According to our e-reader expert
With the Kobo Clara HD Classic Cover, you prevent scratches and cracks in the screen or on the casing of your Kobo Clara HD. You can read at any time of the day using the right light. Thanks to ComfortLight PRO, the Kobo Clara recognizes the ambient light and automatically adjust the screen backlight accordingly. That way, you can read with an increasingly softer light into the early hours of the morning, which prevents trouble sleeping because the e-reader also filters blue light. On top of that, the Kobo Clara barely weighs 170 grams, which is the same as an apple. So you can easily take the e-reader with you in your bag, backpack, or suitcase.
Note: you need to set up a Kobo account to use a Kobo e-reader.

"Good news! Your order fits through the letterbox, so you don't have to stay at home," says Coolblue in the shipping confirmation. uhh, good news? A 130 euro e-reader that you throw through the letterbox on my stone floor? And the one that disappears in the postman's mail bag without a track & trace code? Then take emergency measures to make the fall as soft as possible: see the photo. Fortunately (because the thin mailing envelope contained hardly any material to dampen the shock) my tactics worked ;-) But next time just put such electronics in a package again please!

Because the Kobo soon freezes and you can no longer use it and the product has to be returned, I eventually chose a different ereader

I've been using the Kobo Glo HD for several years now, and the only thing missing was the 'Comfort Light' feature, which the Kobo Aura ONE released last year introduced. The Kobo Clara HD
The difference between the Glo HD and Clara HD is in the speed of the system and the lighting.
The rubber back of the Glo HD has been exchanged for a nice and good feeling hard plastic, 'perforated' so that it does not slip out of your hand.
The screen is of the same high quality, with the addition of the aforementioned Comfort Light.
Finally, there is the software. This one is quite well put together. Unlike the Kindle, Kobo reads everything from PDF to ePub to CBZ. It is also possible to easily transfer books that were not purchased through Kobo's own e-store onto the device. It works just like a USB stick: connect the e-reader to your computer, and copy the file to the drive.
There is also software developed by third parties to use instead of Kobo's software (koreader), but it may take a while before this is available on the Clara.
