That is rather strange indeed. Clara HD is not waterproof and is not good at reading PDFs... unless you install non-Kobo things.

It will however support OverDrive (like all current/new devices) with the new firmware that is being rolled out at the moment (4.10.something). Perhaps there are PDF reading improvements in there as well??? No idea. In any case the reviews are very suspicious.

Edit: have you googled some of the text in the reviews to see if they were taken from another source? Directly from Kobo store maybe?
