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. The Kobo and other e-readers make it a snap to take a large quantity of books to read while traveling without lugging or packing paper books.

  2. It’s nice because it’s easy to carry around and read on my long bus commute without having to worry about lugging around a heavy book!

  3. My daughter Addison is 11 and we struggle to get her to read at home. When a donation of e-readers were given to her school she began to love reading at school. Well now that school is out for summer and she moving onto a new school we are struggling again. She would really benefit from this ereader and we cannot afford to buy one.

  4. I live in a small town of 400 people. We struggle but we have a library, Stewart Public Library. We struggle because we are a small town and have a hard time to raise money to keep the doors open. I would like to win this Kobo e-reader and donate it to our library. Thanks in advance.

  5. the idea of having hundreds of books in the palm of your hand to choose from , instead of a heavy bag of books to carry around on holiday!

  6. Love how light and easy to take places! Great for vacation when you want to take a few books!

  7. I want to win one b/c I like to read at the cottage, but can’t fit a bunch of books in my bag.

  8. I love how functional they are – the perfect size for reading on the go!
    Kobo also takes away the hassle of physically going to the library

  9. I love Kobo ereaders because they are super convenient and light weight, perfect for the commute on the train to work and for vacations.

  10. I love the Kobo because I can store so many books that allow me to travel all over the world, through time and to places unknown. It’s amazing.

  11. I love Kobo e-readers because when I’m commuting on the subway, I can hold a pole on one hand and use the other to hold my e-reader. No need to flip the pages with two hands! Makes reading so simple and easy and makes my commute so much better.

  12. I love that they don’t hurt your eyes from having s bright light and they hold a lot of books.

  13. Its light, super easy to read compared to tablets! With access to 1000s of books it is one of the best e-readers on the market for every person who loves to read! it is my go to for new books

  14. The paper-like digital screen makes it so much easier to read for longer duration. I cannot stand reading on a smart phone or tablet. Gives me a headache.

  15. It is simple for me..it has to be the size and how comfortable it is in the hand.. everything else is icing on the cake

  16. I love to read..at least, I used to. As I have grown older, my eyesight has weakened and even with my glasses, it’s just not enjoyable anymore to pick up a book only to have such a hard time reading the pages. The Kobo e-reader makes reading accessible and therefore, winning this little delight would bring the joy of reading back into my life.

  17. I’m a mom of a 3 year old and I travel a lot for work. Having a Kobo e-reader would be amazing since it’s light weight, you can have hundreds of books and there perfect for when I travel. It would be a true blessing for me. 🙂

  18. I have had a Kobo ereader for years now (on my second one). They are great, and I take mine everywhere. They are light weight with great battery power and storage. The best thing about them is that they are compatible with the ebooks from Canadian libraries! I download for free all my favourite authors and find new favourites every time I log on to my library’s site.

  19. I love eReaders because they are discrete , portable and less wasteful than books!
    Thank you!

  20. I love that I have a library of choices at my fingertips. I love to read when we travel and this is perfect for that!

  21. I would love to use it when i go to church. It would be easier for me to locate scriptures.

  22. l love how portable they are so you can have lots of reading options at the ready without the need to lug along heavy books or make trips to the library.
