Actually I don’t have the Arc 7HD anymore, it got “bricked” because I missed an “Important” update (which put me off Kobo just a bit). It was nice little machine, sort of an eReader/Android Tablet hybrid type thing, but I do have, and am using an old Kobo Glo, which I found in a thrift shop a while back.

But I am intrigued by the Clara which seems to have a similar form factor to the Glo. Although the fact that it doesn’t have microSD removable storage, which the Glo (from almost 13 years ago) does, and only officially supports Kobo Audiobooks is not exactly a selling point, but if …

I haven’t put my Kobo Glo on WiFi since I heard the latest software update has “bricked” some Kobos and that it doesn’t look like they’ve actually fixed the problem with the software update yet.

By the way, does anyone know if it is safe to update the Kobo Glo yet?
