The Paperwhite is $140 ($120 with ads). If you've seen it for $100.00, that was a sale.

Weren't people guessing that the Glo HD was dropped because it wasn't profitable (enough?)? Interesting that adding the Comfort Light Pro will make the Clara more profitable.
I still think the Glo HD was dropped due to profitability.

I think the Clara HD is an admission that Kobo can't put out a subpar device and expect to compete with the Paperwhite and the Glowlight 3. I would guess that they are hoping to make up for it by having major distribution in the US (something they didn't have when they dropped the Glo HD).
