The Kobo Clara BW is lightweight, comfortable to hold, and very easy to use, which makes it great for travel and everyday reading. The screen is smooth, durable, and truly glare-free. I can read for long stretches without eye strain, even in bright light. It has replaced doom-scrolling on my phone before bed, which has made my sleep better. One of my favorite things about this device is how customizable it is. Beyond the standard settings, there’s a hidden menu that lets you fine-tune the reading experience even more, which I really appreciate. The dark mode (inverse reading) is excellent and something I use all the time, especially at night. I have two minor complaints: 1) when switching between menus in dark mode, the screen briefly flashes as it refreshes. 2) response time when clicking is not lightning speed, just normal speed. This sometimes makes me click things twice accidentally. Both are noticeable, but not dealbreakers, and they're the only issues I’ve had after 6+ months of near daily use. I love that I can load PDFs and EPUBs directly from my computer without needing a subscription. For me, that freedom alone sets it apart from other eReaders. It seems like a well-built device that does exactly what I want it to do. If you’re looking for a simple, flexible, and enjoyable reading experience, this one is hard to beat. Review: A Kindle-Killer: The Kobo Clara BW - The Kobo Clara Black and White is an excellent e-reader with a crystal-clear screen. You will not be disappointed with its two-week battery life, even if that may seem less impressive compared to desertcart Kindles. Its wonderful features and seamless integration with computer software like Calibre more than make up for it. With Calibre, you can easily and freely send books from Project Gutenberg, and you can rest assured that you actually own the E-Ink library you are building. Just like physical books, you know that the files on your hard drive—whether from publishers, Project Gutenberg, or other free resources—are truly yours. desertcart Kindle, on the other hand, robs you of ownership. They have, in fact, recently revoked people of access to books they believed they owned. If a book is on Kindle, you no longer truly own it. That’s why I give my utmost endorsement to those considering a switch to Kobo. But don’t switch just because you dislike Kindle—if your Kindle works for you, use it until its battery gives out. However, if you’re looking for a new platform, I urge you to choose Kobo. If you’ve never tried E-Ink before, buy the Kobo. Try it—you won’t be disappointed, and you won’t want to go back. This device truly shines when paired with the Calibre library system. Calibre is a free program you can download on macOS or Windows, and it completely changes your ability to manage a vast E-Ink library and transfer books to and from your Kobo with ease. The Kobo Clara Black and White is compact enough to fit in your pocket. You can change the font and typeface with ease, and you can easily switch the background to black and white to make nighttime reading easier on your eyes. All in all, I highly recommend the Kobo Clara Black and White and give it my full endorsement. ## Features - READ COMFORTABLY ANY TIME – Glare-free 6” E Ink Carta 1300 HD lets you read in bright sunlight without reflections with fast page-turns and optional Dark Mode for better nighttime reading - EASY ON THE EYES – Use ComfortLight PRO to adjust your eReader’s brightness, color temperature, and blue light so you won’t be kept awake - IPX8 WATERPROOF EREADER – Full waterproof protection and meets requirements of IPX8 rating – waterproof for up to 60 minutes in up to 2 meters of water - BETTER BY DESIGN – Thoughtfully made with recycled and ocean-bound plastic and repairability to waterproof protection - BRING YOUR WHOLE LIBRARY ANYWHERE – Carry up to 12,000 eBooks or 75 Kobo Audiobooks with 16GB of storage and enjoy weeks of battery life ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CZXYV8GT | | Battery Average Life | 7 Hours | | Battery Description | Lithium-Ion | | Best Sellers Rank | #64,282 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #126 in eBook Readers | | Bluetooth support? | Yes | | Brand | Kobo | | Built-In Media | eReader | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Kobo ecosystem, OverDrive libraries | | Connectivity Technology | WiFi, Bluetooth, USB-C | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,591 Reviews | | Display Technology | Electronic Ink | | File Format | EPUB | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00681495009558 | | Human-Interface Input | Touchscreen | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 6.3"L x 4.41"W x 0.35"Th | | Item Weight | 6.14 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Rakuten Kobo | | Memory Storage Capacity | 16 GB | | Mfr Part Number | N365-KU-BK-K-EP | | Model Name | Kobo Clara BW | | Model Number | KOBO CLARA BW (BLACK) | | Native Resolution | 1072x1448 | | Night vision | No | | Other Special Features of the Product | glare-free touchscreen, ComfortLight PRO, waterproof protection, eco-friendly construction using recycled and ocean-bound plastic | | Processor Speed | 1 GHz | | RAM Memory Installed | 16 GB | | Screen Size | 6 Inches | | UPC | 681495009558 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Limited Warranty | ## Product Details - **Battery Life:** 7 Hours - **Brand:** Kobo - **Color:** Black - **Connectivity Technology:** WiFi, Bluetooth, USB-C - **Display Technology:** Electronic Ink - **Display resolution:** 1072x1448 - **Included Components:** eReader - **Memory Storage Capacity:** 16 GB - **Model Name:** Kobo Clara BW - **Screen Size:** 6 Inches ## Images ![Clara BW | eReader | 6” Glare-Free Touchscreen with ComfortLight PRO | Dark Mode Option | Audiobooks | Waterproof | 16GB of Storage | Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61i6OwFTd+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great ereader, it goes everywhere with me! *by R***Z on December 13, 2025* I absolutely love this eReader and take it with me everywhere.

Looked at Kindle and decided to go the Kobo route for a few reasons: 1. EPUB support. Most of my library is that format so that was a must-have. I also wanted the freedom to be away from Amazon ecosystem 2. Warm light. Compared to Kindle, this costs about the same a Basic but adds warm light (great for low light reading) 3. Size. 6” screen is sweet spot for me and what I was used to compared to Nook. Very portable and lightweight. 4. Screen. Great quality reading - most modern readers are really good, this has the latest Carta 1300. 5. Water resistant. Not a must have but a nice to have for sure. 6. Price. Make sure you look at the “no ad” price for Kindle if you’re comparing. No, I don’t want ads on my reader. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kobo Clara BW | eReader | 6” Glare-Free Touchscreen with ComfortLight PRO | Dark Mode Option | Audiobooks | Waterproof | 16GB of Storage | Black - Kobo Clara Colour/BW SleepCover Case | Black | Sleep/Wake Technology | Built-in 2-Way Stand | Vegan Leather | Compatible with 6” Kobo Clara Colour/BW eReader - Kobo Clara Colour/BW SleepCover Case | Misty Green | Sleep/Wake Technology | Built-in 2-Way Stand | Vegan Leather | Compatible with 6” Kobo Clara Colour/BW eReader --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/633058582-clara-bw-ereader-6-glare-free-touchscreen-with-comfortlight-pro](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/633058582-clara-bw-ereader-6-glare-free-touchscreen-with-comfortlight-pro) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
