Kobo Clara Colour review: Judging books by their covers is now more fun

Kobo isn't the first on the color-ereader scene, but it did beat Amazon to the punch. The Kobo Clara Colour has a beautiful build, a lovely color screen and a helpful and speedy operating system. It’s the color ereader to beat — at least, for now.

Both of those companies make beautiful, premium devices that are highly capable and customizable — but they don’t offer the plug-and-play ereader experience of a Kindle or Kobo. Kobo’s customization options aren’t overly involved, but they grant enough control so you can change things like the typeface, font size, line spacing and margin width, as well as brightness and light warmth. Discover’s recommendation section has a running list of titles called Just for You and, under Related Reads, suggests books you might like based on works you’ve finished.
