La tinta se ve perfecta, de verdad parece que miras un libro y no te cansa. Además el material es bueno y el tamaño es el ideal, un poco más grande que un libro de bolsillo. La respuesta es muy rápida y es muy fácil transferir o comprar libros. Review: I have used Kindle readers for quite some time, and decided to try something different since the reviews were so good, and I'm not disappointed. This reader is far snappier than any of the Kindle's I've had over the years. Compared to my current Kindle (2020 Sage Paperwhite) this is miles ahead - fast page turns, super-fast downloads, much less cluttered interface, good battery life, and better power button location. Clearly, a 4-year-old Kindle (even a Paperwhite) is not a fair comparison, but given the unattractive color options for the currently available Paperwhite (the new models have just been released - metalic finish likely to scratch easily) I thought the time was right to experiment, and I have no regrets what-so-ever. I like the light-weight and the much lower cost (129 USD v.s. 200 USD for a Paperwhite) This weighs significantly less than my 2020 Paperwhite and has the same display size. The only thing this lacks is the inability to access desertcart ebooks, but given that almost all publishers set their selling prices, you can get the same books from Kobo at the same prices (except those published by desertcart) No issues with library connection, no issues with side-loading books from my library (expect for those I bought from desertcart), and a much cleaner user interface. If you have a massive desertcart ebook library, this may not be the best option for you. Some publishers do specify no DRM, which allows you to read on whatever device you prefer rather than being locked into the seller's system) but if you borrow from the library regularly or obtain ebooks from a variety to sellers and not just desertcart, this is worth a try. It's like a standard Kindle with much better features at the same price. I'm considering replacing my 2020 Paperwhite with a standard Kindle, since those at least come in a color that I would not be embarrassed to use in public, but only because the speed and weight of this reader are so much better that it makes me sad to go back to the old Paperwhite to read books that are locked into desertcart's system. ## Features - 6" Carta 1300 HD E Ink lets you read in bright sunlight without glare with quick page turns and optional dark mode for better nighttime reading - Use ComfortLight PRO to adjust the brightness, color temperature, and blue light of your e-reader so you don't stay awake - Full waterproof protection and meets IPX8 rating requirements: waterproof up to 60 minutes in up to 2 meters of water - Carefully made with recycled plastic and bonded to the ocean and repairable for waterproof protection - Carry up to 12,000 eBooks or 75 Kobo audiobooks with 16GB of storage and enjoy weeks of battery life ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0D1KV8J76 | | Battery Average Life | 7 Hours | | Battery Description | Lithium-Ion | | Best Sellers Rank | #19,796 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #22 in eBook Readers | | Bluetooth support? | Yes | | Brand | Kobo | | Built-In Media | USB charging cable, [optional: warranty card, user manual, protective case] | | Color | black | | Compatible Devices | Bluetooth-Enabled Devices | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (387) | | Display Technology | Electronic Ink | | File Format | EPUB, MOBI, PDF, TXT, DOC, JPEG, PNG, GIF | | Human-Interface Input | Touchscreen | | Item Weight | 6.14 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Rakuten Kobo | | Memory Storage Capacity | 16 GB | | Mfr Part Number | N365-TP-BK-S-EP | | Model Name | Kobo Clara BW | | Model Number | N365-TP-BK-S-EP | | Native Resolution | 1024x1300 | | Night vision | Yes | | Other Special Features of the Product | ComfortLight PRO and Audiobook Stand | | Processor Speed | 1 GHz | | Screen Size | 6 Inches | | UPC | 681495009640 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kobo - **Connectivity technology:** USB - **Display technology:** Electronic Ink - **Model name:** Kobo Clara BW - **Screen size:** 6 Inches ## Images ![Clara BW | eReader | 6" Glare-free Touchscreen with ComfortLight PRO | Dark Mode Option | Audiobooks | Water Resistant | 16GB Storage | Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61COzsfwaUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***H on 16 August 2024* Es mi primer lector así que dudaba un poco pero la verdad que es increíble.
