Note: In the video I said Kindles don't have the option to set page refresh frequency like on Kobos, which is true, but I forgot to mention there is the option to set Kindles to refresh with every page.

A review done right. Thanks.

I find the OS of kobo way more refined and modern. That will always be my go-to reader just for this reason alone.

[@INESCRUZ-he3sk]

In terms of book offers, which one has more?

[@aumarigan]

Kindle

[@ddpanic]

Please consider testing light settings and dark mode also in a room without other light source.

[@TheeBookReader]

Cameras don't focus well in dark rooms and it just looks like a grainy, blurry mess.

[@robertjones811]

styl-less koboing: Finger highlighting on the Clara BW 6'' screen is more accurate than my older kobo with 8'' screen, a very pleasant surprise; font size and line space setting doesn't seem to account for the difference.

When disabling the touch screen on the kindle, how do you turn pages?

[@TheeBookReader]

Swiping is still recognized, just not regular touches.

can you do a clara be and clara 2e?

[@TheeBookReader]

There's this video where I compare the screens on both of them. Otherwise they're like 95% the same. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGfMdWyiltp4g5I

@@TheeBookReader thank you so much! do you feel like the background screen of the bw is darker than the 2e? i know you mentioned the libra 2 is darker than the clara 2e and i realized it too when i tried them out and i got downvoted like crazy on kobo reddit for some reason. do you know why libra 2 is so much more popular even though the clara 2e’s screen is lighter therefore the contrast is better?

[@patriciuslucius]

Actually the speed boost of kobo comes from new CPU from mediatek.

[@robertjones811]

.... and I've read that the screen itself - carta 1300 - is faster than the carta 1200 (as on my older kobo), and it is.

[@chiroptophilia]

Oh the kindle interface is kinda ugly 😶 idk how to explain, it just looks...dated? That home page especially.

[@SteamyPMcGee]

First!

[@Guy_on_Youtube]

No contest tbh. They should have made the kobo 7inch

[@brownwallet942]

Yeah it's called Kobo Libra Colour

[@MrArgman]

nope

[@occono3543]

The Libra is 7 inch.

[@jxjxjxjxjxjx]

Yup I want a 7inch in this exact design! Not Libra’s design

[@doctor1alex]

No contest? That’s not the video I watched.
