One improvement we’re really glad about is the waterproofing. The 11th-generation Paperwhite is a Climate Pledge Friendly product too, but only 60% of its body is made from recycled plastic. ![]() This outdoes what Amazon has done with its latest Kindle Paperwhite models (including the Signature Edition). This changes nothing about its design, as it’ll still look like the Clara HD, but it’s a nice thing for readers who are looking for more eco-friendly options. That’s things like water bottles and CDs that have been salvaged and transformed to create this new device. As we’ve mentioned earlier, the Clara 2E is made of 85% recycled plastic, with 10% of that being ocean-bound waste. This will be Kobo’s first ereader made under its new environmentally conscious scheme. (Image credit: Kobo) Eco-friendly reading You're getting twice the memory with the Clara 2E, so it could be worth considering if you've been looking to grab the Paperwhite, especially if you'd rather use that additional saving on some new ebooks. This also means it's still cheaper than the latest 11th-gen Kindle Paperwhite in the US and Australia (by $10 / AU$10), though both ereaders are the same price in the UK (£129.99). You can already preorder one directly from Kobo’s online store in your region, but you’ll have to wait until late September to have it in your hands. However, you're getting a whole array of new features with this model. Picking one up will set you back $129.99 / £129.99 / AU$229.95 making it $10 / £10 / AU$40 more expensive than its predecessor. ![]() Most importantly, though, it’s also waterproof – something the Clara HD was noticeably lacking. USB-C charging is now the norm on Kobo ereaders, and the Clara 2E is no different. The Clara 2E also gets Bluetooth connectivity so you can listen to audiobooks via a set of wireless headphones or a portable speaker, plus doubles the internal storage at 16GB.
