Na jaren boeken te hebben gelezen op m'n mobiel toch deze kobo aangeschaft. Had ik veel eerder moeten doen! Pak 'm sneller om even verder te lezen dan de app op mijn telefoon.Installatie gaat vlot, boeken er op zetten ook. Batterij gaat weken mee!

Uitstekende e-reader, waar ik niet meer buiten kan.Echt een aanrader als je op zoek bent naar een e-reader.

Mooi apparaat, simpel in gebruik en installatie. Blij mee

De reader slaat veel vast en dient dan gereset te worden en het omslaan van de bladzijden gaat vaak niet per bladzijde, maar per 2 of 3 dat is zeer hinderlijk

Verlichting werkt niet goed

Batterij Gaat weken mee!

Ich bin sehr begeistert von dem Kobo Clara.Mein alter Kindle war mir zu langsam, und USB-C zum laden, auf langen Reisen, ist bequemer. Und ich wollte ein vernünftiges Nachtlicht, blaufilter, integriert haben. Da habe ich mir den ganz neuen Kindle Paperwhite angeschaut, leider ein 7 Zoll Gerät. Amazons 6 Zoll Kindle wäre perfekt, hat aber kein Nachtlicht.Also habe ich etwas gesucht und bin hier hängen geblieben. Kurz getestet und tada, neues Lieblingsgerät. 6 Zoll, tolltes Nachtlicht, sehr schnell, und du kannst beim lesen per Wischgeste die Helligkeit des Displays anpassen.Ich finds toll.

Très bien. J'étais septique sur les liseuses et très agréablement surprise. Facile pour télécharger un livre (il faut d'abord le télécharger sur un ordi) et la batterie tient la charge très longtemps. Les paramètres (lumière, caractères...) sont faciles

I’m very satisfied with my kobo Clara BW.It performs well at reading ebooks and complex pdf files. I am a very, very fast reader and the Carta 1300 in the kobo refreshes fast enough for me. Contrast is great and the backlight makes it usable in the dark. The killer features for me is the integration with Libby (for ebooks from the library) and the ability to load books on via a computer. Battery life is sufficient when on auto standby (~2 weeks) and indefinite if you turn it off properly when not in use.

I am still waiting on mine, but it is my 5th Kobo device. I am just replacing it because I lost my last one. A killer feature you really need to know about is public library integration with overdrive. You can add your library card right to any of the Kobo readers and browse and search your local public library just like the Kobo store. If it is available, you can download it right then, or place a hold to get it as soon as you can. Or if it is not avaiable at all, you can simple change your search for the Kobo store instead and just buy it. Kindles have the capability too but it requires a second device such as a laptop or phone and is much more complex.Also, where Kindle is basically locked to only buying books from the Kindle store, the Kobo is compatible with other Epub stores such as Google or christianbook.com. I never need to go to another store to find an available title but occasionally I will find a book on sale at a different store and I can buy it cheaper there.Lastly, the Kobo has Pocket built in. With pocket, you can install an app on your phone or your laptop browser and anytime you come across a long web artical that you want to read later, you can click a button, save to Pocket and it will sync a streamlines version (without ads etc) to your Kobo reader.Having said all of that, before purchasing the Clara, be sure the check out the Libra. The physical page turn buttons are worth the extra money, though unfortunately, it is only available in a Color model, which is nice but I do wish there was still a BW version of the Libra for about $40 cheaper. At any rate, check out all of the Kobo models before deciding.

I bought the Kobo Clara BW because I wanted a simple e-reader that supported all the major file types. I didn't want to be stuck in one ecosystem. It also needed to be lightweight, compact, with a long battery life and have the ability to be useful in direct sunlight. I can happily say that it certainly excels at all of that.Out of the box the setup, updating and activation processes were straightforward and relatively easy. I was using the device in a matter of minutes.Reading for an hour or two a day at lower brightness levels is purported to allow several weeks of use between charges. Speaking of charging, it maybe takes an hour and a half to top up from a low battery level.Bonus points for the company being eco-conscious in their design philosophy. The reader is made from ocean-harvested recycled plastic and is highly repairable (you can even order specific repair kits from Kobo's website to install yourself, if you like to tinker). There's nothing fancy about the form factor here, just competent design and wise materials usage.Loading it up with books was as simple as plugging it into my PC and copying a folder from it to the reader. It connects with a USB-C adapter cable, which is fast becoming the standard for most electronic devices these days. As well, you can buy and download books through the built-in Kobo bookstore app.With 16gb of storage, you can put more books on this thing than you can ever possibly hope to read in a lifetime. Kobo-specific audiobooks are also supported and downloadable from their app store. To listen to them, you simply connect a bluetooth device to the reader.There aren't a huge array of settings or options, which I actually appreciate. I wanted it for reading, not endless menu diving. That said, there are some thoughtful options available, such as choosing between tapping and/or swiping to turn pages and using 'dark mode' to save battery life--where the screen is black and the words are white. There's even a mode to automatically reduce blue light when reading at night so it doesn't mess with your circadian rhythm.Other standard features include the ability to: highlight text, look up words with the built-in dictionary, set bookmarks by tapping the upper right corner of the screen and make notes.There's a rudimentary web browser if that means anything to you and a simple drawing app (not supported by any of the Kobo styluses), but they seem more like afterthoughts since they are buried in the 'beta features' section.The e-ink carta 1300 screen is very clear with good contrast. It's super easy to adjust on the fly regarding brightness level and font size. Speaking of fonts, there are plenty to choose from and you can import more if the onboard ones aren't to your liking. There's even an option for making everything display as large print for those with vision impairment. Page turns are quick without the exceasive flashing and hesitating that some older e-ink readers are prone to.Book covers do take some time to load and only update as you scroll through your book list. This only has to be done once though and then they remain permanently visible the next time you scroll through. The covers are also very small in the list view, but you have the option to view them full screen when opening a new book to read.The reader is also waterproof, so there's no fear of it getting wet at the beach or in the tub.It also tracks your usage and provides some interesting statistics about your reading habits if that interests you.Finally, with the optional case, you can set it to go into sleep mode when you close the cover and wake up when you open it again. Very convenient.All in all, this is an excellent choice for those who don't care about fancy color screens or more robust note taking possibilities. This is a reader, first and foremost, and it excels at being that.
