Turning the page on single-use plastic
The exterior is made with over 85% recycled plastic, including 10% ocean-bound plastic—abandoned plastic waste that is on its way to our oceans. Over the course of a year we plan to divert over 200,000 plastic bottles from our planet’s oceans and over a million CDs and DVDs from landfills.
Redefining the bath-time read
Kobo Clara 2E is fully waterproof*. That means it’s always ready for unexpected spills or a relaxing soak in the tub.
*Meets requirements of IPX8 rating. Waterproof for up to 60 minutes in up to 2 metres of water.
From your morning read to after hours
Kobo Clara 2E has a glare-free 6" HD E Ink Carta 1200 touchscreen with ComfortLight PRO to adjust brightness and colour temperature.
