I'm not sure where my Kindle Paperwhite lives anymore.

It's probably in a box in the closet.

But I do know where my Kobo Clara is located because I use it almost everyday.

I prefer the Kobo over my Kindle for a few reasons, and one of the major ones is that it's smaller.

Instead of the seven-inch display on the Kindle Paperwhite, the Kobo Clara Colour is a petite six-inches that I find more comfortable to hold.
