This isn’t anything out-of-the-ordinary for Amazon, since most of its Kindle range is also made from similar recycled goods. Meanwhile, the Paperwhite uses 60% post-consumer recycled plastics and 70% recycled magnesium. In particular, the Clara 2E is Kobo’s first-ever eco-conscious eReader, with 85% crafted from recycled and ocean-bound plastics. ![]() On another note, both brands have taken a leap in the direction of sustainability, creating both eReaders from predominantly recycled plastics. While fitted with its Rakuten Kobo SleepCover however, it requires a firm, purposeful push if you want to put it to sleep since the addition of the case creates this dip to protect the button against accidental bumbs. The Clara 2E’s power button is larger, circular and smooth to hold. The Paperwhite’s button is easier than the Clara 2E’s to press when I’m in a hurry to toss it to the side, but I expected each button to be located at the top of the eReader, where it’d be less likely to be pressed. Personally, I find the location of both buttons to be a little unorthodox. It also uses a USB-C cable to be recharged, which can be found at the bottom of the device. ![]() The Kobo Clara 2E’s power button is on its back, located at the top left of the eReader. The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite’s is located at the bottom, to the right of its USB-C charging port. The biggest difference lies in the location of each device’s sleep/power button. On the reverse side, the Kindle has a smooth back, save for the Amazon smile logo, while the Kobo has wave-like impressions that are a nice touch (if you don’t choose to cover it up with a case). Ignoring the difference in screen sizes, if you look closely at the Kindle you can see that its bezels are thinner, maximising overall screen capacity. In this scenario, you can decide whether you want an eReader that fits comfortably between your hands (the Kobo) or if an eReader with a larger screen (the Paperwhite) will make for a much more comfortable reading experience. The Kobo Clara 2E sits at a basic 6-inches while the Kindle Paperwhite goes up to 6.8 inches and looks noticeably bigger. The obvious difference between these two eReaders is in its screen size.
