Rather Good

First off make sure you buy from Amazon direct to pay the correct price of 139.99 not the inflated price other sellers are offering.Well the colour works rather well though of course the majority of books will still have the same bw text.I actually like the 6 inch size as I find it is easier to hold in my hands rather than the bigger screens and as you can adjust font size then readability is not an issue.What really bugs me about the Kindle (though everything else works fine) is that when you want to expand the Wikipedia info you have to tap the screen. On every Kindle I have had this never works without frustration. Whereas on the Kobo it's just a light press and away you go.I also like the fact that it isn't restricted to the Amazon propriety Mobi or AZW but uses Epub or Kepub and is much better for PDF files than the Kindle.You can also borrow direct from your library with Overdrive which is pretty nifty.Listen Kindles are fine but its nice to have alternatives and Kobo should be congratulated on bringing out a colour model that works really well.

It's a great e-reader, if you keep in mind that the colour isn't its primary function

As the title says really: It's a great little e-reader with a colour function. The thing to keep in mind though is that the colour can only really be called 'a nice touch' To me, it's the same shade of colour and texture I used to see on cheap news print (kind of a washed out water colour on cheap paper) and as such has a certain charm left over from paper books. For visually pleasing book colours, illustrative diagrams, this is a great improvement. If however you're after for something to match a decent quality tablet/phone and those rich, vibrant colours, this is NOT for you, at least not if colour is important part.I was looking to buy a new e-reader and the colour version was out at the same time by coincidence so I'm really happy with this. However, I wouldn't recommend you go out and replace a reader you're already happy with solely on the basis of colour covers. In itself, I don't personally think it's a feature worth buying a whole device for. But, if you have the money and want a new toy... You could certainly do worse.

Best colour e-reader

Fantastic colour e-reader. Fast page turn, great clarity. Good value.

Lightweight but only in terms of "How much does it weigh"

Quick easy to set up and use. The display is clear and there is a novelty in that there is a colour versionwhich looks great. I have only downloaded some books from KOBO site so far but that is really simple. Unfortunately for me there is one downside - there are no games on it and I can't find a way to add any. If you don't use the games then you have a good e-reader. It is still a good e-reader without games but it was a little disappointing for me which is why I only gave 4 stars.

Compact and lightweight

I like the small size and can be carried inside a bag as it doesn't weigh much. The screen is quite small and hasn't got the clarity of a Kindle but the matt finish resists any reflections, and it works remarkably well in bright light. The colours are not rich like an oled screen but for reading, this isn't essential. It's unlikely you'll want to read in anything other than black and white. The colour is mostly used for book covers. It's easy to set up an account, so you can get reading within minutes.

Kobo Clara Colour Absolutely brilliant Ereader and terrific value for money

Delighted with the Kobo Clara colour, its packed with usefull features, warm light for night reading, colour of course, and water resistant. The reading experiance with a colour Ereader is very slightly different to a grey scale Ereader the Clara colour reminds me of reading a paperback book and is so cosy you can even add a little warm light to it to get the authenitic old paper feel for all your favorite classics rather than the clinically sharp grey scale readers I also own but for me the Kobo is a far better reading experiance. Book covers jump into life, graphic novels in colour are great. I would recommend anyone thinking of buying the Kobo Clara colour to go ahead and buy one, and curl with your favorite author.

Piece of garbage.

Many profanities would explain why I need to send a 3rd internet ereader back for a refund. I'm genuinely looking for something like a classic Kindle. I have never had trouble with a kindle device regardless of content. because I found I enjoyed Playbook, Kobo, and Kindle. But the devices which allow these are not capable of an literal physical functioning. The screens are not suitable or fit to read, both on a B/W meboox and on a colour Kobo. So tell me why an older non various system internet ebook can handle smooth transition, because those devices which do have more transition have brighter screens. Which is allowed because the corporations which make them aren't filling them with junk to use all of an inadequate battery up. So if the advert tells you fantastic revolutionary e'ink. It basically meant the device is so rammed with over exertion that the screen the battery the brightness can't handle it and as a result this freezes the whole device. So I'm afraid I have to return yet another ereader. I tell you when this £145 item arrives. And it's out the box. It's like a cheap Kinda Surprise toy. It really is an over priced piece of junk. But the Kobo app in itself is much appreciated. As with phone networks. The network and the retail shops selling the phones are NOT owned by the same corporation. And I think Kobo are being done..Had.... As we say in England. Next I'm going to try a Lenovo smart paper. Which I'm getting USED. not from Amazon because it's more than the one on another site. Even though I know I'm just paying for essentially a half penny stencilled on white LENOVO sticker on the device. Upping the price to £450 or there around. For something that STILL isn't what I'm looking for. I would love a kindle with other apps. But I know this isn't Amazon's plan. Unless we all suddenly want one if they suddenly manufacture them.
