Switch from BW to Color?

Is it possible to switch the screen and the motherboard to switch my device to a color version? Is there anything in like the casing and such that would prevent that?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi Esra, No, unfortunately converting your Kobo Clara BW to a color version isn't feasible. Here's why:

  • Component incompatibility: The Clara BW and Clara Color have different motherboards designed to work with their respective screens. Replacing both the screen and motherboard would be complex and require soldering expertise.
  • Physical limitations: Even if compatible components existed, the casing might not be designed to accommodate the potentially different size or thickness of a color screen.

It's generally more practical and cost-effective to sell your current device and purchase a Kobo Clara Color.
