It’s a little fiddly, but it’s totally possible to import titles you already paid for on Google Play Books onto the Kobo using Adobe Digital Editions, with a total of 15 different file formats supported natively such as EPUB, PDF, CBR and more. Yes, you can use the Kobo store to buy and read books, but what I found really helpful was that you can also sideload and import your own eBooks. Perhaps the biggest positive the Kobo Clara 2E has going for it though is that you can read more than just the titles you buy off its store. The textured surface on the back also helps to grip the eReader better, while the small frame allows it to fit in my bag easily and then pop it out for a quick read with no trouble as well. Plus, there’s an activity tracker that lets you see how many pages and for how long you’ve read for the books you have. It’s snappy to the touch too, with no noticeable stutters or lag. Reading with it was a breeze too thanks to the reasonably sized screen with a solid 300ppi pixel density that makes it easy to read, and as the Kobo Clara 2E isn’t too big in size, it can be held and used very easily with just one hand. There’s also plenty of customisable settings, ranging from screen brightness, font size and type, a night mode-like setting that lets you tweak the temperature of the screen to reduce blue light and a settings page that’s easy to access and fairly self-explanatory. Even just booting it up, you’re met with a very clean user interface, making it very easy to get the hang of using the device. Overall, having used it for a bit, I actually had quite a lot of fun with the Kobo Clara 2E. This means that it is waterproof for up to an hour in up to two meters of water, allowing you to use it in the bath tub, jacuzzi or anything of that sort. This is part of Kobo’s goal to divert over 200,000 plastic bottles from the sea, and over a million used CDs and DVDs from landfills.Īnother cool feature of the Kobo Clara 2E is that it has an IPX8 water resistant rating. The device’s outer shell is built with over 85% recycled plastic, including 10% out of ocean bound plastic. The Kobo Clara 2E certainly doesn’t look sleek or flashy, with its thick bezels and textured back panel, but looks doesn’t seem to be the main goal anyway. The most notable part about the Kobo Clara 2E though is its claim that it’s a ‘more eco-conscious’ way to read. The Kobo Clara 2E weighs just 171g and measures 8.66mm thick. It also has support for WiFi 5 and Bluetooth connectivity, while you’ll find a USB-C port for charging too. You’re greeted with a 6-inch, 1448 x 1072p E Ink Carta 1200 touchscreen display pushing a 300ppi pixel density, while under the hood is an unspecified 1GHz processor with a total of 16GB of storage, good for over 12,000 eBooks. ![]()
