Kobo clara hd cover1/29/2024 It’s awfully vague that Kobo advertises “weeks of battery life”, but I found that by reading for a couple of hours each day I depleted the battery in about eight days. Battery life Image: Isabella Noyes/Gizmodo Australia Unlike the Nia, the Clara allows you to change the colour temperature to your preference, so reading at night is much gentler on the ol’ eyeballs. Plus, everything would be rendered in black-and-white. Graphic novels or comic books, for instance, would render okay, but scrutinising the panels on the Clara 2E’s itty bitty screen size would prove a challenge. If you’re reading a novel full of text, you won’t notice a difference in its resolution unless you study the book covers or read one with illustrations interspersed through it. This eReader possesses a 300PPI resolution, which is much higher than what other Kobo eReaders offer – such as the Nia, which sits at 212PPI. Sure, the book covers don’t pop out from the screen like they would in a bookshop, but realistically, you would have bought a physical book if that was important to you. The Clara 2E only offers a black and white colour display, which in the grand scheme of things, isn’t a dealbreaker. As a neat FYI, the case itself is also made from recycled materials. While the Clara 2E is only available in black, you can grab a protective case in sea glass green, coral reef orange and black if you want to add a burst of colour. I can definitely get behind an eReader with a sustainable agenda. Here’s what we thought about Kobo’s newly released eReader.Īs touched on earlier, this is the first Kobo eReader that’s made from recycled plastics and, wow, it truly doesn’t look or feel any different (in a good way). Some features remain unchanged such as its file format compatibility, as well as its light and font customisation options. The Clara 2E also improves on the former Clara HD with a next-generation processor, double the internal storage capacity, audiobook functionality and Bluetooth connectivity. This is great news for those of you who love a steamy read in the tub, since you’ll no longer have to break out the rice every time you drop your eReader in the water. The new Clara 2E is now fully waterproof, with an IPX8 rating, which allows it to survive in water that’s two metres deep for up to 60 minutes. In a series of firsts, that’s not the only thing that Kobo’s changed since updating its predecessor, the Kobo Clara HD. Kobo’s move is a cheeky and loud one-up to Amazon’s Kindle Paperwhite, which currently sports a 60% recycled body. While the chassis of this new eReader is made from 85% recycled plastics, 10% of materials are taken from ocean-bound plastics such as water bottles and CDs. Kobo has found a way to make reading eBooks more eco-conscious by introducing the Kobo Clara 2E, its first-ever eReader made from recycled materials.
