We don't have an official price. In fact, we don't officially know the Clara HD exists. Kobo haven't made an official announcement yet. All this discussion is based on leaks: the FCC documents, an ad posted when it shouldn't have been and a shop details page made available when it shouldn't have been. While that info is pretty good and clear, when Kobo do make the announcement, everything might change.

The price claim I have seen is $129 USD or 129 Euros. The US Kobo shop has the Aura Edition 2 at $119.99. If these price for the Clara HD is correct, I think the extra $10 is worth it (higher resolution screen, double the storage, better light, updated CPU*). But, if the Clara HD is more expensive, or you paid less for the Aura Edition 2, the difference might not be worth it.


* Kobo updated the hardware in the Aura Edition 2 recently without any announcements. The main difference is a new CPU. The same CPU will be used in the Clara HD. I assume the new CPU will be faster or more efficient, but I don't know. Some details of the change are here.
