On the other hand, the Kindle Paperwhite supports HTML DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, and PMP content through conversion, and more importantly, lets you read Kindle books. While that's great, the experience of viewing images or reading digital comics on a black and white screen won't be as rich as viewing or reading them on a tablet. The Kobo Clara HD also supports JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, TIFF, TXT, HTML, RTF, CBZ, and CBR content (many of those are photo formats), without needing to convert them. Both the Kindle Paperwhite and Kobo Clara HD support Epub 3, MOBI, and PDF books, which is great, but then things get tricky. No matter how good an e-reader is on paper, it needs to support many types of digital books to actually be useful. Digital books aren't generally very large, but if you want to use either device to read PDFs or other document formats, you'll appreciate the extra storage. Storage: Another win here for Kobo - the Clara HD has 8GB of storage for books, while the Kindle Paperwhite only has 4GB.
Screen brightness will have an impact on the battery life you get, but the "weeks" estimate has been true of my experience with Kindles. If you plan on using your e-reader one-handed, weight is also something to consider.īattery life: Kobo and Amazon both say their e-readers' battery lasts for "weeks," which is standard for this device category. Weight: The Kobo Clara HD pulls ahead in this category as well, as it weighs 166g to the Kindle Paperwhite's 205g. If you're a nighttime reader, this feature alone makes the Clara HD worth serious consideration. Screen size and pixel density: Both the Kobo Clara HD and Kindle Paperwhite have a 6" e-ink touchscreen with a pixel density of 300PPI (pixels per inch,) which is high enough that text of all sizes and typefaces will look crystal clear.īoth devices also have backlit screens, which make it easier to read in the dark, but Kobo's uses a technology called "ComfortLight PRO" to automatically change its tint, reducing the amount of blue light it gives off.
