I fiddled with the font size quite a bit. You also have the power to decide where on the screen you want to access these settings when you read. Just like there are options for lighting, there are options for text size, font choice, line spacing, and margins. Over the week I used it I’m not sure how much I noticed the transition, but I appreciated the lack of thought I had to put into benefiting from this feature. It introduces blue light throughout the day when you need it and then gradually decreases the amount to help you unwind. I also appreciated the Natural Light feature. This takes longer and the screen flashes in a way that’s not very pleasant. There’s also a brightness icon in the top menu where you can increase or decrease light intensity. I found the most convenient option was simply touching the screen on the left side and moving up or down to brighten or darken the screen. The ComfortLight PRO front lighting built into the reader offers two different ways for adjusting lighting. The Kobo Clara HD offers an experience that is very close to perusing print books. And while there’s a texturized design, it didn’t do much beyond collecting lint. It’s a smooth plastic that offers no grip control. Another design miss is the material on the back of the device. The better solution was to hold the device in the palm of one hand or with both hands and completely avoid contact with the bezel. I found the minimal amount of bezel space on the left and right sides of the reader to be restrictive and experienced hand cramping especially when trying to hold the Clara HD with just one hand.

5 inches to work with, which wasn’t enough room even though I have small hands.

The sides of the bezel, however, present only about. The black bezel is widest at the bottom at about 1 inch, which is a decent amount of room, but holding the reader at the bottom was very unnatural. Oddly enough, despite the featherweight design, I found this e-reader uncomfortable to hold for extended lengths of time. It resembles a small 4圆-inch notepad you might use at your desk and weighs just a little under 6 ounces, which is light and small enough to fit in a large jacket pocket and stow comfortably in even small bags without really noticing it’s there. Lifewire / Yoona Wagener Design: Almost pocket-sized, which is both good and bad
