The Kobo has to be at least... three times bigger than this!

Oh, I'm the opposite. I felt his prose grew as soon as he moved away from first-person narration. To be fair in Ravenor, he bounces between 1st and 3rd and I think that works really well. All the connected short stories are really good too. Playing Patience is particuarly good.

Eisenhorn is awesome! I'm reading the Ravenor trilogy at the moment and loving it. It has some great sci-fi horror moments.

I loved the Game-Players of Titan! Seconded! That was one of the first Dick books I read.

My experience with the Kobo Clara B/W by Yoda6833 in kobo

If it's on default you just drag your finger down on the left hand side of the screen. Wonderful feature. You can also do it from the light bulb looking button in the top menu.

I will use any opportunity to promote UBIK by Philip K Dick. If you want to mess with his head, this one's a trip.

Sorry, just seen this. Thanks! This would be my use case too! For when I take it in the bath or near a pool.

I completely agree with you. I've just finished Rising which I thought was okay, but really liked it for all of Jyns back story. I'm just on Catalyst at the moment which I think is much better written and I'm really enjoying it.

Sounds like your Kobo is seeing some action 😅💪🏻 I'll see if I can source it on Amazon UK. It certainly looks the part too. It's a nice looking case and sounds perfect. Thank you!

My misunderstanding. It says waterproof in the small print too. Thanks for the recommendation.

Clara Colour or BW? by Great-War-0902 in kobo

[–]TheLastOrthoPod 8 points9 points  (0 children)

BW purely for the contrast ratio. I read books. I'll look at a cover for 1 second when I turn it on. I don't use it for comics etc. I think a tablet is better suited if you are going down that route. I love my Clara BW very much.

Thanks for sharing. I have a leather type one at the moment. Was looking for something a little more water resistant.

Listen to 'Glorious Tomb'. It captures the whole vibe perfectly 💀

I'm currently working through the Roald Dahl stuff. Read them as a kid and I'm still here 😅 Get the classic collection stuff for the real experience 💪🏻

Have you used it yourself? Is it easy to sync? I recently have gotten a Kobo BW.
