Kobo Clara BW Review

 

The Kobo Clara BW is not the best e-reader or the most exciting in the Kobo line-up, but it is one of the most practical.

It’s water resistance ; Wide array of features ; Top-tier E Ink screen ; Coat pocket friendly

The screen will seem small to some ; Colour E Ink available for a little more £

The Kobo Clara BW is all the e-reader you need with all the features you want, bar colour E Ink. However, in this relatively early stage of colour E Ink going mainstream, there’s still a good argument for sticking with just the most mature of e-reader...

Kobo Clara BW review: It’s great, but I don’t know why it exists

 

The Kobo Clara BW is an excellent black and white e-reader, and usually, it would be an easy recommendation. However, I can't recommend you buy it.

Great price ; Repairable ; Excellent reading experience ; Weeks of battery life ; Crisp and clear display ; Simple but solid software ; Price guarantee on Kobo Store is great

Value doesn't compare to the Clara Colour ; Slippery plastic build ; Boring looking ; Only 16GB of storage ; Lacks Dropbox integration
