Compare Kobo ereader models

Compare all Kobo e-readers using our Kobo e-reader comparison table! This table scrolls to the right, so scroll to the right (or click the arrow) to compare and see all data.

The table is sortable; click the column header to filter values, for instance memory, from hightest to lowest, or lowest to highest (). This way you’ll quickly find the e-reader with the most memory.

You can also filter by features, for instance whether the e-reader is waterproof, by checking the box (). This will result in only showing Kobo e-readers that are waterproof.

For price and release date, you can enter a range, and for some other features, you can use the dropdown box to select options.

  1. There are two new Kobo e-reader models coming out soon: the Kobo Libra Colour and Kobo Clara Colour. Some details have already leaked, but I’m still waiting for the official announcement (hopefully with full specifications & features) before adding them to the table.

  2. It was actually three new models: Kobo Clara BW (Black & White), Kobo Clara Colour, and Kobo Libra Colour. All new models have been added to the table for comparison just now!

    Here are some side-by-side comparisons for the new models:
    Both new models with color screens: Kobo Libra Colour vs Kobo Clara Colour
    Both new Clara models: Kobo Clara BW vs Kobo Clara Colour
    The new Kobo Libra Colour vs Libra 2

    All new Kobo models can be pre-ordered now, available on April 30th 2024.
