I have quite a number of Kindles, Kobos, and Fire tablets, so I certainly didn't need another one. But, as I'm sure many people on here can understand, I just had to get a colour Kobo! I debated between the Clara and the Libra, and ended up getting the Clara, mainly due to the lower price ($179 Cdn). I had pretty low expectations for the colour screen after reading some of the reviews and comments, and given the relatively low price. I received my Clara yesterday, and I must say, I was blown away by how good it is! I think the colour display looks fantastic, and black and white text looks really good as well. I had no trouble reading it outside. Being able to see the book covers and highlights in colour is really a game changer; the difference is night and day. The 4 highlight colours are really quite pleasing, and thankfully don't include the ubiquitous yellow.
I am glad I got the Clara over the Libra. I love the smaller size, and the minimalist design. I didn't like the texture on the back and lower part of the front at first, but now I really like it.
Overall, I love my new Clara colour. Great job, Kobo!
