BUT I bought my wife a 10" fire tablet with ads to replace a wonderful 8" Lenovo that she treated badly, and it drives me insane when I see it. Those ads are 10 inches of color and bad art (So Far, games aimed at 11 year old boys). She claims it doesn't bother her, she just ignores them, but I hate them, just hate them. |

I like it, I think I will get it after Christmas after reading some reviews.
Still no word on CPU/RAM? Faster indexing but seemless page transition would be most satisfactory with long-term reading. |

I know, I know. A self selective example. But if next cycle Kobo has a 6" reader with waterproofing, color changing light and direct access to Overdrive and Amazon introduces a new Paperwhite with only slightly tuned-up internals, they are going to take a beating in all the reviews. |

If Kobo and Walmart could get their act together, actually get the Clara in stock and promote it, they could really have something. Of course, if wishes were horses... |

Where is that documented? Unless waterproofing added significant weight the PW4 seems a bit heavy for plastic substrate. Last edited by j.p.s; 10-22-2018 at 03:37 PM. Reason: typo |

If it is true, I wonder why amazon isn't touting the increased robustness. Maybe they are afraid people will sit on it, then complain when it breaks. |

Would you trust a small kid with anything more expensive? Think about the children, not just adults. And also children do not need a reader with built in light to read when they are supposed to be sleeping.

Personally the ads don't bother me that much. We'll see what happens when Walmart adds Kobo to their floorplan (supposedly by next April). But I agree, the Clara seems to be the right one to promote at Walmart — but, at this point, they don't even have them in stock online. So it might be that the stock is just not there yet. |
