With ComfortLight PRO, you can adjust the brightness and filter blue light to make reading easier on your eyes.
You can safely read your favorite books next to the pool on this water-resistant e-reader.
You can listen to audiobooks with wireless earbuds.
The Kobo Clara doesn't have a color screen, so images and notes don't come to life as much.

Description

The Kobo Clara 2E is produced more sustainably than other e-readers. The casing is made from recycled plastic. The 6-inch e-reader is compact and lightweight. This makes it easy to bring with you everywhere. Download tens of thousands e-books with the 16GB storage. You can easily connect wireless headphones if you're not in the mood to read. This allows you to comfortably listen to audiobooks. Thanks to the backlight, you can also read in darker surroundings. The ComfortLight PRO with blue light filter makes the light softer on your eyes and makes it easier to fall asleep.

Our expert review

A compact and lightweight e-reader for on the go.

Compact and lightweight
Nice screen for your eyes
Take thousands of books on the road
No physical buttons

The Kobo Clara 2E is a compact and lightweight e-reader. I can easily hold it with one hand. I like to read on public transport on my way to work. This e-reader is certainly suitable for that.

Small and light The e-reader has a 6 inch screen. This makes it very handy and light. I put the e-reader in my bag, without it taking up much space. This works especially well for me when I read on the bus and train. Much more convenient than carrying around a thick paper book. In addition, I am not worried about insufficient reading material. I store thousands of books on the memory. So I always take it with me on the road.

SleepCover I use the Kobo SleepCover to protect the e-reader against damage. Thanks to the built-in stand, I also put it upright. This is how I eat my breakfast and in the meantime I read a biography. A note: when I read at home I would find a larger screen more comfortable.

Read and listen The e-reader has useful functions that are pleasant to my eyes. ComfortLight Pro gives the screen a warmer hue when it gets dark. As a result, it emits less blue light. I fall asleep quickly at night after reading in bed. I also like the dark screen mode. Then the background of the screen is black and the letters are white. This ensures a peaceful reading experience. What I do miss with this e-reader are physical buttons. Now I flip through a book by tapping the screen. This works less pleasantly than buttons in the housing of the e-reader. Another nice feature is that I also listen to audiobooks. I connect headphones via bluetooth and listen to my favorite books hands-free.

Download books I easily transfer books that I already own to my e-reader via the supplied cable. But when I buy a new book in Kobo's online library, I put it on my e-reader with 1 push of a button via WiFi. I find this very useful, especially if I take out a Kobo Plus subscription. I then download unlimited books from the library for a fixed monthly price. A must for the real bookworm!

Nice little e-reader

Nice and compact
Nice system
Easily place books via USB

I actually liked my Kobo Aura Edition 2 from 2016, but my girlfriend used it more and more. That's why I bought this one now and it's a nice successor. Entering the WiFi code is a bit of a hassle, but oh well. Then log in with Bol.com account and all books are neatly on it. Also 'uploading' via the USB-C cable is fine without extra software or hassle.

Review is 9,6 out of 10.

Nice quality, nice to use.

Good quality
Long battery life
Easy to use
Just a little too small

After a few weeks of intensive use of this e-reader, the battery is still not empty. You can easily read, although you have to click through to the next page relatively often. This is because this e-reader is just a bit too small. You can download many books on it
