Professional reviewers describe the Kobo Clara Colour as a well-engineered entry-level colour e-reader, praising its fast dual-core processor, eMMC storage, and vivid Kaleido 3 display. They highlight its lightweight, waterproof build and impressive battery life, while noting the small screen size and lack of tactile controls as drawbacks for power users.
Everyday users love the Clara Colour's light weight, long battery endurance, and vivid colour rendering for comics and cookbooks. Common complaints revolve around the limited 6-inch screen, the dimmer colour e-ink compared to monochrome panels, and the absence of physical buttons or a stylus, as well as storage constraints.
Professional reviewers praise the B7 Pro for its ultra‑lightweight build, crisp black‑and‑white text and the convenience of a full Android OS on an e‑ink device, noting that it delivers smooth performance for reading and basic productivity. However, they caution that the limited color resolution, small screen size and inherent e‑ink latency make it less suitable for visual‑heavy content, positioning it primarily as a text‑focused, portable e‑reader with phone capabilities.
