Kobo e-readers have gotten a little more expensive as the company hikes prices in Canada and the U.S.
The Kobo Libra Colour and the Kobo Clara BW are now $10 more expensive than they used to be. The large Kobo Elipsa 2E, which is priced at $499, hasn’t had its price increased.
The Libra Colour is now priced at $259, the Clara Colour is at $189, and the Clara BW is $169. Reportedly, the price bump isn’t related to the recent tariffs from the U.S. or Canada. That said, it still sucks that the Kobo prices are getting higher, even if they’re mostly still competitive with Amazon’s Kindles.
However, the Kobo Clara BW is now substantially more expensive than the base model Kindle, which only costs $144. Amazon also puts the Kindle on sale often, which might bring its nicer models even cheaper than the Clara BW.
According to The eBook Reader.com this is Kobo’s second price increase in two years. The company also increased prices by $10 in 2023.
