It can be a little bit of a pain, and there’s no handy “Send To Kindle” type feature that allows you to email documents directly to the ebook reader. Buying e-books directly from the Kobo Store on the ebook reader is the easiest way to get your next read, but adding titles from third parties requires you to side-load the book into the Kobo Clara HD. In addition to an ebook reader store boasting more than five million titles, the Kobo Clara HD supports more than a dozen different formats including EPUB, MOBI, PDF, TXT, HTML, RTF, and more. We’d have liked it to be a simpler process here. Yes, you can manually add Overdrive titles to the Clara HD, but it’s an involved process requiring you to connect your ebook reader to your computer each time you want to check out a book.

It’s a feature first introduced on the Kobo Aura One that allows you to download library books directly to your ebook reader for a short period of time, but it’s nowhere to to be found on the Clara HD. It’s a simple yet handy feature that offers a lot of insight into your overall reading habits.īut there is one glaring omission on the Clara HD, and it’s Overdrive integration. The Clara HD also has an Activity mode that lets you track reading time, average minutes per session, and number of books read. It has 8GB of storage capacity, double what you’ll find on the Kindle Paperwhite or similarly priced Kobo Aura. You’ll find a similar feature on Kindle with Instapaper, but to use it you’ll need to pay $20 a year on the Kindle. Tap it, and here you can access articles and websites sent from Pocket on your laptop or computer’s browser.
In addition to all the basic features you’d expect on an ebook reader, the Kobo Clara HD also has Pocket integration, and the icon can be found on the bottom of the home screen. The bar at the top provides features a drop-down menu to quickly access the ebook reader’s features as well as a battery life indicator, search bar, sync icon, and brightness control.
There’s also an e-book store alongside a list of recommended books. When you turn the device on, there’s a homepage that shows the current book you’re reading, as well as a library of all the titles you own.

If you’ve ever used an ebook reader before, the Clara HD’s software experience will be familiar. It’s double what you’ll find on the Kindle Paperwhite or the similarly-priced Kobo Aura, and it should allow you to store around 6,000 books on it. What does stand out however, is the Clara HD’s 8GB storage capacity. Books load quickly and page transitions are seamless. It’s powered by a 1GHz processor along with 512MB of RAM. The Clara HD’s internals are unremarkable, but we haven’t run into problems after quite some use. The screen gets more orange, but it’s certainly more helpful for your health as blue light from screens can hinder your sleep. It’s essentially a blue-light filter that works automatically by tracking the time and your timezone, and it then reduces the amount of blue-light exposure at night.

The ebook reader uses the same ComfortLight Pro technology found in other Kobo ebook readers. The 300 DPI E Ink screen produces crisp text and sharp images. It’s also easy to highlight, annotate, and share passages via Facebook. You can also tweak font weight and sharpness settings. There are also a number of customization features, like the ability to choose from 11 different fonts along with 40 font size options. It’s perfectly readable outdoors in direct sunlight.

The Clara HD does an excellent job of automatically managing brightness throughout the day, but there’s also a brightness slider that lets you to make manual changes to suit your personal preferences. And since the Clara HD refreshes the screen at the end of each chapter, we didn’t notice any significant ghosting on the display. Page transitions - which can be painfully slow on older ebook readers - are nearly instantaneous.
Once we started our first book, The Female Persuasion, on the Kobo Clara HD, we were hooked. We’ve only seen water resistance in a handful of expensive ebook readers, so we’re not surprised to see it absent here, but considering Kobo beat Amazon to the punch before, it’d be nice to see the company do it again with one of its most affordable ebook readers. There is one feature missing that would make the Kobo Clara HD the perfect budget ebook reader - water resistance. Fitbit Versa 3Īt a little under 6 ounces, about the weight of an iPhone 8 Plus, it’s the lightest ebook reader we’ve used.
