When ComfortLight PRO was introduced with the launch of Kobo Aura ONE, it received the seal of approval from Colleen Carney, Associate Professor and Director of the Sleep and Depression Laboratory at Ryerson University, who said devices that eliminate blue light work well for those who enjoy reading before bed. For Kobo Clara HD, the Kobo engineering team took the lighting design even further, to replicate a colour temperature that more closely reflects natural incandescent light sources when set at the warmer end of the spectrum this was achieved by using a warm custom designed LED (2600K).Įxperts have cautioned that devices in bed, and specifically the blue light from screens, can affect sleep quality. Readers can also choose to manually set the light settings based on personal preference. By setting a bedtime hour, the hue of the light mimics the sun’s natural progression (from a cooler to a warmer light). What’s more, its anti-glare display allows for endless summer days of reading in direct sunlight.įor those who like to stay up past their bedtime, ComfortLight PRO reduces blue-light exposure through the course of the day, so they can read even longer without it affecting their sleep. Kobo Clara HD offers a high-resolution, 300 ppi, HD Carta E Ink touchscreen that displays crisp-clear fonts to replicate a print on paper reading experience, which brings many benefits, including being easier on the eyes in comparison to LCD screens found in smartphones and tablets.

The device will also be available in France on June 1, and as of June 5 in the US, the UK, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Turkey, and Japan Hong Kong in July with Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico to follow later this year. Kobo Clara HD will be available in black and will retail for $139.99 CAD (MSRP) in Canada at Indigo in-store and online at and other select retailers, with pre-orders from May 29 to June 4, and in-store availability starting June 5.

What a paper reader will notice right away is the clarity of the words on the E Ink “page”, as well as the ability to read comfortably even in direct sunlight due to its anti-glare display.
