FYI - I have tried 3 different color ereaders (kobo Clara, kindle colorsoft, and boox) and at this point in the color eink technology, the darker screen is the standard. Just food for thought in case you were thinking it is a kobo specific issue 🫶

You can't compare a BW screen with color screen. Everyone knows that e-ink color screens have worse contrast and detail than BW screens. The Kobo Clara BW has the latest and best BW screen, it's even better than that Kindle.

I started my Kobo journey with a Clara BW last year and bought a KLC this year. The plan was to use the Clara for travel because of its smaller size and the KLC at home.

as an amazon hater and library lover ,,, i didn't want kindle and i wanted something easily compatible with overdrive/libby ! and i LOVE my kobo clara color !!

The issue with the BW vs color screens is so interesting to me. It's so subjective. After a period of adjustment I had no issue with my Kobo color devices outdoors. It did take some getting used to in that it was different. A year in, I can say that I now prefer the color screens to my BW Clara. Pro

I've been happy with the Kobo Libra and Calibre. That model is no longer available; it was replaced by the color verison. If you don't need the side buttons and don't want color, the Kobo Clara would be a good choice.
