Kobo Clara now $90 at Walmart
Better late than never, I guess...
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Kobo-Clar...bled/848940265 And Walmart insists on saying the List Price for the Clara is $168.99? Where do they get that? At any rate, Claras are $90 at Walmart (sold and shipped by Walmart) and they're currently showing two day delivery. |

Is the light-leak issue still an ongoing concern?

I don't believe so. Mine sure doesn't have it and I haven't heard people complain about it in quite a while. I believe it was just the early batch of Claras. Perhaps corners were cut to get it out the door quickly? (The issue was caused by not enough tape securing the screen in place, letting light leak around the sides that were missing the tape.

Thank you.
Should I get one or get the new ereader that's coming out? |

Given my current tracking info, it looks like it might have been faster to wait and get it from Walmart. Haha. It’d probably still arrive faster if I bought it today, and I bought mine on day one of the sale. Oh well.

I've got a feeling this partnership didn't work out the way they thought it would. Though I'm happy that Kobos can be picked up locally and that shipping is sometimes two days for them. |

I'm guessing the Nia will look like one of these... https://mytolino.com/tolino-page-2/page-2-ebook-reader/ Slightly bigger and thicker and heavier than the Clara, a lower resolution screen (212 ppi), five LEDs instead of 13, no Comfort Light Pro and a lesser battery. I'm guessing it's normal price will be $90 or $100 with sales at $60 or $70. Last edited by rcentros; 05-08-2020 at 07:41 PM. |

I ordered mine from kobo.com and it looks like it's coming from Canada. I thought they had a US shipping arm? Mine is due on Weds. I think they charged an international fee as well.

Mine also says Wed on the UPS tracking. What international fee are you talking about? I don't see anything on mine.

There's a mysterious .76 international fee coming out of the account. It says "CARD FEE SVC CHG INTRNTL TR AN" I don't know what else it could be.
