Buy it from a local store if you can, so that you can take it back if it has any glitches. Mine has the bright band along the right edge but it's only visible when the brightness is turned up well beyond what I use. What is annoying is that the buttons on mine don't have a clean click but are sort of crunchy. They still work fine but it's annoying. Other than that I love it. I also got the leather case with the cover that folds into a stand which I also like.

Does it connect to WiFi and browse other sites? And what firmware version is it running and what calibre version? There have been various issues as calibre changed and the device changed. But, they should be working with recent versions of both. I'm not if I have tried with firmware version 4.15.x, but have definitely used it with no problems each of the previous few.

Hmmm, actually my Calibre version is pretty old now that I think of it, don't know why that didn't occur to me. I'll update it to the newest one tonight and see. Kobo version is whatever comes in the latest sync.

What happens? Does the WiFi show? Does it attempt to connect? Are there any error messages? What firmware version do you have? "Whatever comes in the latest sync" doesn't actually tell me what version you have. There are various reasons for it to be something other than 4.15.x. Does anything else have issues?

As long as we’re speculating about a new Kobo device, why not make it a friendly competition?
My money is on 6 inch Forma-shaped ereader. (just guessing, though) |

As guessing (and hoping) goes, I'd like to see a Kobo Aura Edition 3, at 300dpi and water resistant. That would compare to the new Kindle PaperWhite. On the hope list : A better dictionary. |

The Aura has a screen like a tablet, flush, like the new PaperWhite, contrary to the Clara.
Both Aura and Clara are not water resistant, unlike the PaperWhite. The Clara has a 300 dpi definition, not the Aura. So, your pick. |

The Aura One, Aura H2O and Aura H2O 2 are water resistant. Look, if they brought back the form factor of the Aura 2015 with a modern 300 ppi screen, color changing frontlight and made it waterproof, I'd buy it day one (as I mentioned in post #19). I'm just pointing out that Kobo seems to have moved on from the Aura name to Clara. |
