Ever wished your colour eReader matched your minimalist style? Kobo heard you. The popular Kobo Clara Colour is now available in a stunning white in Singapore. Get ready for a vibrant, eco-conscious digital reading experience with this highly anticipated device.
Have you ever looked at your gadgets and wished they came in a colour that just felt more… you? Well, for booklovers in Singapore, Rakuten Kobo has some fantastic news. They’ve clearly been listening to their fans. According to CEO Michael Tamblyn, the most popular feature request since they launched their colour eReaders in 2024 was simple: “Clara Colour, but make it white!”. And now, they’ve delivered on that demand.

On September 10, 2025, Rakuten Kobo officially unveiled a brand new look for one of its most popular devices, introducing the Kobo Clara Colour in classic white. This isn’t a complete overhaul, but rather a fresh, minimalist option added to the lineup. It’s designed for readers who want their device to reflect their personal style, offering a touch of understated elegance. It seems Kobo is focused on one thing: delighting readers in every part of the eReader experience.
A Fresh Look for a Beloved eReader
The new white colourway is purely about aesthetics, giving you a timeless choice that stands out. Underneath that clean exterior, it retains all the vibrant features and smart design that made the original Kobo Clara Colour so popular. This device first brought Kobo’s advanced E Ink Kaleido™ 3 display to a compact 6-inch eReader, making the digital reading experience more vivid and enjoyable than ever before.


Whether you’re diving into richly illustrated graphic novels or want to colour-code your highlights, this colour eReader brings a whole new dimension to your ebooks. Plus, Kobo continues its commitment to being more eco-conscious, thoughtfully crafting the device with recycled and ocean-bound plastic.
The Features That Matter for Digital Reading
Beyond its new look, the Kobo Clara Colour is packed with features that enhance your reading life. The full-colour E Ink Kaleido™ 3 display offers crisp black-and-white text alongside vibrant, natural colours, which is perfect for everything from kids’ books to travel guides.

You can also use multiple highlight colours to annotate your books and organise your thoughts effortlessly. For those late-night reading sessions, ComfortLight PRO allows you to adjust the brightness and colour temperature, ensuring you always have the optimal light, day or night.
One of the best things about the Kobo ecosystem is its seamless integration with libraries. With built-in OverDrive support, you can borrow library books directly on your device without any fuss. And if you’re someone who loves to read by the pool or in the bath, you’re covered. The device has IPX8 waterproofing and a lightweight design, making it the perfect travel-ready companion. Kobo also offers limitless reading opportunities through its eBookstore with over eight million titles, the Instapaper service for saving web articles, and the Kobo Plus all-you-can-read subscription service.
Accessorise and Protect Your New eReader
Of course, a new device needs protection. You can pair your Kobo Clara Colour with an eco-friendly SleepCover, which retails for SGD 49.90. These covers come in a variety of colours like Candy Pink, Cayenne Red, and Dusk Blue. They are made with 97 per cent recycled plastic, including 10 per cent ocean-bound plastic, which helps divert waste from landfills and oceans.
If you’re looking for a more affordable option, Kobo also offers a Basic SleepCover and a Clear Case, both priced at SGD 29.90.
