I'm thinking of getting a Clara BW because it seems small enough to fit in a pants pocket (although not by much).

All of my book are loaded from Calibre. Almost everything I read is only text, the main exceptions being the occasional art history book. I don't imagine the Clara Colour is going to be much help with art illustrations, given size and lack of vivid color. In any event, the main motivations for the Clara BW are size, compatibility with Calibre and a bit of configurability.

Any thoughts on this?
Not fitting in a packet is a very good reason for a larger screen.

I have an over the shoulder bag that I put my Libra 2 in when I want to take my Libra 2 with me. The Libra 2 with cover just fits. But when I bought the bag, I had my Libra 2 with me to make sure the Libra 2 fit. It's much better protected then a pocket. I've read many times of a Reader in a pocket being damaged. A number of people forget it's in the back pocket and sit on it.

Also, I don't always have a pocket that would fit a Clara BW. How would you cart a Kobo if you didn't have a large enough pocket?
