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. I have the original Kobo. I love it. I have roughly 500 books on it. Sadly, it’s starting to break down.

  2. Great for travelling, commute and reading under the sun, lightweight and no need to carry several books.

  3. I can see the Kobo being an amazing device the catch up on your preside books without lugging around physical copies. That makes it great for traveling, trips to the bank or sit down restaurants, any where you have some time to kill.

  4. I love that you aren’t having to go out and browse through a bookstore, then decide what to do with the book after you’ve read it. Also, helps to save trees, and if you borrow from library, you’re saving yourself money. And the biggest reason I love them is that you can adjust the brightness of the page, and the size of the text.

  5. I love the fact that I can load so many books at one time. I also love not having to deal with funky smelling library books

  6. Don’t own one yet unfortunately, but I love the idea of being able to have multiple books in one place.

  7. I’ve never used one but I imagine for someone who reads a lot and doesn’t want the clutter of tons of books, it would be a great thing to have!

  8. I love how you can use it bed and not having pages flipping while lying on your back. It’s so comfortable to use and gives great light instead of keeping your partner awake by using a bright light in the room to see a book.

  9. I love Kobo e-readers! They’re lightweight and portable; plus the ability to carry a whole library in your hands makes it such a great item!

  10. I love that I can choose whatever I want to read depending on my mood and it is so convenient.

  11. What I love about this e-reader is it’s wieght and his adaptive ambient light feature. But most of all, I like it’s name because it’s my mother’s name.

  12. Kobo has an easy-to-use interface and great lighting options for any time of day or night.

  13. I love features of using the kobo ereaders. They are easy to use and fun to read with. Love them

  14. Both my parents have Kobo’s, and I love how lightweight they are and can literally go with you everywhere. I WAS an avid reader, but eventually you just get tired of lugging the books around with you everywhere. I downloaded an app to my tablet, but it just isn’t the same as a Kobo!!

  15. Kobo is thin, light-weight, and very good-looking…can hold thousands of books (literally) and will not hurt your eyes

  16. Kobo is thin, light-weight, and very attractive…i own one, very happy with my purchase, and I would love to win this for my dad who loves books as much as i do. But he currently can’t afford it…he’s a very hard-working dad, he deserves this.

  17. I love the flexibility to have thousands of titles at your fingertips – great for long trips, dr office visits, general day to day! Would really love to win the Kobo Clara!

  18. I love Kobo ereaders because it is easier to read with larger type and far lighter than taking a dozen books with you whenever you go away for the weekend.

  19. I have had a Kobo before and it was amazing! I love the ease of use it has and the clear picture it provides. Love it!

  20. I love my Kobo for travel and every day! Great for middle of the night, so I don’t disturb my partner by putting on the light. Great for when I can’t sleep! I’ve read so many good books!

  21. No need for a bulky library when you have a Kobo! all the confort of having thousands of books in one smart device! would love to have it!

  22. had a kobo ereader. Purchased it many moons ago and it recently died. Haven’t had time to buy a new one and maybe with some luck i won’t need to. i love traveling with my kobo. We usually vacation in hot sunny locations and i can use my kobo either poolside or on the beach without worrying about screen glare, unlike my husband with his iPad:)

  24. I love the battery life, the fact I can have so many books at my fingertips, the backlight so I can read in bed and not have to worry about keeping my overhead light on.

  25. i love reading and i love the fact that you can have your whole library in the same spot and not uave to lug around a ton of books and that you can take it with you anywhere without ending up with ripped pages or ruined books this would be great to win thank you for the chance
