But now they seem to function the same way as the books bought through Kobo’s own shop. Until the most recent update, one could complain that side-loaded books (the vast majority of my collection) were second class citizens unless one used the Kepub plugin for Calibre. I had to try a bunch of them until I found one that the Kobo was fine with. So far the only complaint I have is that the Kobo Clara HD is very picky about which USB port it’ll use to sync on my computer. The Kobo shows the cover of the book you’re reading: Sleep modes of the Nook and Kobo Clara HD That said, I will miss the Nook’s sleep mode page with its famous authors. The fact that it has a light that sits under the side panels (so it’s front-lit like a book light) is also much better for my eyes, especially when reading at night. The Kobo is so tiny, I can truly fit it in my pocket (and did just that on my last plane trip) – here are some size comparison photos:Įven though the screens are about the same size, I got the highest DPI Kobo I could, and so the text is so much crisper and less straining on my eyes. The Kobo turns so fast, at this point it would take me longer to turn a page in a paper book. It did get incredibly annoying if I was reading a non-fiction book with footnotes (or a fiction book using them humorously) because then there was a lot of page reloading. But, as something that doesn’t happen that often (I’m a fast reader and I wasn’t blowing through pages), I thought it was fine. At the time that the Nook came out, I thought people were being fussy and making excuses for paper books by complaining about the page turning speed. Additionally, the book selection screen, shown above, is much more informative and useful.
Having a touch screen reader is so much more convenient. To do anything like select a footnote, you had to VERY SLOWLY scroll across the screen to the number and then wait for it to load up the new page. My Nook was so old that it only had the bottom interface as a touch interface.
KOBO CLARA HD CASE HOW TO

KOBO CLARA HD CASE PLUS
The initial contents of the box plus the case I bought it. So you’re either stuck with using a computer, the wall wart of one of your cell phones, or a wall outlet with a USB port. What I think is interesting is that the experience of getting one of these set up is mostly the same experience as 9 years ago, except no wall wart was included for the USB charger. Additionally, who knows – I might go back to more reading at home or before bed when a backlit phone just isn’t ideal. As Scarlett has gotten old enough to read, I figured she could have the Nook (to keep from straining her eyes constantly with the backlit tablet) and I’d still want an ereader for travel. This way I can read during the entire trip without draining my cell phone battery.
But there’s one time that I really love the ereader – when I’m traveling, particularly by plane. Usually I’m either reading on my phone or on the computer. Mostly that comes down to the fact that I don’t read as much before bed and I have limited other places to use the ereader. Now I’ve got 1396.Ī big difference from 9 years ago is that I don’t use the dedicated ereader as much as I used to. Four years ago, I started using Calibre to manage my ebooks. Almost exactly 9 years ago I got a Nook after rethinking my prejudices against ebooks.
