Kobo Clara BW
Score: 71/100Rankings
The Kobo Clara BW is a compact 6-inch black-and-white eReader featuring a sharp 300 PPI display, ComfortLight PRO and IPX8 waterproofing. Its limitations include the absence of physical navigation buttons and modest RAM that can affect heavy PDF use. It's ideal for readers who want a lightweight, waterproof device with excellent readability in bright light.
The Veidoo 5.8-inch e-reader runs Android, providing Google Play access, 32 GB storage expandable to 64 GB, and a built-in speaker in a very lightweight design. Its low-resolution screen, lack of front-light, and modest performance are notable drawbacks. Suited for users who prioritize Android app flexibility and portability over premium reading quality.

Professional reviewers acknowledge the Veidoo’s impressive portability and Android flexibility, but they uniformly condemn its 139 PPI display and lack of front‑light, calling the screen quality “paltry” and “evil.” Performance is described as sluggish, and the device is suspected to be a clone of cheaper Haxmini/Topjoy models, which undermines confidence in long‑term support.
Everyday users mainly mention the device’s light weight and the convenience of the included protective case, but there is little positive chatter beyond those points. The absence of a front‑light and the low‑resolution screen are implicitly understood as drawbacks, aligning with expert criticism.
Professional reviewers commend the Clara BW for its sharp, high-contrast 300 PPI E Ink screen, lightweight build, and seamless OverDrive and Bluetooth audiobook integration, noting it delivers a solid black-and-white reading experience. However, they point out the lack of physical page-turn buttons, modest battery life under heavy use, and slightly lower brightness compared to earlier models.
Everyday users praise the device's compact, lightweight feel, glare-free screen readability in bright light, long battery life, and waterproof capability, describing it as an easy entry point for new e-readers. Recurring complaints focus on the missing tactile page-turn buttons, reduced battery endurance with intensive lighting or audio, and the small size being less comfortable for larger hands.
