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 travel a lot and my Kobo is so handy because it is so much lighter and smaller to throw in my backpack than the three or four large books I’d be bringing otherwise!

  2. My wife is a retired library technician and an avid reader. I would like to win this Kobo reader for her

  3. I really like the portability of Kobo ereaders, and the compactness.
    I also like the anti-glare screen.

  4. I really like the portability of Kobo ereaders, and the fact that reading many books can come from a single compact device. I also like the anti-glare screen.

  5. I love how compact the kobo is and having many books at my fingertips. Great for travelling and commuting because it slips easily into my purse

  6. I love the fact that I can take all the books that I could possibly read with me in one easy to read and access Kobo Reader.

  7. I love how I can bring lots of books with me at any time and not cause back problems from the weight, and how I can read in bed without the lights disturbing anyone.

  8. I would like to try a Kobo reader. I love books, but they get pretty heavy when I travel.

  9. I would love to have a Kobo reader-I still read physical books, but we are moving and looking to downsize-this would help a lot.

  10. I’ve never had a Kobo but I did have an older version of an ereader. It was so nice to read at night before bedtime, no bulky book to worry about. And it was nice that if I did fall asleep while reading, I didn’t have a large 300 page book hitting me in the face.

  11. I like the light weight. I do a lot of multiday hikes and when you’re counting every little thing and every gram matters, books are usually not an option. Bringing a Kobo would make a lot of sense!

  12. I love how lightweight and portable the Kobo reader would be, easy to take on adventures

  13. I’ve never had a Kobo but I would love to have one for several reasons: lightweight, several books at once, low glare won’t hurt my eyes, and don’t take up space like several books.

  14. I like Kobo because it’s made for reading text. You don’t need to install many fancy apps as in most tablets.

  15. With restrictions on weight for checked luggage on airplanes, a Kobo e-reader would allow me to have more books at the touch of my finger, instead of having real books packed in my suitcase.

  16. I was scared to use the Kobo at first because I read in the tub a lot but the ease of use along with being waterproof I love my Kobo and want to win this one for my mom who loves to read. The choices of books are unbelievable.

  17. I like being able to carry a whole library with me, but the light weight of my current job is probably my favourite feature.

  18. I love Kobo ereaders because they make it a breeze to read in direct sunlight without issue of glare. Something you cannot do with a tablet or phone screen!
    Also being able to carry around hundreds and hundreds of books at once is very handy!

  19. I love to read and this would enable me to have all the books I want in one place. Easy to take anywhere and for travel. I think I would read even more.

  20. I like the fact that they are lightweight and so convenient. It would be great to win a new Kobo Clara HD.
