    I actually like it a lot. I personally bought this because I’ve always struggled with reading and have a few learning disabilities which usually makes it more aggravating than fun because I have to go over the same paragraph multiple times to understand it. But this makes life so much easier. I read 100+ pages yesterday on it which is huge for me because usually I only read like 10-20 pages before I wanna throw the book across the room. It has a feature where you can tap the words you don’t understand and it will define them for you. It has a progress page that shows you how many hours you’ve read/how many books/pages per minute you’ve read. It’s water proof so I read in the bath lol. It has a natural light setting so it doesn’t harm your eyes. It looks just like paper and not a phone screen. Its battery life is long lasting. The book I bought downloaded in literally like 5 seconds. I love that I can just quickly grab it and click the on button and it’s ready to go. There’s highlights and note features so you can annotate it if you’d like. I haven’t tried the audio feature yet but definitely will in the future. It’s small and light and easy to carry around or fit in a small bag/purse. I should have gotten this years ago tbh

Perfect size. Nice and crisp screen. UI is smooth. Dark mode and natural lighting. Can transfer books from PC as easy as drag&drop. I can find books I want from kobo store easily.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I was a book snob until I got the Kobo Clara 2e
    Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    For decades I truly didn't think I would take to an e-reader. I liked the look and feel of physical books so much! I finally decided to take a chance and give the Kobo Clara 2e a try a few months ago and am surprised how much I love it - and how much MORE I am reading now. It's slim, lightweight, has amazing battery life (lasts for a couple of weeks on a charge generally), and the screen is responsive and enjoyable to read from. I am a huge fan of the varied options for brightness and the ability to change the warmth of the screen. I also LOVE that this has dark mode - unless it's a really bright day and I have it outside, I often prefer reading in dark mode as I find it easier to read. It's great for use in different positions and is far easier than trying to juggle a flashlight and page-turning of a regular book if you want to read in bed at night without disturbing your spouse. It's also nice for trying to break the habit of wasting time on social media - I've been trying to reach for this and read a few pages here and there rather than scrolling on Instagram on my phone.

    I love this e-reader. It is my first one so I am biased, but I am extremely happy with this purchase. I'll make a list of pros and cons for easy reading.

    Pros:
    - Long battery life (I keep my charged when not in use anyway but it will last you a long time if you're a heavy reader)
    - Nice screen; you can adjust the brightness easily on the side, and the e-ink is nice on the eyes. You can also put it in dark mode if you want to.
    - Amazing customizability: you can change the font, the space between the words and lines, the margins, justification, font weight (like how bold it is), and set what the header and footers show.
    - LOTS OF STORAGE: 16 GB of book storage, how nice! Better than the 8 GB you get with the Kindle of the same price, yes?
    - Environmentally friendly: made of recycled plastic??? Uh, heck yes???!!!
    - BLUETOOTH! Can listen to audiobooks (I don't but maybe you do)
    - LOTS OF BOOK OPTIONS! You can connect to your local library system, transfer epubs through Calibre (super easy to do by the way), AND find LOADS of titles in the store. I have yet to find a book on my TBR that's NOT on the Kobo store.
    - Pocket Articles! You can read those on there too (I don't use it but again someone probably does)
    -THE SIZE! Super lightweight, can fit in my jacket pocket or back jeans pocket (I don't recommend that though, as the screen is really sensitive), and it is very portable if you commute a lot and don't like taking something heavy or bulky (which I do because I am a student).
    -COLLECTIONS: You can put your books in collections! Let's say you have the entire Harry Potter series on your Kobo, you can put it all into one collection for easy access and it will stay organized!
    -Highlighting: Just tap & and hold, drag, and release!

    Cons:
    - Screen response time is a tad bit slow compared to smartphones and tablets, not a big issue but still something to note.
    - Keyboard residue: If I type an annotation super fast then the previous key's shadow will remain until I leave the annotation screen. This happens to other buttons too but it seems to resolve itself fast so this isn't a big issue either.
    - A bit hard to annotate. Sometimes when highlighting, if a new annotation is right below the previous one it will select the previous annotation on the same page instead of the one I'm trying to make. A bit frustrating but you just gotta remove the previous one and make a single one on that page.
    -DOES NOT come with its own charging block. It comes with a charging cord but not the block, you'll have to get one for it.
    -Not many options for cases. I've looked around on Amazon for a case, and luckily I found one that I like. Not great options, but there are cases out there.

