It's funny because I both have a kobo and a kindle, and the fact the light is more "dim" on kobo is one of the major pro point for me ahah

[@millernerd]

The r/flashlight subreddit seems to get more excited about minimum brightness than maximum brightness 😅

[@hahayourmom00]

Me too. It looks so much more clear as well 🎉

[@maureenb7399]

Built in feature of Overdrive on Kobo devices makes this a great device for us Canadians. Our libraries do not work with Kindle, as it does in the U.S. Nice to see another colour Kobo!

[@evawoods511]

Didn’t know that you can add multiple library cards on kobo? I definitely need vid on how to add them all!

[@julepandtrubbs]

It’s also great for books written by chefs who also include recipes and photos. Also, art tutorial books. All these books get really heavy and take up a lot of space. This is where it’s so useful to have a colour e-ink.

[@premadimauro2691]

Thanks Dylan I always enjoy your reviews.

[@MsMamamia20]

I think I’m going to get this for my daughter. She’s really into graphic novels.

[@Annbyrd]

If Amazon came out with a color e ink device identical to the kindle app experience you’d have on say an iPad, I would runnnnnn to buy it! I love the option to change the color of the pages, it just makes the reading experience so ideal. It unfortunately doesn’t seem to be a feature on the Kobo. I’m still considering buying this because it’s so affordable. Great review!

[@RuthieGiggles]

Thanks for the review. I’m really interested in getting one but doing my research if kobo or kindle is better.. never had either

[@gracecassandra5277]

To be honest I’ve always put aside e-readers because I love colour covers. I love the visual input of it! Really thinking to get the Libra colour now! Thanks for this amazing review

[@psyboss5658]

Hey there. Thank you very much for that. My e-reader broke not too long go and I'm looking to replace it. I'm not really in need of a colour reader but I know kobo is releasing the Clara BW at the same time. Any chance you'd be able to make a review of it too? I can't find anyone talking about it and I think it'd be really interesting to get more Intel on that 3rd e-reader they announce. Thanks a lot again.

[@pinkinthenat]

thank you for you review! can you turn off the screen light completely? i have a kindle keyboard and i like that it doesn’t feel like i’m looking at a screen at all!

[@troygroff4512]

Great video! Dylan, which is your go to e-reader that you use the most? Thanks!

[@drjandtex]

Benefit of getting a Libra color or Clara color over a basic tablet as an e-reader with ability to hear audiobooks from library using libby or hoopla? Thanks for thorough review!

[@jamesneville441]

Great video! Do you find you can see the text in comic speech bubbles ok on the 6 inch screen? Or the the Libra the better option?

[@astrid4328]

i have a kindle basic and i really love it, the size is great and the reading experience is awsome. my kobo is seven years old now and its big. i want to upgrade to a new device but don't know if i should buy de clara colour or the clara bw. any thoughts?

[@NoahWJP]

Clara colour is for me for sure! Upgrading tomorrow - from idk if ancient is proper, but upgrading from the Kobo Touch 2.0 (that has no backlight) LOL !

[@julepandtrubbs]

Also, Kobos have a thin line as a progress bar on the bottom of the screen. It’s very subtle, but a nice touch.

[@sachadmitriev589]

My Kindle 3 from the past has it too (firmware 3.xx). But my Kindle 10 (firmware 5.xx) only have reading %age. It means Amazon removed it while it's a very good feature I like too.

[@KegRaider]

Still reading on mine to this day. Contemplating an upgrade though.

[@mikkiw.l1497]

Hi, and thank you for this video ! I would love to see a comparison between the Kobo Clara bw and a Kindle basic. I'm not sure how this works, but do you think that you could ask them to send you one ?

[@madmonkey545]

this!! id love to see this comparison also

[@stevebates9056]

Can you change the reading font from black\white to a color font? Color fonts can be good for dsylexia.

[@classicappetite]

I can see you migrate to Kobo exclusively from Kindle in the near future, just like I did haha.

[@andyn6053]

Is the Libra color worth buying instead of the Clara color just for the bigger screen? I dont need the stylus and writing features

[@sjefhoudoe3553]

Wouldn't the closest competitor be the Pocketbook Color? That is an ereader with about the same specs, has the same colour screen, and sells for about the same price.

[@drjandtex]

I read in the tech specs that it plays kobo audiobooks... DOES IT ALSO PLAY DOWNLOADED AUDIOBOOKS FROM MY LIBRARY THROUGH LIBBY OR HOOPLA? It would be nice to have reader that does this rather than using my phone for that.

