Sure, the frontlight was very helpful, every reading experience is far more superior, and it’s so quick compared to the T1, but me and my tendency to transparent-sticker my gadgets)Īt first, I’m not using the Glo much.

It’s a really nice device! Though the back rubber is supposed to be non-slip feature, it’s definitely catching up fingerprints, and you can’t put sticker on the rubber part! (a.k.a. Fortunately, months after keeping it on the shelf, I decided to sell the PW2). I almost booted but he offered lower price for that), I got the Glo (and regretting the PW2. I wanted the black one, but only the white one left. So, because You Only Have Kobo Ad once, after a fruitful negotiation with the seller (He had 3.

After I bought the Kindle, there’s an ad for Kobo Glo, I was more into Kobo than Kindle, and the price difference was about IDR 700.000, cheaper than normal Kobo Glo price in Indonesia. I was tempted by this ad to buy a Kindle PW2 (don’t ask, it’s mostly because I wanted the frontlight, Pocket integration as an afterthought as well), because the price was quite okay (nooot really).

So, after a few months having T1, I was basically addicted to ebook reader. So, as for the record-keeping articles I write, I’m now talking about my Kobo. MicroSD cards of up to 128 GB have been tested by users on ’, movin’! (If somebody gets the reference) Then use a tool like gparted to resize the data partition (the large third partition) on the new microSD card to fill the remaining space. To take the backup, simply run in a terminal e.g.:ĭd if =kobo_sdcard.img of =/dev/mmcblk2 bs =4M To take a backup, we are interested in the whole device itself, e.g. The microSD card contains three partitions, which will display e.g. Identify which block device the microSD card has been mapped to, for example using lsblk. On Mac or Linux, the standard dd tool can be used. On Windows, this can be accomplished using a tool like Win32DiskImager. Once the microSD card has been removed, it can easily be accessed from a computer using a standard microSD adapter, and therefore imaged (backed up) to the computer. The fit is fairly snug, so I had good success grasping it using thumb and index finger(nail)s from either side and gently jiggling it from side to side while pulling until free. Once some leverage is gained, it's a simple matter to use another fingernail (or even a plastic card), sliding along the interface between the back cover and the edge to separate the two pieces.ĭoing so reveals the microSD card in a standard microSD slot, from which it can be easily removed. I had success on the side edge around 2 centimetres from the top of the device. Since the back cover attaches to the front at a number of places along the edge, it can be worthwhile trying a few different places. It's easy to feel when this has happened, since the fingernail will be lodged much deeper within the device. Note that because the back cover does not sit flush with the front plastic, but rather sits a little inside, it will be necessary to manoeuvre one's fingernail underneath the lip of the back cover before it can be pulled apart. I had good success wedging a thumbnail around the edge of the back cover. See this video for a quick demonstration. The back cover snaps into place, so removing it is a simple matter of prying it apart. The back cover of the Clara HD can be removed with bare hands, if not easily, at least with little fuss. This also means that we can expand the storage of the Clara HD beyond its standard 8 GB by installing a suitable microSD card. This means that we can easily image the internal storage, and if we ever brick the device, fixing it will be as easy as reflashing the image. Before diving in, though, it's worthwhile taking a look at the hardware of the device.ĭespite being advertised as having no removable storage, the Clara HD uses an ordinary 8 GB SanDisk Edge microSDHC UHS-I class C4 card for its internal storage, which can be easily removed and replaced. The Clara HD, like its predecessors in the Kobo range, internally runs Linux, and is surprisingly amenable to customisation and software modifications. The Kobo Clara HD is the latest e-reader from Canadian ebook vendor Rakuten Kobo, sporting a 6-inch 300 ppi e-ink touchscreen, and 8 GB of internal memory.
