GET $20 OFF: The Kobo Clara Colour is priced at $139.99 on Amazon, down from its usual price of $159.99. This amounts to a 13% discount and sets a new lowest price on Amazon.

Though the festive season can be busy, the time away from work and school presents an opportunity to unwind and enjoy some peaceful moments. As streaming service prices rise, turning to books for entertainment is becoming a wise choice. If you’re in the market for an e-reader, there’s an excellent offer available today.

As of December 17, the Kobo Clara Colour is available for $139.99 at Amazon, down from $159.99. This $20 reduction results from a 13% discount. While it may not appear to be a significant drop, Kobo e-readers seldom go on sale, making this the lowest price ever on Amazon.

You might be familiar with Kindle e-readers, but there’s a strong contender among the Rakuten Kobo offerings, which boasts outstanding models for those who choose not to use a Kindle. In Mashable’s assessment of the top e-readers, the Kobo Clara Colour is recognized as the best Kobo model. The white version, now discounted, was unveiled in September of this year.

The Kobo Clara Colour is equipped with a matte display that is glare-free and, unlike numerous Kindles, it contains no advertisements. Its color display is ideal for reading manga or examining illustrations in books. In Mashable’s tests, Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino remarked that the six-inch size is just right. “With a 6-inch screen, it’s a bit smaller than the Kindle Paperwhite, but it enables you to grip it comfortably for several hours without any wrist or arm strain,” Mangino noted.

Its waterproof construction makes it perfect for a tropical getaway, and Kobo Rakuten has recently launched a new Kobo remote. With 16GB of storage, you can save hundreds of e-books, and utilizing the Libby app, you can access millions of free titles.
