Review: Great value for money. Also, with a little computer know-how, can support larger storage - If you want an ereader that's cheap, good, and moddable, this is the one. There's a lot of software mods out there, but I find the default UI is totally fine. I don't want a device that can do everything, I want one that's comfortable and easy to use, and the vanilla UI is perfectly fine. However, if you like reading manga like I do, that 8gb of storage is gonna fill up fast. Luckily, the device is easy to open, and uses a regular SD card for storage. You just need to make an image of the drive it came with, flash it to a bigger SD card (I believe it has been tested to support up to 128gb), and use a tool to expand the storage partition of the card to fill the rest of the card. It uses a FAT32 filesystem, and the only one I could find that could do that for free was gparted. I used my linux laptop to do that, but I think there's a windows port and you could also always boot up a VM if needed. Just make sure you use a fast SD card. Don't cheap out on that. I've also had a few issues with managing books through Calibre even before doing the mod, but for the most part it's been easy to fix. One time I had an error where the database got borked, and had to factory reset it and reupload all my books. However I suspect that was a user error or something because I've had no issues like that since. The only problem I consistently have is that the metadata on new books are incorrect even if I manually update the metadata before ejecting, but the solution to that is just plugging it back in, updating metadata again, and then ejecting it. That always fixes it. I don't know why Kobo doesn't include a higher storage size by default, or even as an option. The mod is so easy and 8gb is really not enough for a system that supports cbr/cbz files.My only guess is that the extra storage space slows it down a bit when opening books, and it does- only a little bit, and only when opening a book- but that slowdown is probaby only present on big cards. My pick of 128gb is way overkill, but I wanted to be able to store everything on one device, including manga. OH yeah, one other little issue with big files- it can't load anything over 2gb. It appears in the filesystem when looking at the drive, but the device doesn't see it and it doesn't show up in Calibre. Luckily, for books that's a total non-issue, but for long comics like many popular manga, you'll have to split it up into multiple chunks. Personally, I wound up dividing long runs into multi-volume files, like "Jojolion Vol. 01-14" and Jojolion Vol. 15-27". Pretty easy workaround, and since cbz files are just zip files with a different extension, it's pretty easy to do. Overall, a great device, at a great price. The Android to Kindle's iPhone.
Review: A great alternative to the Kindle - The Kobo is sort of the Linux of e-readers to the Paperwhite's MS Windows. If you want an easy-to-use, robust store and having all your books in the desertcart cloud then the Paperwhite is for you. However if you don't want your e-readers confined to the desertcart eco-space and desire to be able to easily add many different formats the Clara HD is the easy choice. First of all, forget any sort of competent software from Rakuten/Kobo to install on your PC to transfer books. Seriously, you'll hate yourself if you manage to locate and install their app. Just do what everyone does and download the free Calibre software (google it). And pass them a few bucks while you're at it. Calibre provides the ability to organize your ebook library as well as transfer to your Clara. It's a wonderful program I've been using for years and is actively updated. The Kobo connects to Walmarts ebook store and its perfectly fine to use for easy purchases. I do feel that much of what is said about the touchscreen not being quite as sensitive as the Paperwhite is true. It just misses the occasional swipe which can be annoying. However the excellent backlighting and color variations makes up for it. Very comfortable to hold and lightweight. Battery is very good but not amazing. I'd give it a 4.5 if I could but I round up to 5 and I'm thankful that at least one manufacturer has the ability to keep desertcart on their toes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it easy to get nook books and amazon book on the kobo?  can  you briefly tell me the process?  thanks.**
A: Before place an order for a Kobo device is wise to ask through 'chat ' an Amazon associate to confirm the device ability to read Kindle e-books.

**Q: Can we read pdf on it?**
A: Yes it will support PDF's.  Not well as you have to zoom all around it but it will do in a pinch.   The Aura One (7.8" screen) works much better for that purpose.

**Q: Can you change font size?**
A: Yes. In fact the font size is far more customizable than the Kindle. There are sliders or size, line spacing, and margin width.

**Q: My son lives in new zealand and the library doesn't support kindle products for e books.  they recommended the kobo.  recommendations?**
A: I have kindle and kobo I like kobo better than kindle This is my third kobo I've  owned, better life on batteries. My kindle won't  stay charge.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Love This Reader! Works With Overdrive!
*by N***1 on August 22, 2019*

Several years ago I finally gave up on actual paper copies of books and went the Kindle Fire tablet route. Eventually upgraded to a competetor tablet and no longer used Kindle app but the Overdrive app from my local on-line digital library. I actually preferred this method as you borrow, return, browse, reserve, etc. all through the Overdrive app and do not have to add the extra step that the Kidle app required. The only issue I have experienced was when I wanted to read outside - or anywhere where direct sunlight, glare is a problem - which you know makes it virtually impossible to read on a tablet. They have so many great features, but outside reading isn't one of them. Was going on an extended trip where I would be outside a lot and wanted to be able to read. I first ordered a Kindle ereader. I did not realize that I could not "borrow" books directly from my library like I am able to do with Overdrive. My husband and I had a serious disagreement about this - says it isn't necessary, just download whatever books you want and put them on the reader -- return/borrow when you again have internet/tablet access. NO, NO, NO - this is not for me. If I am at the beach (wherever) finish and book and want to browse my library catalog, I want to do it now darnit - now have to wait. His kindle ereader what quite a few years old - so I said, "OK you love it so much, you can have this one. I will buy something that supports overdrive". Win-win for both of us. Checked overdrive to see what reader they recommended. After watching various youtube videos, reading reviews, I decided on the Kobo and I am glad I did. It works perfectly for an Overdrive gal like me. I have not had a particular situation where I could not read in any outside condition. Can easily browse library catalog anywhere I have internet access and can check on available books immediately from the Kobo without needing a computer or another device. Highly recommend this product for anyone who has my particular requirements. I will say the kindle ereader was very nice and looks almost exactly like the Kobo and was a LOT less expensive so if Overdrive isn't necessary for you, don't spend the extra on this ereader. Thanks.
