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.

  2. I have vision issues and the ability to change font size, lighting, and that it’s light weight would really be an asset for me. Thanks Best Buy for this chance

  7. Easy to carry, always have a “next book” ready to go.. and both reading outside on a sunny day and reading at night in the dark are equally comfortable on my eyes.. I couldn’t love it more!!

  8. I love that it is lightweight and it is easy to load with books. I am an avid reader so would love to win this.

  11. For me its that I can download so many books so when I am away I am all set,with my faves in one small compact reader. I also love the built in light. When reading at night if I fall asleep I don’t have to wake up and turn off the lights

  12. My KOBO is the BEST approach to reading while travelling — no more need to carry HEAVY books in my already too heavy suitcase! And it is also so convenient at home too.

  14. I love that I can load books from my house, I don’t have to go to the book store or library if I feel like changing up what Im reading

  16. I’ve owned a few Kobo e Readers since their inception for the fact that their screen really cut out the glare when outdoors, are bright enough in the dark and their size. It can fit in my back pocket.

  17. I have always wanted to own a Kobo reader ever since I borrowed it from my daughter when I was going away on a trip. It was the best travelling companion ever, very light, easy to stuff in my carry-on and I was able to load all the books I wanted to read. I like the fact one can increase and decrease the text size too if needed.

  18. i love ereaders for reading on the go. whenever i take a book in my bag it always gets banged up. with an ereader, no more!

  19. I take my Kobo everywhere and that means I can carry hundreds of books in a compact, lightweight device. I also love Kobo because it is backlit so I can read with minimal ambient light if needed. Finally I love to be able to adjust the font size and the line spacing according to the book I am reading. Kobo brought me back to reading!

  22. Because I tried one once and thought it was just the greatest thing.
    I love to read and I think this is just THE best way to read a multitude of books.

  23. This would be an awesome reader to have as it sounds like it is very light compared to other ones which would be great for me as I have difficulty holding a book for long period. Downloading is important and to be able to do it quickly sounds great.

  27. I really like the Kobo. It is lightweight, and compact. Easily transferable when I travel. I’ve owned three Kobo’s and have recommended it to other people.

  28. I’d love to win this because I can use it for books from indigo which is my preferred bookstore. Plus, I can put so many books on it at one time. Super convenient for when I’m on the bus.

  33. I’d like to win because when I travel, this would be the best way to bring a lot of books along.

  34. I have loved reading from the age of five. Books have taught me about myself, people, their cultures, their food, their countries and allowed me to dream and visualize those places I may never see. When I worked in remote locations, my Kobo reader connected me once again to the magic of books, and while surviving northern winters, I could be visualizing myself somewhere tropical or off to Paris, just by opening that Kobo-magical!

  35. I enjoy the ease of an ereader which I can take anywhere when I travel and still has new books to read.

  36. I love Kobo readers, as they’re great for traveling. It’s easy to take a library of choices along in one small package, and the lighting can be adjusted to read in any light.

  38. What I love about Kobo ereaders is their portability and crystal clear text (black on white background).

  40. I recently had eye surgery and was unable to get a new prescription for glasses until the eye healed. The only way I was able to read was on my old Kobo. I was able to pick the right font and increase the size to one that was comfortable and easy to read thus saving my readaholic sanity. . I would love the new version.

  41. Absolutely love ebooks and would love this new Kobo. So easy to travel with and read in any location without having to carry books with me!!

  45. I love that they are easy to carry. I like that e-readers in general are more ecofriendly as well. No more hard copy books to worry about.

  48. I received this email and was very excited to enter as I am an avid reader and have 2 other lobos. I would love to have the newest version of lobo so during my frequent travels I am assured of extra long better life! However; I have tried to enter for 2 days and your site does not allow to do so. I am disappointed.
