easy to use and great for hEDS folks
I'm unable to hold books by hand anymore due to hEDS making it painful. This, with the nice case I got for it, has changed that. I'm able to hold this without issue. I love that I can also expand and reduce the size of the print, and the backlighting adjusts for the lighting in the room. There's no glare on the screen either, with it being matte. A single button on the back for waking it up and turning it on/off. I also have access to Overdrive and can connect with libraries to check out books. Sometimes it gets stuck trying to connect with Overdrive, but that's only because I haven't synced it. Syncing fixes that. The long battery life means I don't have to charge it everyday, which is a plus with ADHD (I forget to charge things). It's a simple and easy device, and functions on the simplest level. A child could figure out how to use this. With the small size, even in its case, I'm able to take this whenever I leave the house. No getting bored while riding in the car or in the waiting room for doctor and physical therapy appointments. Yay! It's been worth every penny.

A new favorite
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!

Kobo user interface is much better than Kindle
This is not my first Kobo, I already have the Libra 2 purchase around Feb 2024 and the Libra color purchase around June 2024.The Kobo Clara color is a solid eink reader. I like that they are not constantly trying to sell me books. I do not have to pay for ads to be removed from the lock screen. They do make it easy to purchase books if you want but it is not so in your face.Kobo Plus: similar to Kindle Unlimited (KU) except as far as I can tell there is no limit to the amount I can add to my library. I also appreciate they have a subscription level that also includes audiobooks, but the increase to me is minimal as compared to Audible. The books available is less then KU, but I have not had issues find books I want to read. This being a good option will depend on ones reading taste.The added features are a big selling point for me.Overdrive integration: I can read, borrow and places library books on hold directly on the reader. Downside to this is I can only have one library card linked and I have three currently. So that is a little annoying, but still worth it!Pocket app for article reading integration: I save articles that I want to read but do not have time in the moment. Usually when researching something online or when I am come across a news article that I cannot read right then.Added feature that I only use rarely: there is a web browser beta feature. I see this as being helpful if I want to do a quick look up of a word or concept mentioned while reading.The size is perfect for on the go reading!Only downside, but not so big I would give less stars: because the screen is inset, it is easy to get cat (or hair of other pets that shed) inside. Pet hair is not good for tech so I am not a fan of the inset screen for this reason.

Lovin the kobo clara colour 😍
I love the kobo clara colour 😍 💕 I am just a little disappointed that it arrive late. But the package came undamaged. It's the reason I'm giving it a 4 ⭐️ because of it arriving late.
