Top of the list? The Kobo Clara Colour (MSRP $189.99) now in eye-catching white. Equipped with the same beloved features, 6" E Ink colour screen and lightweight design as the original black Kobo Clara Colour, the new white version is the perfect choice for booklovers looking to take the leap into digital reading, upgrade an older eReader or get ahead on holiday shopping.

Another great option? Kobo Libra Colour (MSRP $259.99) redefined the eReader experience, bringing digital bookshelves to life on a 7" E Ink colour screen. Pair it with the Kobo Stylus 2 (MSRP $89.99) for colourful annotations and personal notes (perfect for marking up the best of #BookTok or jotting down ideas on the fly). With room for up to 24,000 eBooks in a lightweight, ergonomic design, it’s built to keep readers turning pages, anywhere, anytime. 

Why Kobo eReaders?

A Canadian-founded company. With global headquarters based right here in Toronto, Rakuten Kobo has been changing the way Canadians read digitally since 2010.

They're innovative. Kobo Colour eReaders were the first E Ink colour eReaders to market in the Americas - and leverage Kaleido 3 technology to offer a colourful, waterproof reading experience that's still gentle on the eyes.

They allow you to read comfortably, anywhere, anytime. With an ergonomically curved form meant to fit perfectly in your hand, Kobo Libra Colour is a delight to read on with page-turn buttons, left/right screen rotation, full font size and margin customization, and landscape mode. For restful reading at night, ComfortLight PRO automatically reduces blue light throughout the day. Or, read with Dark Mode - your eyes will thank you.

They're making digital reading more affordable. Diehard library user? No problem. Borrow eBooks directly from your local library with OverDrive and Libby integration on your device, meaning you don't need to break the bank to access your next great digital read.

Accessories: The perfect gift’s finishing touches

​Plus, Kobo offers a variety of accessories to protect and enhance your reading experience. From adding a pop of colour with adaptable SleepCovers (MSRP $44.99) that feature a built-in stand and sleep-wake functionality, to a minimalist Clear Case (MSRP $29.99) that allows you to keep things simple or show off your style however you’d like, there’s no shortage of ways to personalize your Kobo style!
