Glad you like your Clara. It does seem like a nice reader and Kobo's software is better than Nook's by a country mile.

Does your Clara show any of the light bleed issues others have reported? I'd like to get the device, but this issue reminds me of the issues on the Aura One. It just feels like Kobo isn't quite there when it comes to quality control.

Having them for sale at US Walmarts will make me more comfortable, as I can easily return one with a 'bad' screen.

I have a problem on my Kobo Aura where that progress bar just hangs at some random percent. It does this every time I sideload books, whether I load one or many. Waking the device up tends to show that though the screen didn't show it, the device did finish importing the books.

I haven't bothered investigating, because it's a pretty minor quirk. Small enough that I don't feel like updating/patching the O/S to resolve it.

I applauded NOOK’s decision to remove the memory partition on the Glowlight 3, but its software really cripples it as a device for holding an extensive side-loaded library. The Clara is going to hold all my books without the headaches and with plenty of memory to spare.
Yeah, it's a real shame how buggy this iteration of the Nook software is. Especially when, all things considered, it could well be the last official release of any Nook software.
