Kobo Clara 2E

The media could not be loaded. I have always been an avid book reader. But I had always used phone as a mode of reading. Finally, I decided to purchase an ereader just to get bigger reading area and less distractions which I normally get from phone.I decided on Kobo because sideloading of ebooks in various formats is super easy. Also it's exactly the right size. I have pretty small hands but even I can handle it pretty well.Plus points:1. It's really light-weight.2. No distraction.3. Easy sideloading of various formats of ebooks possible.4. Simple UI.5. Battery life is decent. It lasts me more than a week or so if I read 5 hours daily.6. It's amazing in bright sunlight. The texts are crisp and highly visible.7. It's perfectly pocket-sized. So I would say it's travel-friendly (please use a case tho peeps).'Somewhat' Negative points-1. It's plastic overall and thus slippery. Cover/case is a must need.2. Ghosting is a problem but that's the case with every other eink reader. But it's not a huge deal. It ultimately gives the feeling of paper where you can see both side's printed text.3. Browsing internet is just bad. So basically you can only think of simple tasks like pushing a button and praying you don't have to scroll a webpage, because that experience is not made for an ereader.4. I tried listening to an audiobook but kobo is moody most times and does not connect with bluetooth earphones easily. I would not use kobo for audiobook functionality.5. Touch sensing is slow as you can see in the video.Negatives aren't much of a hassle for me and thankfully I'm not regretting switching from phone (which is faster and has better audiobook functionality) to an ereader as I wanted something only to read. So yeah, go for it!

Great product.

I have kindle basic 2022 and frankly i think this is a step up. Clara is comparable to paperwhite but in a more compact form. Its lighter, and the screen is not flushed unlike the paperwhite, giving it a more eink appearance. It is also waterproof. The UI and processing is cleaner and prettier and faster. And for someone not reliant on amazon for their books, clara is wonderful. It also has bluetooth for audiobooks.I cannot wait for kobo colour to hit india.

When you search something by google or try to read internet sites. visibility is very bad.If you scroll the site, it blinking unnecessary for long time.This product looks defective or just a not good product what i have received. I just back from holiday, and found that i can not return also this product. But must want to return it, most of the time bluetooth also not working.
