The Kobo Clara BW is a competent, high-quality monochrome e-reader that is well-suited for users who prefer standard text reading and library integration. However, because it is priced very closely to the newer Kobo Clara Colour, which offers a more powerful processor and color screen for only a small premium, many reviewers recommend opting for the Colour model instead. It is not a bad device, but its value proposition is weakened by its own product lineup.

Warum wechseln: For a small price difference, you gain a color display and a significantly more powerful processor.
