Is that based upon the "Revised Calendar" put out by GoodEReader that lists Mother's Day 3 times in one calendar year?

I gave up waiting for a sale and just ordered one full price a couple of weeks ago. I wish it were waterproof, but otherwise it is a terrific reader.

It may be where I live, but I ordered from Walmart on a Wednesday and it was at my door on Thursday, with no special rush shipping requested.

The thing is I still have my Kobo Glo HD, but the text on the bottom 1/3 of the screen is lighter than the top 2/3. It's still quite readable, but that issue bothers me. I love the way it 'holds' in my hand (without a case) when reading.

I also have Kindle Voyage that works great, and I have my larger Kobo Aura One that is wonderful when I want to read on a larger screen.

So...that's why I'm thinking of another 6 inch Reader.

I liked the way the Clara felt out of a case. The back isn't as neat looking as my Aura. In fact, it's kind of ugly to me. But it felt nice in the hand for those few hours before I slapped it in a bland case.

That's good to know that it feels good in the hand when reading.

I'll probably buy one within the next few months.

Hello! New user here!

Settled on the Clara HD after trying the H20 for a week. LOVE IT!!!!

Anyhow, on topic. Kobo Canada currently has the Clara on sale for $120 CAD, which is approximately $90 USD. Odd that Kobo US still has it for $130 USD.

Have a great day!!

yeah, as a Yank you can save $$$ by ordering from Canada. But based on the Clara's problems when it was first released, I ordered from a US retailer so I could more easily exchange it.

The Clara is wonderful. No sign of lightbleed. But the extra $40 could be seen as insurance against the hassle of international shipping and dealing with Kobo customer service.

ZodWallop I had to Return the Kobo Clara HD recently. Walmart refused to take it back since it been Over 15 days. Kobo sent me the Shipping Label & everything was done & I had my New one within a Week! No Problems with Customer Service or Shipping!

BTW Dr Drib lives in San Borja (Lima), Peru .... 1 Are there even Walmarts in Peru? 2 Do they even sell the Kobo? I thought that was for the USA Walmarts only.

Guessing this means Yes ... https://laplazaperu.wordpress.com/20...ta-en-el-peru/

No Walmarts, unfortunately.

What I usually do is have my sister ship something to me, or I wait until I go back there, usually during Christmas or a vacation.
