However, the Kobo BW is likely the best black-and-white e-reader in the Kobos catalogue; it destroys the previous generation Clara and trounces the entry-level e-reader, the Nia. Kobo doesn’t have the low-quality problem for the most part, so their shopping experience to buy the latest book, audiobooks, and manga or using Overdrive to borrow books for free from the Public library makes the Kobo Clara BW an easy choice. Some e-reading apps have this at the bottom of the screen while you are reading a book; I like how Kobo makes this optional.
