Both devices give you16GB of storage, audiobook support and a 6-inch display, but the Kobo Clara 2E won't lock you into Amazon's ecosystem and has a waterproof rating of IPX8, something the 6-inch Kindle (2022) is noticeably missing.įile formats: 15 file formats & Kobo AudiobooksĪt first glance, the Kobo Clara 2E looks just like the Clara HD – the same tablet-like plastic chassis with a 6-inch display – however when flipping the ereader around you can distinctly see the difference. ![]() The Kindle (2022) comes in at $99.99 / £84.99 for an ad-supported model, while over in Australia it'll set you back AU$179 for the device with no ads. Australia's pricing for the Kobo Clara 2E still remains at AU$229.95, coming in AU$10 cheaper than the 8GB Kindle Paperwhite (AU$239.99).Ĭompared to Amazon's 6-inch Kindle (2022), the Kobo Clara 2E is a bit more expensive. Since then, the price for the Kobo Clara 2E has gone up to $139.99 in the US, matching the price for the 8GB Kindle Paperwhite in that region, the same as over in the UK (£129.99).

Kobo Clara 2E (Blue) at Walmart for $136.43Īnnounced in September 2022, the Kobo Clara 2E was available for $129.99 / £129.99 / AU$229.95 on release.The Kobo Clara 2E has an abundance of new features including audiobook support. However, it does slip in cheaper than its competitor – Amazon’s Kindle Paperwhite – but only in the Australian market. That’s right – the Clara 2E’s starting price is higher than the Clara HD. ![]() Overall, Kobo’s latest Clara model features some sweet upgrades for a relatively small markup. Interestingly, its Bluetooth connectivity holds up well and has a decent range, as we found out when leaving the Clara 2E on the kitchen counter while we were cleaning the living room. That said, you will need to pair a set of headphones or a Bluetooth speaker to it to enjoy them, as the device itself doesn’t have built-in speakers (like some Onyx and PocketBook models). Like the newer Kobo ereaders, the Clara 2E also features Bluetooth support, so you can listen to audiobooks (albeit only those purchased from the Kobo Store). It makes finding your library, the Kobo Store, settings or OverDrive (to borrow library books) really easy. The interface is something Kobo has really nailed, and navigating around the device is incredibly simple even for first-time users. It also brings over the same crisp and clean user interface that we’ve been big fans of since the beginning. In keeping with its open ecosystem, Kobo’s latest ereader still offers wide format support that makes it easy to sideload your existing collection of ebooks and documents. ![]()