    I can't think of anything else to say about this device. Again, it's not perfect, but I couldn't ask for a better device for my needs. It is a great alternative to Amazon and is based in Canada (if that matters). Most e-books are cheaper, and it's great for when you don't have a lot of room or money for physical books, no matter how great the feel of paper is. I was thinking of getting a Kindle, but I ultimately chose this one. It is cheaper than the Kindle (well cheaper than the device-equivalent Kindle), more user-friendly (from what i've heard on Reddit. I consulted the threads on there for help lol), holds more books, AND it's made out of recycled plastic. So much better than my 10-in iPad I was reading on. I don't regret buying this AT ALL, and consider it a well-made investment. I love it, and will probably continue to go with Kobo for the rest of my days.

    Hope this helps, cao!

    I've had Kindles before and liked them with the exception that I was tied to one source for books. I like the Kobo, but it does seem to have more lag than Kindle. The turning pages is not as fast. That being said, I do like it. It's a convenient size and does everything I want.

     I absolutely love my kobo. I love reading on it. Somehow, I read books faster on my kobo than with physical books. I'm not sure why but I like it! I like that I can custom the text, margins, spacing, etc.

    With the warm light, I can read late at night without opening any light. My eyes don't get tired while reading it.

    A function that I LOVE is the dictionary. If I highlight a word I can have a definition and a translation. It helps to read in english since it's my second language. I also like that I can bring my kobo anywhere because it's compact and lightweight.

    I loved it so much that I bought one to a friend. So if you're on the fence, BUY IT. It's amazing.

    The only downside is that sometimes the screen is not really responsive. I have to tap twice or tap on tiny icons to access something. It can also be slow at times. But in my opinion it's worth it since it's an amazing way to read.

    J'ai acheté cette liseuse en remplacement de l'ancienne, aussi une kobo.

    Je recommande vivement ce produit pour plusieurs raisons
    - format idéal pour les voyageurs
    - possibilité de mettre plusieurs formats de livre provenant de plusieurs sites
    - facilité d'utilisation
    - bonne autonomie
    - bon rapport qualité prix

    Je conseille néanmoins l'achat d'une protection pour garder longtemps la liseuse.

    Es un muy buen lector, añadir libros es muy fácil es conectar al ordenador y ponerte los libros que hayas descargado
    Recomiendo que descarguen en formato EPUB desde cualquier página que sea de su confianza
    Si estás dado de alta con la biblioteca de tu ciudad puedes usar Ebiblio que es lo de préstamo de libros y básicamente sería lo mismo pero en formato digital para tu Kobo
    Sin más que decir yo lo recomendaría 100% es un lector digital muy bueno cumple con su función y es económico a largo plazo

     I have always been an avid book reader. But I had always used phone as a mode of reading. Finally, I decided to purchase an ereader just to get bigger reading area and less distractions which I normally get from phone.
    I decided on Kobo because sideloading of ebooks in various formats is super easy. Also it's exactly the right size. I have pretty small hands but even I can handle it pretty well.

    Plus points:
    1. It's really light-weight.
    2. No distraction.
    3. Easy sideloading of various formats of ebooks possible.
    4. Simple UI.
    5. Battery life is decent. It lasts me more than a week or so if I read 5 hours daily.
    6. It's amazing in bright sunlight. The texts are crisp and highly visible.
    7. It's perfectly pocket-sized. So I would say it's travel-friendly (please use a case tho peeps).

    'Somewhat' Negative points-
    1. It's plastic overall and thus slippery. Cover/case is a must need.
    2. Ghosting is a problem but that's the case with every other eink reader. But it's not a huge deal. It ultimately gives the feeling of paper where you can see both side's printed text.
    3. Browsing internet is just bad. So basically you can only think of simple tasks like pushing a button and praying you don't have to scroll a webpage, because that experience is not made for an ereader.
    4. I tried listening to an audiobook but kobo is moody most times and does not connect with bluetooth earphones easily. I would not use kobo for audiobook functionality.
    5. Touch sensing is slow as you can see in the video.

    Negatives aren't much of a hassle for me and thankfully I'm not regretting switching from phone (which is faster and has better audiobook functionality) to an ereader as I wanted something only to read. So yeah, go for it!
