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.

I like that the Kobo ereader is light weight, has a huge assortment of novels, with a display that is easy on the eyes in both daylight and night If I were to ever win such a wonderful prize I would re-gift it to my grandson. He would be so happy and I would definitely be a great grandpa for sure. Than you Best Buy.

  8. I love that my Kobo isn’t locked into competitors walled garden ecosystem where I’d have to jump through hoops to purchase from other locations.

    Also helps that the parent company runs the OverDrive service!

  11. This kobo is exactly like the older kobo touch. The battery life would be even longer. It’s just like a book. The other great feature is the lighting, that it changes automatically when you go inside or out. Would love to continue reading on this great ereader.

  12. I love the idea of having tons books to choose from and not having to lug around paperback/hardcover versions

  13. My husband and I love using our Kobo’s to read before bed. Over the last three years, we’ve often had a little one sleeping in the room with us so being able to read without disrupting their sleep has been great. Unfortunately, my husband’s kobo fell victim to a toddler and a sink (rip kobo glo) a couple months ago and he’s taken mine to use at night! I would love to gift him a new one so I can take mine back.

  15. I love the idea of having a whole library that is portable and can be tailored to my reading tastes, I can read where ever and when ever I want and shop for new books too!

  16. I’m in LOVE with the screens! I never thought something digital could replicate printed text so well. Bonus: changing the font style, size, margins, etc. to suit you for a more comfortable read. My favourite thing is to get lost in a great read and with Kobo I can do that minus the eye fatigue. Now all I need is a hammock ☺️

  19. I thought I would not like an e-reader but after having one for 5+ years I can’t imagine not having one. I travel quite a bit and I used to have to pack a few books into my luggage and hope I packed the right books I felt like reading , now I have my e-reader and I have my entire library at my fingertips, no more worrying about hoping to have the right book. Also love the fact you can get a book in a series immediately so you can continue the story instead of having to wait for the book to “come in” or go get it.
