Kobo Clara Colour: uncertain if I should replace motherboard or screen |
Parts
Tools
These are some common tools used to work on this device. You might not need every tool for every procedure.
Background
The Kobo Clara Colour is Rakuten Kobo’s first eReader with a color display, along with its partner device, the Kobo Libra Colour. Offering 16 GB of storage, the Kobo Clara Colour inhabits the same lightweight form factor as its predecessor, the Kobo Clara 2E, but replaces the 6” black and white display with a 6" color E Ink Kaleido 3 touchscreen that allows for a full spectrum of color—without losing that classic E ink look. Moreover, it supports Kobo Audiobooks with a wireless Bluetooth device, along with IPX8 waterproofing for any poolside reading.
For nighttime reading, the Kobo Clara Colour features an optional Dark Mode, plus the built-in ComfortLight PRO to adjust brightness and reduce blue light. As part of Kobo’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, the Clara Colour is made with recycled and ocean-bound plastic. The Kobo Clara Colour starts at $149.99 USD.
The Kobo Clara Colour eReader was refreshed in June 2025 with the N367B version.
Identification
The Kobo Clara Colour can be identified primarily by its model numbers: N367 or N367B. You can find the model number either on the edge of the plastic case or through the device’s settings: More → Settings → About Clara Colour.
There are two Clara Colour versions: N367 and N367B. Check your eReader’s model number (printed near the bottom of the rear case) before starting repair guides.
At a glance, the Kobo Clara Colour is similar to the Kobo Clara 2E and the Kobo Clara BW, with the sleek, rectangular form factor and the lack of page-turn buttons. As of April 2024, the Kobo Clara Colour is the only eReader in the Clara lineup to have a color E ink screen.
