Found that info on a Clara 2E listing on a Dutch website ( wayback machine here for when it inevitably gets pulled ).
Google Translated descriptions reads: "Meet the Kobo Clara 2E: a more environmentally conscious eReader with significant improvements in a compact housing. The Kobo Clara 2E is our first eReader made with recycled plastic and ocean-bound plastic: plastic that was on its way to the ocean. Immerse yourself in your latest book with an enhanced 6" HD E Ink Carta 1200 dark mode touchscreen with ComfortLight PRO. Thanks to the built-in blue light reduction, you can read in the evening without compromising your night's sleep.

And with Bluetooth® wireless technology, you can enjoy Kobo audiobooks wirelessly anytime, anywhere. The Kobo Clara 2E is water resistant so you don't have to worry about a few drops of water and can read carefree in the bath or at the beach. Make a better choice and choose the Kobo Clara 2E; a more environmentally conscious eReader."
If the picture on this site is accurate it looks physically extremely similar to the current Clara (but this may be a placeholder image). |
i'd be surprised if it isn't waterproof. it seems to be pretty much a Kobo requirement these days.
