Is it a price drop or a sale? Just wondering how long it will last if its a sale.

Thanks so much for this post! I had purchased the Kobo clara hd yesterday on Walmart.com for $129.99. When I saw your post I contacted customer service and got a price adjustment.

I never would have checked for a price drop today. Thanks Again

Any one that ordered the Clara HD WITHIN the Past 30 Days Can get the Difference Refund.

It's interesting--the Wal-Mart customer ratings for the Clara, Aura H20, and Aura One all hover around the 4.5-star level. That can't be due to features, because each model up has more and/or better of those. Why do you suppose that there is so little difference in ratings, but so much in features and price?

This is not an academic exercise. I am considering purchasing a decent ereader. However, I am a bargain-Hunter, also, and want to get the "biggest bang for the buck."

Do your home work Find out what the Differences Are between them.

Walmart has four of the five Kobos in stock. (Now missing the Aura – maybe they sold them out at $50?) The Clara is still on sale $110, the H2O – on sale – is still $160. The Kobo Aura ONE is $230 but there's a discount if you pick it up at the store. And the Forma is now $270 instead of $280 (but there's no longer a pickup discount, so it's probably actually more expensive now, unless you're having shipped directly to your home). What's funny is that they don't claim this is a sale price, it appears this is new "regular" price for the Forma.

If you go to – https://www.walmart.com/kobo – you don't see Kobo Aura ONE, you have to do a search in the regular Walmart search area.

Clara link ($110).

H2O link ($160 NOW BACK TO $180 but with "pickup discount" again).

It could be that rather than comparing the Clara to the One or H20, they are comparing them to other similar readers. So I would rate the Clara higher than the Paperwhite 3 for instance.

Also, not everyone wants a larger screen. Having the same features on a larger device does not mage the larger device better.

When they introduce a Clara that is waterproof (I'm guessing it'll be their next 6" I would prefer that over the H2O and if I were writing a review, I would rate accordingly.

Walmart has reduced the Clara HD to $99.90.

Very tempting... very tempting...

Maybe Walmart IS serious about competing with Amazon.
