It's also not waterproof - for that, consider the Kobo Aura H2O. I think that my Oasis is far more premium device than my Kobo. As far as I can see, the design of libra 2 is very similar to H2O. The Kindle Paperwhite, meanwhile, comes in at 6.7 by 4.6 by 0.4. I have the libra H2O - NOT the 2 - and the Oasis. It may be comfortable to hold, but the effect on the back doesn’t look great compared to many other ereaders - including Kobo’s own range - so don’t expect this to be the best looking device on the market from the rear. The closest equivalent is Kobo's Aura H2O, an older waterproof reader that measures 7.0 by 5.1 by 0.4 inches and weighs 8.2 ounces. The Kindle Paperwhite 3 was released two years ago now, but it’s still the most popular Kindle and is the most comparable to the Aura H2O. It sort of feels perforated, but it's made of solid plastic rather than a pliable material that feels soft to the touch. Here’s a quick comparison review between the Kindle Paperwhite 3 and the Kobo Aura H2O Edition 2, the latest new waterproof ebook reader from Kobo. We don’t fully know how to explain it, but there are lots of little dots that looks similar to the pointillism style of artwork. It’s made of plastic, so doesn’t feel as premium as the latest version of the Kindle Oasis, but it’s easy to grip, with the rear of the device having an odd effect that helps your fingertips hold on. It managed to fit in the back pocket of men's jeans, and it's easy to slot this into your bag ready for your commute.īasically, it's a lot easier to pick up, carry and read the Kobo Clara HD than it is most of George R R Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series in paperback. All of Amazon’s range sports a 6-inch display, but if you want something a little larger there’s always the Kobo Aura One, which comes with a 7.8-inch display instead.ĭespite the 6-inch screen, this is still a very compact device with dimensions of 157 x 111 x 8.3mm. There’s still room for a 6-inch screen though, which is the most common size on ereaders at the moment. The size of the device also means it's easy to hold in one hand. We found it was easy to hold for long periods of reading, but also wouldn’t blow away in the slightest gust of wind. So you’ll be glad to know the Kobo Clara HD is comfortable to hold for long periods of time without it becoming too heavy in the hand.Īt 166g this is a similar weight to the standard Kindle model, and quite a bit lighter than the Kindle Paperwhite. Strange looking rear that won't appeal to everyoneĬomfort is one of the most important elements of an ereader, especially when you'll likely be reading books for long periods.In this video we put both devices head to he. You can also buy it in the UK from a variety of other retailers including John Lewis and WHSmith. If youre in the market for a premium e-reader, youre probably debating between the Kindle Oasis or Kobo Forma. You can get it now in the UK and Australia from a variety of retailers including Kobo's manufacturer, which is called Rakuten.
