2022. Kobo Clara HD 2 will be available soon
Kobo is going to be releasing a new e-reader in the next couple of months - Kobo Clara 2, which is a second generation model to their mega popular 300 PPI ebook reader. The new model will feature a six inch E INK Carta 1200 display panel, which will increase page turn speed and overall performance of the reader. It will have a 300 PPI screen and have a front-lit display and candlelight color temperature system. One thing that is very interesting about this model, is that it will be the first e-reader in the world to employ the new E Ink ComfortGaze, a new front light technology that reduces the amount of blue light, with a reduced Blue Light Ratio (BLR) and Blue Light Toxicity Factor (BLTF) by up to 60% and 24% respectively. BLR is the ratio of toxic blue to total blue light output, and BLTF is the ratio of brightness to hazardous blue.
