Title: A new favorite
Review: 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!

Title: Small, portable & convenient!
Review: LOVE this Kobo Clara Color! 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.

Title: Better than Kindle!
Review: This e-reader provides color at a reasonable price. The operating system and controls are quite similar to a Kindle, but NO ADS! As is true of all e-ink color screens, the colors appear a bit muted- similar to newsprint. So the color is nice for viewing book covers, photos and illustrations but is not well suited for comics or graphic novels. The screen illumination is even and can be precisely controlled. It has a “dark mode” (black background, white text), which oddly is toggled from the general settings menu, not from the screen settings or brightness menu. Two very nice features are that you can setup your Overdrive public library account to download books directly to the device, and your Pocket app to download articles directly. Battery life is superior to the Kindle. I won’t be going back to the Kindle. Kindle, we hardly knew ye!

Title: Fantastic functionality and comfort
Review: 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!

Review: 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.

Review: Llevo ya unos memes usándolo y estoy muy satisfecha con la compra. Es fácil cargar mis propios libros, además los puedes descargar desde la web directamente con el dispositivo, lo que simplifica mucho el tiempo. La pila dura mucho, y la adaptación de luz automática funciona muy bien, sobre todo para leer de noche. Los colores son muy suaves, pero no me molesta, ya que se ven casi pastel. Muy recomendado en función diseño/precio/calidad.

Review: Estoy muy contenta porque funciona genial, puedo subrayar el texto con diferentes colores y es sencillo leer PDFs, sin embargo no se puede subrayar sobre ellos como en el libra color.Es cierto que hay que subirle un poco más el brillo para se vea más vibrante, eso para mi no es ningún problema.El tamaño me parece perfecto para llevarlo en la bolsa al escuela y el trabajo.Lo recomiendo!
