I've read a bit on the Clara HD now. I didn't want to post a review or even full impressions just important things that might not have been said before.
* Before it arrived I thought that it might be thick, but it is actually about the same thickness as the Kindle Voyage.
* I thought that the bezel might be too narrow to grip properly. But the size and shape of the Clara HD matches the Aura Ed. 2 excepting the thickness and the rounded edges at the bottom. I've had no real problem holding this model, and the curved edges fit nicely in the palm of my hand.
* I've had problems with previous Kobo models and responsiveness. The Glo and the Aura HD were just a bit slow (moderately annoying). The Glo HD and the Aura H2O (both editions) would occasionally not register a press (only slightly annoying). The Aura Ed. 2 has an imprecise touch (very annoying). But the Clara HD is as fast and precise at turning pages, opening and closing options and menus as a Kindle.
* The contrast is noticeably better than the Aura Ed. 2 and the H2O Ed. 2.
* There is significantly less ghosting and uneven boldness of font prior to refreshing as compared to all previous Kobo models including the One. Again as good as a Kindle.
In my opinion this is the second best Kobo model, with the best being the Aura One. But I have never owned the original Aura.
