Reddit users spotted it weeks ago, but now it’s official: Kobo is adding a white version of its fan-favorite Clara Colour e-reader. The launch doesn’t change any internals, but it does give shoppers a fresh option heading into the holiday season.
The Kobo Clara Colour first debuted last year in black, alongside the larger Kobo Libra Colour. Both introduced E Ink Kaleido 3 screens to Kobo’s lineup, letting readers highlight text in multiple hues and adding subtle color to comics and illustrated titles. However, only the Libra was available in a white and black build, while the Clara was limited to black. For months, shoppers have been vocal about wanting to see the smaller device in a white variant like its sibling. In a classic case of ask and you shall receive, Kobo has delivered the requested makeover and now offers a white model to those looking for a brighter aesthetic on their nightstand.
