Save up to $30: Kobo is offering discounts on two of its most popular models — Kobo Clara BW and Kobo Libra Colour — as an alternative to Amazon’s Prime Day deals. You can save up to $30 on your purchase. These offers are live now and run through July 2.
Both discounted devices earned spots on our list of the best e-readers of 2026. CNET expert David Carnoy ranks the Kobo Clara BW as the best-value non-Amazon e-reader. It comes with a 6-inch E Ink Carta 1300 touchscreen that’s comfortable to read on for hours at a time. The IPX8 rating also makes it waterproof, so you can bring your favorite books to the beach or pool without much worry.
It normally retails for $160, but you can pick it up at a $20 discount right now, which brings the price down to $140.
Kobo Libra Colour is currently sitting at $230, after a nice $30 drop. The color display makes it ideal for graphic novels and comic books. You can even highlight text in different colors, which is great if you like to revisit the important parts later. And since it plays nicely with the Kobo Stylus 2, you’ll also have the option to jot down thoughts as you read or take notes.
