Please note that Canadian Kindles do not offer Bluetooth, so playing Audible or any other audiobooks is not possible. Also Amazon has chosen to ensure that Kindle is not compatible with Libby. Kobo in Canada offers Bluetooth making audiobooks a possibility, and also allows Libby to be used. For Canadian E book users, Kobo is the only proper option.

Thank you for mentioning that flush screen is actually not as good as people want the “aesthetics of a flush screen”. When I read I want crisper text, closer to what it looks like on real paper. Less glare, the point of getting an e-reader..

[AlexThorn]

I really don't like the flush screen on my current kindle. It really makes it easy to skip to the next page I preferred the concave screen that was on my previous kindle which somehow got lost.

[andyryan]

Couldn't agree more about the Kindle power button! It's actually the biggest reason I'm watching this review!

Just switched from PW5 to Clara 2E, Clara 2E does have better screen, lightweight, still fast, but one thing you should know is that if youre not lucky enough, you would get the clara 2E with cones of light along the bottom, which means it would have uneven backlight
Edit: its actually frontlights

You can pinch to zoom/shrink the Kobo screen without pulling down the settings. I think this was a very recent update.

[borispradel]

Be advised if you are over 50 years old, get a larger screen (KOBO Libra 2) or Kindle PW 6.8 (or Oasis) You can use larger fonts and still keep enough text to read fluently. I got tired of using larger fonts on a small screen and having to turn pages so frequently.

[kelvinblack]

Would be good to mention that kobo devices can read many different files while kindle has you more or less locked in the amazon system. Big reason I chose Kobo over Kindle.

[jackb.]

Thanks for the visual comparison. Each has advatages and slight disadvantages but this presentation lets me visually see the differences, though may mot have helped me decide. Lol

[adamhenderson]

The Kindle power button for me has not been an issue at all. I had to force myself to press it while holding it, and I have a case which makes it virtually impossible to press while standing it up. I feel like the power button on the back of the device is much more of an annoyance if a case doesn't allow for it.

[outforbeer]

Kindle going backwards. That button placement made this version junk

[dvsdawl]

Those text sizes he compared are the same

[Darryl]

I'm gonna buy an E-reader maybe at the end of the year (waiting for the other products to be released). I'm gonna read some self-help books, fiction, and manga. Which brand/type do you think suits my reading materials better? oh and I'm definitely avoiding the expensive ones. I'm okay if it's cheap as long as it's good quality and not old, up to the mid prices.

[goodfodder]

good you highlighted the kobo’s green credentials, it was the selling point for me

[llcspy]

I just got this as my very first e-reader and it arrived today. The box shows it was made in China though and not in Taiwan as you had said in the video.

[Mentolado]

I'd love to install the Kobo software on a Kindle PW. For me that would be the perfect ereader.

[catalinamercedes]

kindle's screen is still more soothing to eyes, arghhh, I can't wait for kindle colored but I think I will :) I hope my patience will pay off :P

[silverbit]

Hi Peter
Very good video.
I come from Germany. My English is not very good. But I could understand you very well. I ordered the Kobo Clara 2e today. What I would have been interested in is a comparison between the pocketbook era and the kobo Clara 2e.

I think Pocketbook didn't do that well with the eInk Carta 1200 display.

Greeting Marco

[zhiqianwen]

I have both kindle and kobo. Despite i live in Canada, where I am not able to borrow books from libraries electronically, I still use kindle as main device for its smooth navigation and user interface

[mryan]

I have neither of these versions, but the Kindle looks to be sharper and has a cleaner appearance on screen in this vid. Kobo also seems to be a bit more sluggish.
