The 6-inch display looks better than that of many Kindle models. The Kindle is available in black or blue (denim) and it costs $99.99 for the ad-supported model-the ad-free version is $119.99. Our take: This affordable model has a battery life of about 4 weeks and a streamlined user interface. The Kobo Clara 2E is available in black (with a blue back) and it sells for $129.99. The Kobo has some software advantages as well, with more layout options, additional tap zone settings, you can set the page refresh frequency, they support Pocket and OverDrive directly, collections are easier to manage using Calibre, and Kobos have a nifty feature that lets you adjust the frontlight level by swiping up and down the left side of the screen, although there’s an annoying delay that makes it more difficult to adjust than other Kobos for some reason (probably a bug). Another advantage with Kindles in general is you can easily email or use Send-to-Kindle apps to send ebooks and documents wirelessly to your Kindle, and they can be backed up and synced with your Kindle library just like purchased books. The current generation of Kindles and Kobos are pretty evenly-matched in terms of price, with only a few 10 notes between them at both the lower and higher end of the price range. It also offers landscape mode and the Kobo does not, along with a few other software features like Word Wise, X-Ray, and VoiceView to read ebooks aloud. It’s faster for most things but not by a lot. Find Daily Deals, read previews & reviews and get. The Kindle has a couple of advantages over the Clara 2E. Open up to over 6 million eBooks and audiobooks on award-winning eReaders and the free Rakuten Kobo App. However, the Kindle Paperwhite offers both of those features if that’s something you want in a Kindle, and it also has a larger 6.8-inch screen and it’s only $10 more expensive than the Kobo. The Kobo Clara 2E has two main upgrades over the entry-level Kindle in the form of waterproofing and it adds a warm frontlight to adjust the color tone of the frontlight.
