Our take on the Kobo Clara Colour

The Kobo Clara Colour is a 6-inch e-reader with a Kaleido 3 color E Ink screen, so book covers, comics and illustrated nonfiction show in muted color instead of gray. It keeps the Clara formula: a compact, lightweight body, IPX8 waterproofing, ComfortLight PRO frontlight with blue-light reduction, 16GB storage and Bluetooth for Kobo audiobooks. Against the monochrome Clara BW it adds color at the cost of a slightly grayer, lower-contrast page and a higher price; against the larger Kindle Colorsoft and Kobo Libra Colour it is the smallest and handiest color option. Reviewers like it as a compact color reader for comics and covers, while noting color E Ink still looks washed out and darker than black-and-white E Ink.

Best forComic and manga readers who want color on a small screenPeople who read illustrated nonfiction and cookbooksReaders who want a pocketable, waterproof e-readerKobo users who want color without a bigger device

Questions and answers

Is the color screen worth it over the black-and-white Clara BW?
If you read comics, manga or illustrated books, yes. For plain-text novels the color layer adds a grayer background and softer text, so the Clara BW is the sharper choice.
How does it compare with the Kobo Libra Colour?
The Libra Colour has a larger 7-inch screen, page-turn buttons and stylus support. The Clara Colour is smaller, lighter and easier to hold one-handed, but has no stylus input.
Can I read in the bath or pool?
Yes. It is rated IPX8, so it survives splashes and brief immersion. Kobo's warranty does not cover water damage, so treat it carefully.
Does it play audiobooks?
Yes, Kobo audiobooks play over Bluetooth with paired headphones or speakers. There is no built-in speaker or headphone jack.
How many books fit in 16GB?
Kobo rates it at about 12,000 eBooks or 75 audiobooks. Comics and PDFs take far more space than plain novels.
Can I read Kindle books on it?
No. It reads Kobo's store and ePub, PDF, MOBI, CBZ and CBR files, but not Kindle DRM-protected books.
Where is the Kobo Clara Colour cheapest?
At Antonline, for $177.56, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Kobo Clara Colour?
Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 16 ratings.
