Works seamlessly, smoothly, and I love that it partners with libraries!! Much better deal than B&N or kindles considering how many books you can get for free through this partnership.

Love my Kobo Clara BW Reader—it's like a mature Am*zon K*ndle that natively supports EPUB format and doesn't have any ads! Well-built device with a very good screen, and is very responsive. Plenty of storage and battery life is very good. I paid full price, so wasn't a great deal, but still competitively priced (I definitely did my research). Highly recommended!

Love it! It’s the perfect size to fit in my pocket on the go. Battery life is amazing. I wish it would sync across multiple devices since I prefer to read my Sage at home. And iPhone when I just have a minute. But love it still.

So refreshing to escape the Amazon Kindle hegemony and put EPUB books directly on my device! Also enjoy using the Kobo store and using OverDrive. Reading experience is excellent too. Crisp readable fonts and small size make for comfortable in-bed reading.

I’ve only had my Kobo a month but I’m already in love. I’m on my third book and the battery life is still at 62%. Checking out books from the library is quick and easy. All around I am a very satisfied costumer.

In very pleased with my Kobo. It's so easy to borrow library books and make purchases. Also very intuitive and effortless to use. I'm reading more than I have in years.

Needed to update my old Kobo as it died. This one is much better, the on/off button on the back much easier to deal with than the fiddly little control on the old one. Also love that it will just go to sleep instead of switching off completely if you leave it.

I love it! I take my Clara to work with me for downtime and it's saved me. It's the perfect size, has a really nice display, and the battery lasts forever.

The Clara was the perfect fit for me. My original device (Sony E-reader) no longer was supported, and I wanted to retain the smaller screen footprint and ready availability to my 200+ books. I have barely scratched the surface with storage so there is plenty room to add more books as I go forward. The screen depicts clean script and the adjustable lighting works very well.

This is my first eReader device and I’m very happy with it. I haven’t read this much in such a long time. I love being able to take notes, see statistics, and save a list of vocabulary words. I also love being able to purchase my own books as well as check out books from my local library. I hope to use my Kobo for as long as I can.

I absolutely love it. I purchased this for travel and multi day hiking. The battery last forever and the screen is so easy to read from - I don’t need glasses like I do from a normal book so don’t need to pack those either. Even at home I am using this multiple times a week. Purchasing books through Kobo is incredibly easy and there is a very wide selection to choose from. I am so happy with this purchase.

I decided to purchase this since I kept getting distracted by my phone when trying to read ebooks. It took me a while to make the decision to buy one but I finally chose to buy one! My first eReader. Loving the Kobo so far! It runs perfectly and I’ve been reading so much more than usual since it’s such a pleasure to read with (a couple hours at least each day). Definitely keeps my focus on the book and nothing else which is just what I wanted. My library books sync across easily which I’m happy about. I’ve only charged it once and it has been just about 2 weeks since. So the battery is good so far too. 38% now. I think the downloads I’ve been doing have been draining it a bit faster as well. Very impressed. It is plastic of course, but it feels nice and solid regardless, especially paired with a case. Only thing to note is, I paid for priority shipping and it took a little longer than I’d have liked. But still within the expected priority time frame so I can’t complain too much. Maybe worth just sticking with free standard shipping. Overall, really happy with my purchase! I don’t have any regrets. Definitely worth buying.
