Regarding Kindles, I believe the only Kindle that is waterproof is the Oasis and it's at a much higher price point and you don't seem keen on Kindles anyway. I'd give the Clara a go, if I was you. It will no doubt be much faster than your current Aura. One thing that has been mentioned is the Clara screen has more of a blue tone so take note should that not be to your liking. There are more than a few videos on youtube that show the Clara screen well. |

Plus, I also remember when the Glo came out that there was a bit of discussion on the colour of it and the other front-lit readers. Some people wanted the "cooler" blue and others the "warmer" yellowish colour. The Clara HD is letting the user choose. |

Another thing to add that the other replies to your post haven't mentioned, is that the Clara HD does have a capacitive screen. This means that were you to go backpacking in cooler weather with gloves on, you won't be able to turn pages (unless you take your gloves off or have gloves with the special conductive fingertips). |

Some side-by-side photos with other Kobos at https://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/...k/1126964.html but... uneven lighting again. As you can see from the background.

Thanks all for your helpful responses! Is there any gossip about a 6" Kobo waterproofer coming out any time soon that I should hold out for?

That would be very useful to see, thanks. Or even better... do one side-by-side picture with the Clara on the left AND another with the Clara on the right so we can compensate for any lighting unevenness.

@hamers: There's no gossip about future models, but Kobo tends to have only one model at each screen size, so I'd wager that the Kobo Clara HD is THE six-inch Kobo for the next year at least, and probably two years.

It would be nice to see a photo of a Clara and an Aura side by side. I know you don't want something larger, but you might consider the H2O. It is larger than the Aura or Clara, but then it is waterproof. |

One side to side and, in the others, in the bottom which is wider (Aura) or longer (Clara). Last edited by Terisa de morgan; 06-13-2018 at 04:07 PM. |
