Product Information

Gadgets & Smart Home Whether it’s a drone, a smart vacuum or noise cancelling headphones you are looking to buy, our reviewers have tried and tested it before you have to.

The Kobo Clara 2E has an abundance of new features including audiobook support. (Image credit: Future) The one big upset with this device was its erratic battery. Whether this will get fixed in a future firmware update remains to be seen, but until then, this could be a bit hit and miss.Not only that, the fact that you can access ebooks from a public library is a big selling point – this, however, is contingent on the fact that your library of choice has OverDrive support (which many do in several countries). This is simple to use and all you need is your library card number to set up, then head to the OverDrive feature easily found on the device’s home screen.

Navigating through the library is simple on the Kobo Clara 2E. You can filter, sort and switch between categories to find what you're after. (Image credit: Future)If you’re reading a novel full of text, you won’t notice a difference in its resolution unless you study the book covers or read one with illustrations interspersed through it. Gaming Let expert reviewers guide you on which games to play. From consoles to RPGS and shooters, we’ve got it all here just waiting for you to read. Navigating the Kobo store or your personal library is a bother. Not only is it super slow switching between the tabs, but scrolling to find a book you read a few months ago feels like a punishment. It’s awfully vague that Kobo advertises “weeks of battery life”, but I found that by reading for a couple of hours each day I depleted the battery in about eight days. This did include leaving it on Sleep mode and listening to an audiobook for about two hours while using Bluetooth. The processor is still very slow and glitchy while the interface can feel clunky to navigate.
