Books are great. But not when you have to carry half a dozen in your suitcases to keep you busy during your vacation. Fortunately, there are wonderful little devices called e-readers to overcome this problem.
If you’re itching to buy an e-reader, the end-of-year holidays are the ideal time to take the plunge. Right now, and until December 24, the most interesting models from the Kobo by Fnac range are available at a reduced price. This is the case of the Kobo Clara Color which sees its price drop by 20 euros to fall to 139.99 euros.
Kobo Clara Color: add a little color to your reading
Why settle for black and white when you can have color? This is a bit like the philosophy developed by Kobo with its Clara Color model. This 6-inch e-reader is equipped with an E-ink Kaleido 3 screen which allows it to display all the content it contains in color. A godsend for fans of comics or graphic novels, this e-reader is capable of reading image files (JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG or TIFF), and files dedicated to comics (CBR and CBZ) in addition to the usual ePUB and PDF. The Kobo Clara Color is also capable of reading audiobooks, and has a Bluetooth connection so you can listen to them in complete peace of mind.
In order to accommodate all your content, this e-reader has 16 GB internal storage, the equivalent of 12,000 e-books or 75 audiobooks. Enough to garner hours and hours of reading and that’s good, because the autonomy is here with several dozen days of operation with the right settings. Designed with recyclable materials, it also focuses on repairability and durability: IPX8 certified (up to 60 minutes in two meters of water), it also has numerous spare parts in order to be able to replace the key components which would make the soul.
Last advantage of this e-reader: comfort of use. We know that E-ink screens are much less aggressive than traditional screens, and reduce the risk of visual fatigue. The Kobo Clara Color goes a little further with its Comfort Light Pro system which not only reduces blue light emissions, but also adapts the brightness and temperature of the display throughout the day. A dark mode, as well as the possibility of adjusting font and line spacing are also included for a customizable and comfortable experience as possible.
For the end-of-year holidays, the Kobo Clara Color is benefiting from a reduction of 20 euros which brings it down to 139 euros until December 24.
Kobo Sage and Kobo Elipsa 2E: versatility and large format in the spotlight
If you want an e-reader with advanced features, the Kobo range has two models that might interest you. The Kobo Sage to start. 8-inch screen, 32 GB storage: this e-reader impresses with its ease of use and its capacity to store a real library (almost 24,000 books anyway). It also stands out for its ergonomics and in particular its wider right side which houses buttons allowing you to easily navigate from one page to another. A provision that guarantees better grip.
The Comfort Light Pro feature allows you to enjoy a soft, eye-pleasing display all day long, while Bluetooth connectivity makes it easy to connect headphones or earphones to listen to any audiobook. But the big advantage of this e-reader remains its compatibility with styluses (like the Kobo 2), in order to take notes directly on your books, or in the dedicated application.
Currently, this e-reader benefits from a reduction of 30 euros which lowers its price to 269.99 euros.
The Kobo Elipsa 2E is positioned as the (very) big sister of the other two models. Broadly incorporating the features of the Sage (note-taking, Comfort Light Pro, Bluetooth, 32 GB storage), it stands out above all thanks to its 10.3-inch screen. To make matters worse, it comes with a Kobo 2 stylus, which makes it a perfect note-taking tool that you can easily take anywhere with you.
In view of Christmas, this e-reader sees its price drop from 399 to 349 euros, a nice reduction of 50 euros.
