Is the Kobo Clara Colour worth it for night reading?

Yes — the Kobo Clara Colour can be worth it for night reading, but the value depends on what you read.

• New Kobo Clara Colour: about $150–$180
• New Kobo Clara BW: about $130–$160
• New Kindle Paperwhite: about $150–$190
• Used/refurbished (any of these): roughly $90–$140 depending on condition and seller

For mostly text-only bedtime reading, the Kobo Clara BW is usually the better buy because black-and-white E Ink tends to look a bit sharper and more comfortable in dim rooms. The Clara Colour is worth the extra money if you want color for covers, highlights, comics, children’s books, or mixed-format reading, and you still want a compact reader with warm front lighting.

If your main goal is reading novels at night, I’d usually pay for the Clara BW first. If you want color plus a nighttime-friendly e-reader, the Clara Colour is a reasonable choice.

Prices move often, so check sold/completed listings or current retail pricing before buying.
