Lots of people have been asking in regards to the Kobo Clara BW recently because it’s now not out there to buy from anyplace within the US, and a few are beginning to marvel if Kobo has determined to part it out.
I assumed it was out of inventory due to a easy provide subject, however now it’s gotten to the purpose the place I’m beginning to get suspicious too. I feel it’s been out of inventory for effectively over a month at this level, and it’s not out there to buy anyplace within the US.
The product web page for the Clara BW doesn’t even present up anymore on Amazon while you attempt to seek for it.
I actually hope Kobo hasn’t determined to only supply fashions with shade E Ink screens shifting ahead. That may be a extremely unhealthy thought, however they form of already determined to try this after they didn’t launch a black and white model of the Libra mannequin. Wouldn’t it actually be that stunning in the event that they determined to ditch the BW Clara too?
On Kobo’s web site, the Clara Color has over 20% extra critiques than the Clara BW, which might counsel the colour mannequin is outselling the black and white mannequin. Perhaps they’d relatively simply promote the dearer model shifting ahead to extend earnings.
I nonetheless assume it’s most certainly a provide subject and the Clara BW shall be again in inventory quickly, however you by no means actually know with Kobo. They’ve discontinued fashions previously once I wouldn’t have anticipated them to, just like the Kobo Mini and the Kobo Aura One.
The bizarre factor is the Clara BW remains to be in inventory on Kobo’s Canadian and UK web sites, and it has been for some time now—I’m undecided if it was ever out of inventory within the UK. So why has it been out of inventory within the US for a number of weeks now?
