Why you should get yourself a Kobo!

I love reading and i know sometimes buying physcial book can be quite expensive and carrying it around is very bulky and heavy as well so I love a good compact e reader for me to read on the go!

I was introduced to Kobo because I saw a friend using it and I love it ever since! I will share some pros & cons of using it!

I bought the Kobo Clara HD at shopee for $198

However I think the model that I bought is not on shopee anymore but there is Kobo Clara 2E which is similar!

Pros:

It's really lightweight and I love that it has such a long battery life!! I also love its brightness settings which makes it easy to read at night thanks to its ComfortLight PRO feature. This lets you adjust the screen’s brightness and hue, which means you can customise the warmth anywhere from light blue to orange. It can also be set to automatically go into “night mode” after a certain time.

The Clara HD features a 6in touchscreen with a 300ppi resolution, thanks to Carta e-ink. Carta e-ink is a type of e-ink that allows high resolution text and reduces the need to refresh the page. This ensures the text remains crisp and clear while not draining battery life. Kobo also has an 8GB of internal storage, which should allows you to stow away 6000 books.

It also comes with a built-in dictionary, so you can look up words you don’t know by holding your finger on the word. You can also highlight and annotate any line that stands out to you.

But what i love most about kobo clara is that you can borrow books from overdrive which is so convenient because you don’t have to purchase books like from amazon if you are using kindle paperwhite! You can also transfer your books from your Mac to your e-reader! It’s also really easy to set up!

Cons:

However the cons of the Kobo Clara is that sometimes it’s not responsive in terms of highlighting words or phrases and it might take a few try for you to highlight certain phrases which can be quite annoying! It’s also not waterproof!

However I think the pros of this e reader outweighs the cons so I would still recommend getting it!
