Clara HD feels much faster with the screen responding immediately to my input
the borrowing and returning process has worked flawlessly
a smoother and more enjoyable reading experience
lightweight and very comfortable to hold

it s waterproof or has any kind of audiobook integration
no Bluetooth connectivity on the Clara HD unfortunately
these features are missing but given the price
lack of waterproofing and cheaper build
Paperwhite has no such feature
the lack of waterproofing can be excused
no waterproofing or page-turn buttons like its more expensive
older USB cables redundant
no X-Ray keeping track of characters and plots
Kids doesn t have any ads on the lock screen or homepage
the selection of textbooks is more limited
screen color temperature isn t new to ebook readers
frustrated with slow page turns or low resolutions
Kobo lacks Amazon s tightly integrated ecosystem
you can only sign into one at a time on the device
there are no physical page-turn buttons
Kobo does not include this feature in the Clara HD
Clara HD apart is its lack of advertisements
you will not have support for audiobooks or cellular data
e-Reader to sleep when cover is closed
I've left unused for a long time
doesn't add much to the weight and thickness
Kobo Clara HD is more expensive than the Amazon Kindle
this device will be sorrowfully disappointing
Kindle line doesn't have Audible support in any of their mid-range e-readers
Kindle's azw format is not one of them
Headphone jacks are becoming increasingly rare on e-ink e-readers
reflective glare and back-lighting
available for Kindle Australia users
lack of headphone jacks in the latest range of e-readers
laptops or other mobile devices is just not a great experience
Glo was a little sluggish when turning pages and loading books
slow pace of innovation in the eReader domain
cumbersome task of getting borrowed books from my local library onto the device
