Our take on the Kobo Clara Colour eReader

The Kobo Clara Colour is a 6-inch eReader with an E Ink Kaleido 3 color screen, 16 GB of storage and IPX8 water resistance. Color makes book covers, comics and highlighted passages look right, but the color layer softens contrast and resolution compared with a plain black-and-white screen. It suits readers who want a small, waterproof reader for comics and illustrated books and who borrow from public libraries through OverDrive. Against the Kindle Paperwhite it trades sharper monochrome text for color and stays outside Amazon's store, so check where your books come from.

Questions and answers

Is the color screen worth it over a black-and-white eReader?
Only if you read comics, illustrated books or want color covers and highlights. For plain novels, a black-and-white screen gives sharper text and better contrast.
Can I read comics on it?
Yes, but the 6-inch screen is small for dense page layouts. Simple comics read fine; text-heavy panels need zooming.
Is it waterproof?
Yes, it has an IPX8 rating, so it survives being dropped in the bath or pool. Rinse and dry the port before charging.
Does it work with Kindle books?
No. It reads Kobo's store and EPUB files, and it borrows from public libraries through OverDrive. Kindle purchases need conversion and DRM removal.
How much storage does it have?
16 GB, which holds thousands of books. Comics take far more space than novels.
Does it have a headphone jack?
No. It pairs Bluetooth headphones for audiobooks and charges over USB-C.
