Rakuten Kobo, a global leader in digital reading, has introduced a new look for one of its best-loved eReaders: the Kobo Clara Colour in classic white. This sleek, minimalist refresh adds timeless appeal to Kobo’s popular colour eReader lineup, offering readers a stylish new option without compromising on the vibrant features that made the device a hit.
A Fresh Take on a Fan Favourite
First launched in 2024 alongside the Kobo Libra Colour, the Kobo Clara Colour quickly won over booklovers with its compact size and E Ink Kaleido™ 3 colour display.
Now, in response to reader demand, Kobo has added a white edition to the lineup.
“Our most popular feature request since launch has been ‘Clara Colour, but make it white!’ and we are happy to be able to meet that demand,” said Michael Tamblyn, CEO of Rakuten Kobo. “At Kobo, we just focus on one thing: delighting readers. Every part of the eReader experience plays a part. We’re proud to be adding Kobo Clara Colour in white to that offering.”
Big Features in a Small Package
The 6-inch Kobo Clara Colour is built for readers who want portability without sacrificing functionality. Key features include:
● Full-Colour E Ink Kaleido™ 3 Display: Crisp black-and-white text paired with natural, vibrant colours for comics, guides, and children’s books.
● Effortless Highlighting: Use multiple highlight colours to organise notes and ideas.
● ComfortLight PRO: Adjustable brightness and colour temperature for comfortable reading, day or night.
