Judge your books by their colors

Step into the world of color covers, illustrations, and more.

As if Kobo Clara couldn’t get any better, our perfect 6" eReader just leveled up with all-new color. Say goodbye to gray, and take the leap into digital reading with a glare-free, distraction-free color experience. Give paper some competition, and see just how colorful your library can be—on one compact, lightweight device packed with features. Explore color inside and out, with illustrations and imagery that truly bring color to your reading life.

Browse and read eBooks in full color

Experience true comfort with the 6" E Ink Kaleido™ 3 display’s soothing color palette. No glare in sunlight, no social media distractions—just you and your book in full-color bliss. Whether you’re a non-fiction buff or a fiction fanatic, let color bring added depth to your browsing, bookshelves, and reading experience.

Never hunt for a highlighter

Now, with multiple colors available at the touch of a finger, you can highlight your eBooks just like print books. Add, erase, or change colors as you go, and easily see all your highlights by chapter at a glance—your book club quotes have never been easier to find!

See your eBooks in their best light

Experience visual comfort day or night with a gentle frontlight, and let screen glare and eyestrain become a thing of the past. ComfortLight PRO automatically reduces blue light throughout the day, and you can personalize your reading settings via font size, line spacing, or even Dark Mode—your eyes will thank you.
