![]() ![]() Kobo Aura H2O Edition 2 (Model number: N236).Follow these steps to ensure your eReader isn’t damaged by water. (You mention this.) I think that's a very good price, and it will soon jump up.Some Kobo eReaders are waterproof. The Clara HD at Walmart is on sale for $99.96 US. But this was all very helpful, thank you! But awesome to hear the new light makes a difference! I read a lot during the day and also during night shift work (where I'm actually trying to not fall asleep!) so I think I would appreciate it but it's not a deal breaker in the meantime?īut it's a long 48 hours ish between now and the end of cyber Monday so I may talk myself into it again, who knows. I'll have my Glo HD five years in the fall of this next year so I'm gonna try and hold out at least until then I think, especially since I wasn't looking to upgrade until I saw the black Friday sale on Slickdeals and I'd have just been buying it cause it's on sale, and I'm trying to break that habit of buying things I don't need just cause they're on sale (and I have something else functioning that serves its purpose!). Also bummer that the Aura one had the same USB issue over time, that sucks that newer kobos still have that issue I called it that too! Also when I said screen I meant book cover screen saver, whoops. I didn't know it was discontinued and now I own a different brand reader but it does have a Comfort light, too Sadly my Aura One started to have that loose plug-in port, too and it drove me nuts so I sold it. With the Aura, I was wide awake after reading for a while, with the Comfort light, I just slip back into sleep. I do wake up a couple of times every night and sometimes I do read a bit until I fall asleep again. ![]() All I can say is, the light is worth every penny! One can't imagine it until one has had it. I do not own any of those two devices, but I've owned a Kobo without the Comfort light and one with it (Aura 6" and Aura One). My main complaints with the Glo HD are the loose-with-most-cords port (can make transferring books and charging annoying at times) and ghosting (it definitely needs refreshes more frequently than my Paperwhite 3 and whenever I turn on after having a screen show the text is fainter where the screen was, things like that - but I mostly buy books from Kobo or sideload epubs via Calibre and Calibre collections are kind of hard to enable on the Paperwhite, so I still rarely use it). ![]() ![]() Has anyone upgraded? Would you be willing to weigh in? I'm pretty happy with my Kobo Glo HD, but with the Walmart Clara black Friday sale I was debating if $100 would be a good price for overdrive integration, 8gb storage, and the comfort light. All the annoyances are annoying but hey, it still works. Maybe I'll decide that the Libra is portable enough for me and go for that next time too, who knows. If it dies I can use the Paperwhite 3 and make collections on the device and sideload Kobo purchases until the next sale, though it's a bit of a PITA to download and remove DRM on a Chromebook running Linux (I haven't done it in a while, I just read the occasional book only available in Kindle on the Kindle and the rest on the Kobo). I think I am ok paying the $30 more or whatever it is full price, plus shipping, on the Kobo site (which is way less than the $168 the Walmart site was saying is original mrsp?) and riding the Glo HD out, I just know kobos go on sale maybe once a year and that's why I was considering it. Ha! I manage my own finances so it's more of me arguing with myself while looking at my YNAB than anything. And it will mean you can stop swearing each time you need to put a few books on the device and the USB port doesn't connect.Īnd in case you are wondering, I'm very familiar with the question, "Why do you need another ereader?" The extra space means that you can carry more books including those big books you haven't been able to read. The Overdrive integration means you can borrow books from the library rather than buy them. The Comfortlight Pro light means you will sleep better. The screen is much better and has very little ghosting. So, here is a version you can show whoever manages your finances : Having said that, and rereading your post, the answer is obvious. I have both, and while I didn't upgrade directly from the Glo HD to the Clara HD, it is better. If one of the extra function is something you need, then it could justify the upgrade. But, I don't think it is enough of an improvement to justify replacing a perfectly working device. The Clara HD is definitely an improvement over the Glo HD. ![]()
