Here's what the inside of your Kobo looks like. | Image: iFixit E-readers might be relatively cheap when compared to your typical smartphone, but it's still a bummer when they break, given how hard it is to find parts for them. Now, iFixit has announced that it's offering OEM replacement parts for certain Kobo e-readers, along with detailed guides on how to install them, starting today. The first e-readers being supported are Kobo's latest: Kobo Clara Colour, the Clara BW, and the Libra Colour.
Kobo owners can buy OEM batteries, motherboards, front and back covers, and screen assemblies for those devices on iFixit's new Kobo Repair Hub page. iFixit has a detailed guide for installing each part.
We're thrilled to announce our partnership with Rakuten Kobo, starting with their new Colour eReaders!...
