It was the Clara HD that introduced the rapid page turn engine to the Kobo UX. That's something neither the Amazon Kindle nor the Kobo Nia will get you. More importantly, that screen has amber LEDs and an automatic time setter for the blue-light filters to come into play. While the basic Amazon Kindle and the Kobo Nia are cheaper than the Kobo Clara HD, this is our pick for a budget option as it, for a tiny bit more money, gets you a 300ppi 6-inch screen – a much better resolution that the cheaper options. It's in no way 'cheap', but take all the upgrades into account and the value for money here is unbeatable. It does all this without costing too much more than the Libra H2O that it's replaced. OverDrive support to let you borrow library books (yes, this remains despite the phone app being moved over to Libby), Pocket integration so you can read saved web articles, extensive file format support, and a very streamlined interface. More importantly, for the first time for Kobo, it brings Bluetooth connectivity so you can listen to audiobooks, and ups the storage from a mere 8GB on the older models to 32GB. We liked the Libra's screen – it's got great contrast compared to older ereaders – as well as its battery, which lasts for weeks, and its charging, which uses USB-C so is quicker to power than lots of rivals.Īll the other great features that make Kobo ereaders stand apart from the Kindles are here as well. It's a fantastic all-around champion that should be your first port of call when buying an E Ink device. We gave the Kobo Libra 2 full marks in our review, which should really say all you need to know about the ereader.