[@Drgrace94]

Can it be shipped to Indonesia?

[@andybenedict6246]

Is the screen size difference of the Kobo Libra a compelling reason to get that over the Clara?

[@DZ-cq3gs]

Libra is 7" and has game changing page turn physical buttons. Clara is 6".

[@VikingArhold]

Should I get the color or the BW for a first ereader? I’m interested in reading comics as well, however, I could use an iPad for that

[@millernerd]

Reading comics is basically the only situation you should consider a color e-reader. Though idk how well it'd do considering the size. The reason is that color e-readers are drastically dimmer/darker than black and white ones. They typically need the light on constantly. Look at some comparisons of other color e-readers.

[@VikingArhold]

@@millernerd i ordered the BW, really looking forward to it

[@courtr1588]

@@VikingArhold You'll love it! I have the Kobo Clara 2E. My first one had a bad battery but I promptly replaced it and the one I have now is golden. I've had it for about a year now. :)

[@gutawafang]

May i know how i can read one piece manga using the kobo?

[@premadimauro2691]

I have a kindle paper-white and am very happy with it. I do not have any need to purchase this Kobo. I am very disappointed in Amazon for not coming out with their color version. If I did have a need for color I would want to stick with my large selection of books from Amazon

[@madmonkey545]

Rumor is sometime next year :)

[@fatimashmiess]

Can i subscribe in this device if i live in Czech republic????

[@matthias7569]

42days at 30min per day means 21 hour battery life

[@kln9582]

Can you read books on a landscape mode?

[@ilananl1004]

Yes, it turns with how you hold it or you set a fixed portrait or landscape view

[@lordramoth3416]

Can you read in landscape mode on this device?

[@Blablabla-bella]

No, I believe the landscape mode is only available with the Libra device!

[@lordramoth3416]

@@Blablabla-bella disappointed by this. I read landscape on all my kindles even my first gem kindle touch!

[@Blablabla-bella]

@@lordramoth3416 yeah I get that, but the Libra color is coming out on the same day the Clara color is coming out! So there is always the option to get the Libra. It’s more expensive, but if you’re going to make use of the landscape function I would just go for the Libra ;)

[@lordramoth3416]

@@Blablabla-bella thanks for the help. I have a PW and scribe abd I don’t like the look of the 7 inch colour kobo so I will stick with what I have

[@stanislavrico]

So what are the pros for color e-ink in this screen size? Anyway 99% is going to be just plain text, I don’t see any point in reading pdfs at 6 inches. And for $150 with kindle basic plastic…

[@Catkovi]

How's the black on white contrast on this device compared to a Kindle? I've heard it's bad :(

[@millernerd]

Color e-readers just have this problem by nature of the tech. It's usually only recommended to get a color e-reader if you're a heavy comic consumer. I'm waiting to see comparisons with the Clara BW

[@maureenb7399]

It’s actually not bad at all. You just have to turn up the front light.

[@lewis9950]

I so cannot wait for Amazon to release their color e-readers. Even though I’m not a fan of Amazon as a company overall, they do have a chokehold on me when it comes to their ebook ecosystem. If it weren’t for that, I’d gladly switch to Kobo. Yes, I know there are ways to move kindle books over to Kobo but it’s a tedious process imo and I really don’t want to have to go through all of that.

[@WolvenBolt]

I would just like to say that when you described rhe colors of being "very very vivid" and they "pop out", this is false. They are washed out and equivalent to newspaper colors. This isn't bad, it's quite nice to see tbh, but describing it as popping out and vivid is ridiculous and misleading

[@gabrielbrina]

True!

[@crvenom]

Vivid and pop out for being an E-ink screen it's not misleading. He didn't say as vivid as a tablet/phone

[@WateryFire]

Colours by nature pop up. They are vivid if you're in a black and white world. Colours on computers etc. are artificial and don't resemble anything real so I suppose they should be described differently, lol, intense, extra shiny or something.

[@shehuehue]

I get what you mean and I too don't find the colour to be vibrant, but he also showed us the screen in the video, we can judge the colour ourselves, and it's fair if he finds it vivid. So technically he wasn't misleading.

[@2noelle]

I may have misunderstood, but when I borrow ebooks from the library, it automatically shows up on my Kindle. I use the Libby app and there's an option to read with Kindle and it's seamless. So, the Kobo isn't the only ereader to do so.

[@NathanGull]

Only in the US

[@rusadinurima7260]

I love my Kindle Gen 11th USB C . Small, simple, compact and humble. I found beauty and practicality in such unpretentious device.
