Q: is Clara BW compatible with non-Kobo digital books?

submitted by nopalita - 2 years ago
  • A: Yes! You can side load books. There are tons of videos with step by step instructions on how to do so :)

    submitted byDeeders - 1 year ago
  • A: Yes! I have several Kobo readers (Clara BW my most recent). On a computer or laptop, any ebook you download from the internet in mobi, pdf or epub formats can be copied to it using the charge cable.

    submitted byEltonNoway - 1 year ago
  • A: No. You can only read ebooks in your Kobo library. This is a dedicated ereader, not a tablet.

    submitted byDee - 2 years ago
  • A: Hello Nopalita! Thank you for your question. Kobo Clara BW works mainly with Kobo's environment, you can get books from their library and there are some accepted formats like EPUB and PDF, although there may be restrictions if they are protected files. Thanks! BlueProton CS

Q: This would be my first e-reader. Is this much different than reading on an iPhone? A 6" screen seems about the same size.

submitted by Jen - 5 months ago
  • A: Hello Jen! Thank you for your question. Yes, reading on a Kobo Clara BW is quite different from reading on an iPhone. The e-reader uses an E Ink screen, which looks more like real paper and is easier on your eyes with less glare and no blue light. It also lasts weeks on a charge instead of hours, and you can read comfortably outdoors in bright sunlight. The 6″ size feels similar in hand, but the experience is much more comfortable for long reading sessions. Have a great day! BlueProton CS

  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Kobo Clara BW - 6" 16GB eReader - Glare-Free Touchscreen with ComfortLight PRO - Dark Mode Option - Audiobooks - Waterproof (Black) It might seem like a 6" screen would feel just like your phone, but the Kobo Clara BW is a completely different world for your eyes. As a first-time e-reader user, the "paper-like" screen is usually the biggest shock. An iPhone screen is basically a light bulb shining directly into your eyes. This causes "digital eye strain" because your eyes have to work harder to focus against that light. The Kobo Clara BW uses E Ink Carta 1300, which reflects light like real paper. Unless you turn on the light yourself, the screen produces zero light of its own. You can read this in direct sunlight without any glare at all! While the size may say 6", the aspect ratio (Shape) is much wider than on an iPhone, much like more like a physical page. This allows for more words per line, which actually makes you read faster because your eyes don't have to "jump" to the next line as often. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Can you listen to audio books

submitted by bali40 - 5 months ago
  • A: Hello! Thank you for your question! Yes, Kobo Clara BW can play audiobooks you buy from the Kobo Store or through Kobo Plus, but it doesn’t have built-in speakers or a headphone jack. To listen, you must pair Bluetooth headphones or a Bluetooth speaker with the eReader. Only Kobo audiobooks (not all third-party/OverDrive ones) will play on the device. Thanks! BlueProton CS

  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Kobo Clara BW - 6" 16GB eReader - Glare-Free Touchscreen with ComfortLight PRO - Dark Mode Option - Audiobooks - Waterproof (Black) Yes, you can listen to audiobooks on the Kobo Clara BW, but there are a few requirements: 1. Bluetooth is Required - The Kobo Clara BW does not have built-in speakers or a headphone jack. To listen to audiobooks, you must pair Bluetooth headphones or a Bluetooth speaker with the device. 2. Kobo Store Audiobooks Only- Official support is limited to audiobooks purchased directly from the Kobo Store or accessed through a Kobo Plus subscription. 3. Storage Capacity - With 16GB of storage keep in mind that audio files are much larger than eBooks, so if you plan to keep a massive library of audiobooks, you may need to manage your space more frequently. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Can you access international Kobo stores (like Portugal) ebooks with this eReader?

submitted by Chris - 6 months ago
  • A: Hello Chris! The device itself isn’t locked to one country - it’s your Kobo account store region that determines what you can buy. You can access and buy eBooks from other country Kobo store as long as your Kobo account is set to that region. Thanks! BlueProton CS

    Kobo only allows one library card to be logged in at a time. It also does not support all library books. The very first one I checkout out never synced on to the device. What a waste.

    omg I love this thing. Books show up easily through Libby/overdrive and the screen is flawless. It's super light weight and comfortable to hold. It's so easy to carry I often get pages in while taking a walk or waiting in the car for the kids to be let out.

    Lovely device

    This is a fantastic e-reader with a lot of features not present in the Kindle. I love that I can access books directly from my library. The reason I chose this over the Libra Color is because I learned that the touch screen controls on the Clara are adjustable, which makes the device left-handed friendly. I also appreciate the portable size. The software is built well for reading, it gives nice reading stats, and works well with side-loading books. It’s also very fast, which I was surprised by with an eink screen. I’m very happy with this purchase.

    Quality Control is Unreliable, Customer Service won't do anything

    Item came with a cosmetic defect on the center left of the screen. Target, BlueProton, and Kobo have all been unhelpful to resolve this issue other than to return it and order a new one. Not only is this wasteful but there’s no regard for time and the lack of quality control is disappointing. This device is bought purely for the e-ink screen. So a defect on the screen is an issue. Kobo tried to down play this by repeatedly calling it a “small issue.”

    LOVE IT!! Never going back to Kindle.

    I have been a longtime Kindle user and was wanting something to distance myself from Amazon as a company. Man, wish i gave Kobo a chance years ago. This thing is excellent! It's lightweight with a nice textured back. Very comfortable to hold. The display is crisp and the screen lighting looks great. I really appreciate that Kobo supports right to repair by having replacement parts available on iFixit. Once i got my favorite fonts loaded onto this thing i felt right at home.

    Best eReader purchase

    Very thrilled with this product! The size is perfect for me to hold with one hand. The battery lasts a week or two without needing a recharge. The screen is less glossy than Kindles and the touch interaction feels more natural. With this black & white version, you don't get a screen door effect. I love the integration with Overdrive so I can easily check-out library ebooks. Loading epubs from my computer is no hassle either.
