Kobo Clara 2E | eReader | Glare-Free 6” HD Touchscreen | ComfortLight PRO Blue Light Reduction | Adjustable Brightness | WiFi | 16GB of Storage | Carta E Ink Technology | Waterproof

I love this e-reader. It is my first one so I am biased, but I am extremely happy with this purchase. I'll make a list of pros and cons for easy reading.Pros:- Long battery life (I keep my charged when not in use anyway but it will last you a long time if you're a heavy reader)- Nice screen; you can adjust the brightness easily on the side, and the e-ink is nice on the eyes. You can also put it in dark mode if you want to.- Amazing customizability: you can change the font, the space between the words and lines, the margins, justification, font weight (like how bold it is), and set what the header and footers show.- LOTS OF STORAGE: 16 GB of book storage, how nice! Better than the 8 GB you get with the Kindle of the same price, yes?- Environmentally friendly: made of recycled plastic??? Uh, heck yes???!!!- BLUETOOTH! Can listen to audiobooks (I don't but maybe you do)- LOTS OF BOOK OPTIONS! You can connect to your local library system, transfer epubs through Calibre (super easy to do by the way), AND find LOADS of titles in the store. I have yet to find a book on my TBR that's NOT on the Kobo store.- Pocket Articles! You can read those on there too (I don't use it but again someone probably does)-THE SIZE! Super lightweight, can fit in my jacket pocket or back jeans pocket (I don't recommend that though, as the screen is really sensitive), and it is very portable if you commute a lot and don't like taking something heavy or bulky (which I do because I am a student).-COLLECTIONS: You can put your books in collections! Let's say you have the entire Harry Potter series on your Kobo, you can put it all into one collection for easy access and it will stay organized!-Highlighting: Just tap & and hold, drag, and release!Cons:- Screen response time is a tad bit slow compared to smartphones and tablets, not a big issue but still something to note.- Keyboard residue: If I type an annotation super fast then the previous key's shadow will remain until I leave the annotation screen. This happens to other buttons too but it seems to resolve itself fast so this isn't a big issue either.- A bit hard to annotate. Sometimes when highlighting, if a new annotation is right below the previous one it will select the previous annotation on the same page instead of the one I'm trying to make. A bit frustrating but you just gotta remove the previous one and make a single one on that page.-DOES NOT come with its own charging block. It comes with a charging cord but not the block, you'll have to get one for it.-Not many options for cases. I've looked around on Amazon for a case, and luckily I found one that I like. Not great options, but there are cases out there.I can't think of anything else to say about this device. Again, it's not perfect, but I couldn't ask for a better device for my needs. It is a great alternative to Amazon and is based in Canada (if that matters). Most e-books are cheaper, and it's great for when you don't have a lot of room or money for physical books, no matter how great the feel of paper is. I was thinking of getting a Kindle, but I ultimately chose this one. It is cheaper than the Kindle (well cheaper than the device-equivalent Kindle), more user-friendly (from what i've heard on Reddit. I consulted the threads on there for help lol), holds more books, AND it's made out of recycled plastic. So much better than my 10-in iPad I was reading on. I don't regret buying this AT ALL, and consider it a well-made investment. I love it, and will probably continue to go with Kobo for the rest of my days.Hope this helps, cao!

I actually like it a lot. I personally bought this because I’ve always struggled with reading and have a few learning disabilities which usually makes it more aggravating than fun because I have to go over the same paragraph multiple times to understand it. But this makes life so much easier. I read 100+ pages yesterday on it which is huge for me because usually I only read like 10-20 pages before I wanna throw the book across the room. It has a feature where you can tap the words you don’t understand and it will define them for you. It has a progress page that shows you how many hours you’ve read/how many books/pages per minute you’ve read. It’s water proof so I read in the bath lol. It has a natural light setting so it doesn’t harm your eyes. It looks just like paper and not a phone screen. Its battery life is long lasting. The book I bought downloaded in literally like 5 seconds. I love that I can just quickly grab it and click the on button and it’s ready to go. There’s highlights and note features so you can annotate it if you’d like. I haven’t tried the audio feature yet but definitely will in the future. It’s small and light and easy to carry around or fit in a small bag/purse. I should have gotten this years ago tbh

I love how small and lightweight this is. And waterproof! It was a good price but doesn't feel cheap. UI is pretty good but I wish library integration was a bit more seamless. Overall very happy.

I really, really, really love this eReader. The more I use it, the more I like it.Everything really is a matter of taste, but here's my 2 cents on Libra 2 vs Clara 2e:I originally bought the Libra 2 and the Clara 2e came out about a week after...I really liked the fact that it's Waterproof, but I wanted something pocketable that would feel comfortable in my hands and I wasn't sure if the reader would feel too big.Sure enough, the more I used it, the more I started to think that I should have waited for the CLara 2e to come out instead.Also, the screen rotation, which I thought I would love was actually annoying and I ended up disabling it. If I tilted the eReader a bit while reading, it would flip the text on me and I had to wiggle it to fix the orientation.Another thing that I really didn't like, that I thought I would, were the page buttons... I didn't like that extra bezel where the buttons live. It made it awkward for me to have to "worry about" which way I was holding the reader and holding it in Landscape Mode wasn't good for me either - yet another thing I thought I would love. Weird...So, I returned the Libra 2 and got me a Clara 2e and freaking LOVE IT.What I love about it:- I'm not tied to the Kindle Ecosystem anymore (drop any non-DRM ePub, text file, PDF, html, practically any format (except Kindle).- I can even drop books from my Android Phone directly into the Clara with a USB-C to USB-C Cable- Clara 2e is a bit cheaper than the Libra 2- It's waterproof (same as the Libra 2)- It fits perfectly in my hand- It doesn't rotate the screen- I have no buttons to worry about- No wider bezel on one side to keep track of- It's the perfect size for my taste- It's kinda pocketable - in jeans back pocket or side cargo short pocket- Battery Live is incredible- I do not miss the extra screen size of the Libra 2- I never read PDFs - it's better to convert them to ePUB with an online converter (your success may vary here)- Pro Tip: Use https://pgaskin.net/kepubify/try/ to convert your ePUB to kepub and fix image clicking and other issuesIn the end, it's all a matter of personal taste. What works for me may not work for you, but I hope this helps someone make a decision one way or the other.Whatever floats your boat...
