Kobo Clara BW
Customization
Fonts, screensavers, gestures and other tweaks.
Everything in this section uses the software the Clara BW shipped with. None of it requires KOReader, and the changes are just files you copy onto the device or settings you toggle.
What you can change
- Fonts. Kobo includes a good set, and you can add your own TrueType or OpenType fonts by copying them to a folder on the device. On a 6-inch screen a slightly narrower font can gain you a useful amount of text per line.
- The sleep and power-off screens. Replace the default images with your own.
- Reading layout. Margins, line spacing, justification and font weight, all in the reading menu — worth tuning carefully on a small screen.
- The light. Brightness, warm-light level, and an automatic schedule tied to sunset.
Start here
- Add your own fonts to the Kobo Clara BW Copy TrueType or OpenType fonts to a folder on the Clara BW and select them from the reading menu. No extra software needed.
- Change the sleep and power-off screens on the Kobo Clara BW Replace the images the Clara BW shows when it sleeps or powers off with your own, using a hidden settings menu and a folder on the device.
