Rakuten Kobo Reviews 

Ease of placing the order. The quality of the product. The delivery time.

Books at good prices and the ones I like to read.

Product came packed in good condition. No wear or scratches. All buttons functioning properly. Delivery was seamless as well and the user interface was pretty easy to set up(watched a lot of YouTube videos)

So far, I love my Kobo Libra Color. My only complaint is that I can't use all my library cards at once on OverDrive. It only allows one library card at a time. So having to log out and back in under a different card every time I wanna pick up a hold on my Kobo is frustrating.

The battery in the refurbished Nia was defective, couldn't hold a charge.

First time ereader user and my experience with the Kobo Clara colour has been phenomenal! I can't put the thing down!

Great product.
And delivered pretty fast for a 7 - 10 days.

I initially bought the Kobo Clara BW, and I absolutely loved it. I fell in love with the size, the sharp screen, and the Kobo ecosystem. However, I had always wanted to try a color e-reader.

When I first got the Kobo Clara Colour, I didn’t like it at all. Then I realized that if I kept comparing it to my Clara BW, it would never be good enough. So I decided to give it a fair chance, and before long, I fell in love with it.

It does take a little time to get used to the darker screen, but once I adjusted, the device felt perfect. Seeing my book covers in color is such a nice experience. Do I need it? Well… yes, kind of! 😅

It has now become my primary e-reader. I honestly can’t imagine going back to the Clara BW. I was also surprised that the battery seems to last longer than some reviews led me to expect, though that may be because I usually keep the brightness at 11 or lower and rarely go above that. At night, I read in Dark Mode and use even less brightness.

I absolutely love it, and I love having color, even if that sounds a little vain! 😂💖📚

I ordered the Clara Colour on 5-19-26and the payment was deducted from my account on 5-21-26. Apparently, my item(s) were sent/delivered to an address in Florida while I have only lived in Indiana. Today is June 13, 2026 and I still have not received my order.

It's easy to use - especially library books but also purchased ebooks. It's got great print quality - my eyes don't tire. I love the size - I can take it with me wherever I go.

It was easy to order, took around 2 days. Parcel arrived intact. Love the quality and how it looks. In a lot of reviews they mention that it feels a little too plasticky. I get no such feeling. It’s sleek and really good to use. Reading experience is great. Easy to download books on to the device. Love it. Recommending it to anyone considering to purchase an e reader.

I would highly recommend supporting this company and their products.

I wanted to read more but have limited space at home so I looked into getting an e-reader. Kindle doesn't deserve my money, but Kobo certainly does. I have been really happy with mine so far and don't really have any complaints. The screen is responsive, the backlight is adjustable and really nice for reading at night without disturbing my wife, and the connection to my public library wonderful. Kobo offers the best e-reader out there without pushing any ads in your face and a wonderfully simple UI that lets me get to reading without any nonsense.

Love my Kobo, hate that I lose all my downloads with every update.
Every update all my pdfs and epubs that I loaded through dropbox or google play disappear. ARC read books, Ao3 downloads, etc... all gone every update.

Read about 15 books a month. Have trouble with my eyes and love being able to increase the font etc. This is my second one and now have audio which I use all the time in the car and often at home.

Kobo is the the only eReader that I have and will purchase in the future. The Gold Standard of eReaders. I'm on my 3rd one. The first I gave away long ago, the second is still working well,with new battery.

This was my first ereader! It’s beautiful. I’ve been addicted to uploading books, I have seriously been so happy with it. I even use my phone to upload the books too! Moving the files is so easy.

These are the various time I bought Kobo E-books for myself, & friends. It’s convenient & light to bring out to read anytime everywhere. Thanks 🙏

The Kobo feels natural in my hand and I find the font and layout choices to be mush easier to read than on the Kindle. Easy Libby integration made this an easy choice for me as a regular Libby user.
