    I bought my Clara HD about a year ago so I am not ready to spend money on a new one. But it's good to know that my upgrade path will be there.
    I've had to factory-reset my tablet twice; I hope the newer models will be more reliable.

    The screens are not the same size. The Clara has a 6" screen and the Paperwhite as a 6.8" screen, like the Libra 2. And I agree about the smaller size. I love how small my Clara is.

      @@morningcoach It's nice to be eco friendly. But what about the battery? I had a Kobo Clara and I had to throw it away! The battery was a huge problem! It didn't last that long even when I didn't use it. At the end, one day the screen got frozen and it was impossible to restart it. All at all, I kept the Kobo for around one year. And the worst is that it wasn't my main e-reader, as I use an old (already six year old) Kindle Whitepaper which until now runs smoothly. Never problem with the device, while with the Kobo, it was really a nightmare

    • @bitteralmonds666
      @bitteralmonds666 Před rokem +4

      It depends what you mean by "accept my existing library of books." If the e-books were bought from Rakuten Kobo, then you should be able to register the new device and download them again at no cost. If you mean switching platforms altogether (e.g., you're coming from a Kindle device), then you will either have to try to convert them using a program like Calibre or... repurchase them. Nook Books cannot be converted at all, so in that instance you would have to buy them again on other platforms.

    • @jseger9000
      @jseger9000 Před rokem +1

      The current Kindle Paperwhite has a faster processor. It should be zippier than any of the previous Paperwhites and faster than the Libra 2 or Clara 2. But having said that, no e-ink device is going to be as fast as a tablet. They just aren't that way.

    I'd love for it to have a dark mode. With a grey-ish darker background as opposed to white. White really hurts my eyes if I look at it for too long which is unfortunate. Based off of your hands on test I couldn't use this or I'd probably order it on release :(

    I really don't like the texture of the material on the Kobo Clara 2E unfortunately. It is also not as responsive compared to my Kindle (such as highlighting). Because of these reasons, I will prob stick with my Paperwhite. The screen on the Kobo was very nice though, much sharper than my Kindle.

      The Nook also has a larger frame bezel, which makes the accidental touching of the screen less possible. This happens more often with the Paperwhite 5.
