I’ve had a Kobo Libra H2O for several years and while I love everything about it, I wanted something a little smaller for the convenience of travel, and throwing it in my purse or sling bag. So far, this is amazing! It’s small enough for portability, yet not too small. The coloring is great and I have NOT noticed any grainy-ness like people complain about on the kindle color. Page turning is great-obviously speed isn’t a huge factor because you aren’t flipping pages that quick. A new feature I didn’t have on my library H2O is the dark mode and I LOVE it. It’s so nice for reading at night and I love the quick ability to just switch it on or off. During the day I read with the white pages and at night I can easily just switch on dark mode. When in dark mode, it’s ONLY the book. It doesn’t affect the home page or anything else, just your reading. It’s light weight, has a good texture on the backside, and is comfortable to hold. I purchased the Kobo case for it and it’s such a great case. Sleep/wake function is perfect, it feels nice, and it adds a little extra girth to the Kobo which aids in the comfortable factor. Battery life is great so far. I’ve had it for almost a week and haven’t had to charge it yet. It’s currently at 78% at the time of this video.

The media could not be loaded. 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!

As a guy with a long history of reading on Kindles - my favorite being the Oasis - I decided it was still just a bit too big for comfortable holding for an hour a night, even though it was the best of the eReaders I have, or had. Which includes the latest Paperwhite, the Kindle Coloursoft, Kobo Libra, Libra Color, Kindle Basic, etcetera. The Kindle Basic was my preferred SIZE / weight of 6", because I could add a finger strap/grip to the middle of the back, and easily reach the strap with fingers of either hand. BUT... The Basic has one deal-breaker for me: NO WARM LIGHT!! Completely stupid decision not to allow that on the Basic, when the 7" PW only costs like $25 more! So you could say that for less than $10 they could have added a warm light option - and sold a ton of them.Anyway, the Kindle Colousoft was great-ish, but it had three big issues:1). Too expensive. $130 more than the Kobo Clara Color.2). No buttons!! This is marketed as a "premium" eReader, yet had nowhere near the premium look and feel of the Oasis. Which has buttons. I like buttons on a larger then 6" eReader. Swiping is OK for a 6" one.3). Has no Large option for the main screen, for bigger covers and text for those less blessed than those with young and perfect vision.The Kobo Clara Color is perfect in that it has it all:1). 6" size for lightness and fitting in pockets easily2). Color screen to add some dimension to book covers and highlighting3). Large print mode, (Beta Feature), similar to what the Oasis has4). Warm LightIt doesn't have Kindle Unlimited, but I found I don't read fast enough to make that worthwhile, anyway. Also, I can borrow books from the Library on either device, so...Overall, it's a high-quality device, and I'm thrilled to have finally found something like this that checks all my boxes.

This reader is the perfect size and weight for me. I love the warm light and the color is a great feature as well. I didn’t know if I was going to like it as much as my Paperwhite after receiving it, but after a few weeks with it, I love it! The Libby/Overseive functionality is a win and the device is snappy and everything works great. The lighting is a little less even than my paperwhite, but becomes unnoticeable after reading for a few minutes. The price is better than most readers and the functionality is excellent!
