Durable is an understatement, to be honest. I have the a Kobo Clara BW and it’s fully waterproof. As in, “shit, I dropped it in the ocean lemme run it under this tap to clean it” waterproof.
I’ve dropped it a good many times as well.
The Kobo Clara BW is hands down the best ebook reader I’ve owned, and definitely better than the ones I’ve encountered in the wild with my mates
This is an excellent point. I’ll chime in here and say I’d never consider using one of these without a proper cover. I got the official sleep cover with the little fold in it for making it a stand and it does the job perfectly.
