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.

  25. I’m 71 years young and starting to have memory lapses. I don’t have a reader and know it would help. Others that I know have a Kobo and love it and recommend it. I want one too.

  26. I love taking my Kobo on vacation. I can fit tons of books in one little device which is great when suitcase space is at a premium

  27. i love that the ComfortLight PRO automatically changes colour temperature to help reduce blue-light exposure

  29. I like the small size of the Kobo Clara HD. It makes it really easy to bring with you and read on the go.

  32. What I really love most is the use of e-ink technology rather than backlit LCD technology of most tablets. This way it uses reflective light and is easier on my eyes, especially in the evening when I’m reading in bed. It’s easier to go to sleep.

  37. I love my Kobo as it is lightweight and easy on my eyes while reading. I can have many books loaded so I have my choice of genres to read – from romance to thrillers!

  44. I have a sony e-reader that for a long time has not been supported and the battery no longer lasts more than an hour. It was a nightmare to load books onto, had to download them to my PC then transfer them over. I would love a kobo! My friend has one and everything is so easy.

  45. My current e-reader is an old Kindle. I really like how this new Kobo has 8 GB of storage! Maybe I’ll be able to take my digital copies of comics along with me.

  47. I really love my Kobo e-reader because it is so convenient and allows access to books quickly. Mine is loaded up with classics, new releases and bestsellers available at a moment’s notice! The Kobo battery is fantastic as it holds a charge for quite a while and allows me many hours of reading before recharging. I really have nothing but good things to say about Kobo!
    Kudos Kobo!

  48. Winning a Kobo reader would be wonderful. It would offer me hours of reading pleasure, and the opportunity to try new reading experiences in the days to come.

    Many thanks.
