Kobo Nia, Clara HD or Pocketbook Touch Lux 5
It's time for a new ereader. My current one is Kobo Touch n905b. It's still working but 800 x 600 is a bit meh.
I'm thinking of a Kobo Nia, Clara HD or Pocketbook Touch Lux 5. Nia is a bit less then €100, Clara and Touch are about €120 Is it worth the money to go for Clara or Touch or just go for the Nia. I'm not a hardcore reader. Thx in advance for some advice |

Nia is just Comfortlight (not pro) and hence lacks warm light (it is a kind of Glo HD with decreased dpi). 20 euros is not a big issue to have better reading experience ... You can however order both and test them and keep the one you prefer and return the other. |

With the Shine3 you can easily use the Android 4.4.2, which is the basis, and the software is also suitable for German Onleihe CARE DRM.

I'm not familiar with Pocketbook devices, but based on the specs and price, I'd recommend the Clara over the Touch. The Clara has 300 ppi. The Touch has the same 212 ppi screen that the Nia has, but has a price that matches the Clara. Seems too expensive, to me. I do like the ruby red one though. |

Thanks every one.
Tolino is sold in the netherlands at Libris bookstores, but they have only the Page 2 and Vision 5 on their site. So just ordered the Clara, no cover, the slide in cover of my Touch will probably fit. If not I order new cover. |
