5.0 out of 5 stars Nice e-reader!
I have used Kindle readers for quite some time, and decided to try something different since the reviews were so good, and I'm not disappointed. This reader is far snappier than any of the Kindle's I've had over the years. Compared to my current Kindle (2020 Sage Paperwhite) this is miles ahead - fast page turns, super-fast downloads, much less cluttered interface, good battery life, and better power button location.Clearly, a 4-year-old Kindle (even a Paperwhite) is not a fair comparison, but given the unattractive color options for the currently available Paperwhite (the new models have just been released - metalic finish likely to scratch easily) I thought the time was right to experiment, and I have no regrets what-so-ever. I like the light-weight and the much lower cost (129 USD v.s. 200 USD for a Paperwhite) This weighs significantly less than my 2020 Paperwhite and has the same display size.The only thing this lacks is the inability to access Bolo ebooks, but given that almost all publishers set their selling prices, you can get the same books from Kobo at the same prices (except those published by Bolo) No issues with library connection, no issues with side-loading books from my library (expect for those I bought from Bolo), and a much cleaner user interface.If you have a massive Bolo ebook library, this may not be the best option for you. Some publishers do specify no DRM, which allows you to read on whatever device you prefer rather than being locked into the seller's system) but if you borrow from the library regularly or obtain ebooks from a variety to sellers and not just Bolo, this is worth a try. It's like a standard Kindle with much better features at the same price.I'm considering replacing my 2020 Paperwhite with a standard Kindle, since those at least come in a color that I would not be embarrassed to use in public, but only because the speed and weight of this reader are so much better that it makes me sad to go back to the old Paperwhite to read books that are locked into Bolo's system.
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing e-Reader!!! Well worth the cash!!
The media could not be loaded. I was skeptical at first when it came to reading books off an e-reader. I love the feel of having a physical book in hand and turning pages but reading off these books is amazing. The ability to change light settings and brightness is great for reading at night. As you can tell from the video, it’s quick and responsive when it comes to turning pages or going to the menu or switching settings.The weight of the device itself is pretty light. The plastic it is constructed from feels sturdy. At first it felt and looked cheap but I’ve dropped it once from 3ft and it did not get a single scuff. It is waterproof since I’ve taken it into a pool and got zero damage. The screen itself also feels sturdy.Battery life itself has proven to last quite some time. I charge it almost every two weeks and I do heavy reading on it (3-4hrs a day). I did play with the settings a bit on separate occasions, once the battery only lasted barely a week and a half and the other time it went over 2 weeks. The device itself has never overheated and I don’t see why it should.Storage space wise. There is no way I will ever fill up 32gb worth of books. I currently have 8 books loaded up on it and they’re all 5-20mb in size, with another 7 loaded up to be transferred.When it comes to loading books onto the device, you can easily plug it into a computer via the usb-c cable it comes with. Open up the device folder and drag and drop right into it. Once you’ve safely removed the device from the computer, your device will load and it will show your new books. I haven’t bought or tried out anything from the built in store, not sure how it works but looks like you can download an app on your phone, but the books there and then they will download to your device.TLDR: it’s better than a kindle in my opinion. Spend your money on this model and sideload books by drag and drop. Where you get your ebooks is none of my business but there are places where they are free…
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice one, Kobo
Worked perfectly. I got it a few months ago and it's my favorite. Easy to carry, working fine and easy to transfer books. Ma'am , it even survived a whole wash in the laundry machine. Incredible.Anyways, I'd suggest reading with the kepub format since the others aren't as comfortable. Good purchase
1.0 out of 5 stars Freezes all the time; cannot sync from Overdrive
- The device freezes all the time when doing anything other than reading. (Opening settings menu, turning on wifi, interacting with the store or Overdrive)- Unless you click Borrow from the Kobo itself, new library ebooks don't sync to my device- When a book on hold in Overdrive is ready, after syncing on the Kobo it still says 2 weeks left on hold, and the book can't be borrowed. Then i click borrow on my phone/computer, see the book in Overdrive, go to Kobo, sync, book doesn't show up.- I don't mind the speed of the eink when actually reading, so readability is good; however, the device doesn't seem powerful enough to handle the basic admin tasks to make it usable.- Brightness is fine. Size is ok.Overall I wish i had stuck with Kindle, but it's too late for me to return this Kobo...Overpriced and not functional. Maybe a software update will fix it, but I'm not that hopeful.

I finally broke down and bought myself an e-reader. The Kobo Clara is perfect for reading by the pool/beach, late at night, or anywhere. I love how easy it is to borrow books on Libby. Bye-bye overdue books. It is very lightweight and easy to carry. The battery also lasts forever! Well worth the money. It's also easy to load books using services like Calibre.

Es mi primer lector así que dudaba un poco pero la verdad que es increíble.La tinta se ve perfecta, de verdad parece que miras un libro y no te cansa. Además el material es bueno y el tamaño es el ideal, un poco más grande que un libro de bolsillo.La respuesta es muy rápida y es muy fácil transferir o comprar libros.

Cumple con mis expectativas para ser mi primer lector es rápido, transfiero mis libros por usb sin ningun problema. Por el momento va muy bien

aun no me acostumbro al estar leyendo, como va pasando el tiempo se adapta la luz de la pantalla,
Básico tal vez demasiado básico
Buscaba una opción compacta y económica que me permitiera ir en transporte, leer pdf y epubs y que se pudiera sincronizar con alguna nube (drive o dropbox), al parecer Kobo se proponía como la alternativa a Kindle (que no se puede ligar a ninguna nube y que parece que tiene problemas para leer epub) pero no fue así, o parcialmente, la opción de la nube está disponible en versiones más caras y en este modelo el pdf no se lee tan bien, es muy lento y no se puede subrayar ningún texto, ah, y los documentos que se suben los nombra y los acomoda como se le da la gana.
