  • Fantastic replacement of Kindle Paperwhite
Color: Black
I've owned a Kindle Paperwhite for 11 years and decided to upgrade since the newer e-readers now have a more gentle backlight with less blue light. I bought both the new Paperwhite and the Kobo Libra Colour to compare side by side. The Paperwhite was hardly an upgrade from my 11 year old device--plus it is heavier, larger, and harder to hold. The Kobo is much more lightweight, comfortable, and ergonomic with the wide side bar and physical page turn buttons. I can easily and comfortably hold it with one hand. The user interface on the Kobo is also much cleaner and less in your face Amazon-store-junky. I can also access Libby directly from Kobo to easily check out library books. I love how you can change the screen brightness by just swiping up and down on the left of the screen instead of having to go into the menus. As for the downsides, I wish the screen was a tad brighter since I almost always have to have at least 15-20% brightness turned on. The color is also a nice touch but I wouldn't say it's vibrant. Overall, I find reading on the Kobo a lot more comfortable and natural than on the Kindle. I would probably only return to the Kindle if they brought back the Oasis and cleaned up their user interface. ... show more

Color: Black
What can I say, I have been struggling with reading my books for a while now. I never seem to have time and so many distractions. I ended up getting this after a lot of research. It is wonderful. The button make 'flipping' pages easy. The text is clear and looks amazing. I can put it down and go do something then pick it up right where I left off. Really glad I went with this vs the Kindle. not being tied to the amazon store and able to easily use my own Ebooks is amazing. Pros: Light weight Fast response large storage. Easy book management. cons: Note taking is a little difficult. there is a back light/yellow light that I have yet to figure out how to turn off. It seems to be a low light thing. I feel like I am back in highschool or college just consuming books. Feels good to read again ... show more

  • Great Ereader!
Color: White
The ereader I was using before this was an old hand-me down kindle.. It finally died so I decided to get this to treat myself :) This device is leagues a head of my previous one! I mainly read mangas and romance novels and I was honestly looking into getting a kindle oasis, but I decided I liked the customizability of the os much more on this device. The screen is super crisp and I really like the fact it has a screen warmth setting that changes throughout the day. The buttons are very responsive and work great as well. The backlight works great when I want to read at night, even at the 3% brightness it is still plenty bright and readable. The biggest selling point of this ereader was the colored screen and the annotation capabilities. While I think both work fine I was a little disappointed in the colored screen. I've seen some picture online of the screen showing book covers and they all make the screen look very vibrant and nice.. I'm sure it's the same for everyone but looking at the colors in person they do appear a little washed out. Luckily for me that wasn't to big of a let down since at the end of the day this is still an e-ink display. I purchased a 3rd party stylus for this since the kobo one was a little expensive. It worked fine and did what its supposed to. I realized after having it for a few days that it was unnecessary for me because I don't find myself reaching to write something while I'm reading. If anything I would just highlight quotes from the books, but you don't need the stylus to use the highlighting feature. There is also a notebook section that allows you to just take notes or do journalling. This wasn't something I tried extensively, but it functioned fine. The device has a bunch of built in. templates and presets you could use straight out the box. Importing books to this is also super super easy and honestly doesn't take that long. You can upload epubs or pdfs directly to your kobo wirelessly through dropbox, google drive, or an online website (all this can be done with just your phone). It also has a overdrive section built into the UI if you borrow ebooks from the library (I used to on my kindle, but you would have to take extra steps and it wasn't as streamlined). Also importing books from a laptop as simple as just drag and drop! Unfortunately the storage isn't expandable like previous models that used a micro sd card, so if you mainly read manga or comics on this you'll fun out of storage kinda quickly. Only giving this 4 stars because of the storage limitations, but other than that I have no complaints and so far everything works great! ... show more
