Top-Rated Kobo eReaders, Ranked
The Kobo Clara HD is a great budget e-reader with excellent performance and a beautiful screen. Unless you want access to the Kindle Store’s massive line-up, the Clara HD goes toe-to-toe with nearly any low-to-mid priced e-reader out there.
While it’s definitely an e-reader first and a digital notepad second, the Kobo Elipsa does quite well for Kobo’s first foray into active stylus support. It’s a big e-reader though, so we don’t recommend it for on-the-go use or bedside reading.
The Kobo Libra H2O is a great ebook reader for people who want to use a variety of formats and aren’t married to the Amazon ecosystem. It’s cheap, waterproof and generally provides a great reading experience.
A compact, versatile reading device with an advanced display and practical features.
A color E Ink device with a solid design and battery life, struggles a bit on handling and display vibrancy.
The biggest thing the Kobo Sage has going for itself is the ability to write on it and the stylus support. Those elements work and are innovative, but the battery life just lets the rest down.
The eReader market doesn’t tend to compete as much as the smartphone market but there are still some good things happening and differences to be found between the various models. The Kobo Libra 2 is a great example of this with its audiobook support and wide range of support e-book formats.
Combining one of the largest screens on a mainstream e-reader with a unique design, the Forma is an interesting alternative to Amazon’s e-readers — as long as you’re not already tied too much to Amazon’s ecosystem.
