The screen lighting is effectively identical (with the exception of the night-reading mode I describe below), and in terms of hardware there doesnвЂ™t seem to be any significant difference in screen readability between the two.

It uses the same 6вЂі Carta 300 ppi e-ink touchscreen as the Paperwhite (probably literally the same screen, given that there just arenвЂ™t that many e-ink manufacturers out there), and is about the same size and weight. The Clara is KoboвЂ™s answer to the Paperwhite line of Kindles-a frontlit, high-definition ereader that displays crisp, sharp text with a bright white background. The Basics The Clara HDвЂ™s font weight controls allow making any font a bold version of itself. All in all, if AmazonвЂ™s ecosystem isnвЂ™t important to you, you may actually find it to be a better device than the Kindle Paperwhite. I didnвЂ™t want to post a review until IвЂ™d had time to get to know it thoroughly, so IвЂ™ve been using it to read at work, at home, and other places. IвЂ™ve been using a Clara HD review unit for the last couple of weeks, ever since Kobo got it to me just about at the same time it launched. ItвЂ™s not without its flaws, but itвЂ™s got some very decent features as well. But itвЂ™s still a pretty decent e-ink reader, and one of the only good e-ink options on the market for people who donвЂ™t want to deal with Amazon for one reason or another.

Is the new $129.99 Kobo Clara HD going to spark a revolution and win the ereader market back from Amazon? Probably not. The Kobo reading interface includes a number of menu options at top and bottom revealed by touching the middle of the screen, including access to annotations, an in-book search, and dictionary.
