode for ebooks, maybe a photo display mode (so I could transfer a collection of jpg files to my kobo and look at them) and even a mp3 player mode (so I could listen to music through the same bluetooth headphones I have to use for audiobooks) then that would improve the product.

I like the small size and can be carried inside a bag as it doesn't weigh much. The screen is quite small and hasn't got the clarity of a Kindle but the matt finish resists any reflections, and it works remarkably well in bright light. The colours are not rich like an oled screen but for reading, this isn't essential. It's unlikely you'll want to read in anything other than black and white. The colour is mostly used for book covers. It's easy to set up an account, so you can get reading within minutes.

Great quality

Can’t get over how tiny it is! It would probably fit in a jeans pocket. It’s not as good quality as kindles but I really like it! Is it slow and glitchy in that the images almost load before your eyes yes however it’s a fab little device! I would recommend just don’t expect it to be like a £200 kindle!

Great colour screen and nice to see book covers in colour. Unfortunately the device frequently freezes and requires a restart, at least once a week. The selection of books is good and the prices are the same as Kindle so it's a good alternative if they sort the reliability

Its so good. I love it! Many usage areas!

I was humming and haring about this purchase, but it was worth every penny love it!

Io prima non leggevo mai, non avevo l'abitudine di prendere un libro e mettermi a leggere, così ho pensato di prendere un ereader per vedere se la cosa mi invogliava di più. Dopo tanta indecisione se comprare un Kobo o uno della concorrezza più famosa, ho deciso di prendere questo perchè ritengo abbia molti ma molti più vantaggi. Primi tra tutti: la libertà totale di importare libri in estrema semplicità, di evidenziare a colori, aggiungere note, aggiungere parole nuove al vocabolario ecc.. Adesso praticamente leggo ogni giorno e non salto un appuntamento, nel giro di 1 settimana ho letto almeno 35ore (c'è una sezione che tiene traccia delle statistiche in generale e per ogni libro) e sto leggendo 3 libri contemporaneamente senza nessuna difficoltà. Fantastica anche l'opzione "instapaper" che non conoscevo affatto, che consente di salvare articoli presi magari dal web mentre siete al pc (grazie ad una estensione chrome) e leggerli poi sul Kobo. I colori li trovo molto belli ed in un certo senso trovo sia molto meglio che non siano proprio vivaci e ultra definiti come possono essere quelli su cellulari e televisioni.. Più o meno sono più colori pastello ma sono molto belli. E' veramente leggerissimo da tenere in mano ed eventualmente si può leggere anche da sdraiati tenendolo facilmente con una mano sola visto che è anche molto maneggevole. Io lo stra-consiglio ovviamente a quelli che sono già lettori ma soprattutto ai NON lettori!

Marche tres bien. Se recharge ttes les 3 semaines environ. On peut jouer sur la luminosité directement sur l'écran, côté gauche, selon que l'on monte ou descend, la luminosité change, ça évite d'aller ds les paramètres...excellent produit

This is my first e-reader, I would’ve gone for the B/W model but the prices were the same for both of them, so I went for the magical gift of colours. The software is intuitive and transferring your local books from laptops is a breeze. The price may seem on the higher end, but if you’re a book nerd, it’ll worth it trust me. Getting decent accessories at an affordable prices is the only con I can say. The screen quality is actually great, even tho people said the resolution won’t be as sharp and it will be darker, I adore the grainy effect, it looks like a newspaper. And the compact size is perfect for me, i can easily carry it in my bag without it feeling like a liability.
