Kobo Clara BW praised for clear screen, long battery, library book borrowing, and non-Amazon ecosystem. Some report touchscreen and speed issues, but overall easy to use and lightweight.

Kobo Clara is great
I bought this to replace my old Kobo reader which I have retired at 15 years old. The Clara is identical in many respects but just ... better. Lighter weight, clearer screen, more display options and quicker to respond. Best of all, you actually own the ebooks you pay for so Kobo won't be snatching them back off you the way Amazon can, and do, on a Kindle.

So happy with my purchase!
Bought this kobo a couple months ago and I’m very pleased with my purchase. It’s so nice that it connects to your free library account! Definitely worth it!

Good product. Freedom of choice.
Bought as a gift for my daughter who is going travelling. Chose because it’s sand and waterproof. Also, most importantly, the KOBO platform will enable her to borrow library books wherever she is in the world and doesn’t tie her to Amazon - alwats a good shout!

Hello Annie.
After contacting our suppliers they have advised for the Kobo Clara BW 16GB Wi-Fi E-Reader - Black.
This depends on the eBook and where/how it was purchased or downloaded, due to something called Digital Rights Management.
If the eBooks were purchased through the Kobo Store and are linked to their Kobo account, simply logging into the same Kobo account on their new device and syncing will automatically download all their purchased eBooks to the new device.
For eBooks not purchased through Kobo, or for transferring files directly, they can connect their Kobo devices to a computer and copy DRM-free e-pub or pdf files from the old Kobo to the new Kobo.
If some eBooks have DRM protection, removing DRM is necessary to transfer files between different Kobo accounts or to another device.
Thank you for using Q&A.
