One of the most personal technologies has to be the ereader, like those offered by Kobo. I realize that some of them can surf the web and view multimedia, but for me, they are made for reading books. They are perfectly designed for that one simple task. They are lightweight, with a display that is easy on the eyes in daylight, or at night, and they easily fit in one hand. Load one with all your favourite books and it quickly holds a special place in your heart. Enter this contest and you might just win the newest ereader from Kobo, the Kobo Clara HD.

Why do I love Kobo eReaders so much

Let me tell you a little story, a true story. Once upon a time I had a Kobo ereader, a gift from my children, and I used it all the time. I read a huge assortment of novels on my cherished Kobo: mysteries, historical fiction, classics, trashy pop fiction, non-fiction and more. My brain was filled with great characters and great stories. I took my Kobo everywhere: on cruises in the Caribbean, on flights to Europe, and even back and forth in my car daily so that at any moment I could take a few minutes’ break, just me and my Kobo.

Then tragedy struck: one evening while rushing to take groceries into the house to make dinner, I forgot my Kobo in the car. Wouldn’t you know it, a thief broke into my car and stole it. I was shattered! End of story. However, I still feel the loss. You never know how much you love something until it’s gone.

  1. A while ago I lost so many of my books to a flood in the lower level of our house. These were books I loved and a lot were gifts from Grandparents who were no longer with me. I was so sad.. what I love about Kobo ereader is that I can have all of those books in one spot.. that doesn’t have to be packed away. 🙂

  5. I love Kobo E-Readers because I can read them at night, in total darkness without waking up my husband! I can take my e-reader with me everywhere, and I have an entire library stored on it.

  6. I like how the screen looks so much like actual paper. They are also way more convenient than a bunch of books. Now… if they could only give it that “book smell”.

  7. I think it is the best for classic books you have never read before. They are usually easy and cheap/free to get and you can read all the books that are bucket list reads.

  8. I like the idea of having so many books available and the ability to read whenever you want without having to carry a book around.

  9. The Kobo ereader is something I’ve always wanted to own. I read a lot and would love to be able to carry around this device with me instead of multiple books.
