Here's a pic of the back. (The front is the same black bezel a regular Aura has.)

If Kobo makes the Clara look like something that appeals to the Walmart shopper (Not prosumers like this group) at a sub $100 price, they could make headway against the other eReaders.
I like the turquoise one—often called sea foam by other designers. That's a bit twee, but red, orange, and light grey are solid color names. Anthracite made me laugh. It's just a fancy way of saying charcoal gray.

Yeah, I think if they could have marketed those in Walmart for $80-100 they would have had something.
