    • Kobo Libra Color is Worth Your Money
Color: Black
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I’m so glad I bought the Kobo Libra Color—it’s a product that’s on par, if not better, than the Kindle. One feature I absolutely love is the page-turn buttons; they add such a satisfying, tactile experience. It’s also incredibly lightweight and easy to handle. The color display is another highlight—it really enhances my reading experience, making it feel more like holding a real book. The battery life is excellent, and I find myself using this e-reader more than my Kindle now. Adjusting the screen brightness is also much more intuitive compared to the Kindle. Overall, in my opinion, this is the superior option. I’m so glad there’s a great alternative to the Amazon brand. The ironic part? The Kobo Libra Color is actually priced cheaper on Amazon than on the Kobo site! ... show more

    • This Bookworm's Dream Come True!
Color: Black
Oh, friends and fellow readers, let me tell you: the Kobo Libra Colour is pure magic wrapped in a sleek little eReader. I’m someone who reads all day, every day, and I picked this one to replace my older Kindle. Let me just say… no regrets, none at all. Zero. Zilch. Nada. First off, the file support on this beauty is a dream. I have a digital library full with all sorts of formats, and the Kobo handles them alll! PDFs? Check. EPUBs? Check. Comics? Oh yes, glorious comics... in muted, newspaper like colors and that's FINE with me. Look people, it’s not the retina blasting brightness of a tablet, but it’s clear, gentle on the eyes, and absolutely perfect for long reading sessions. Library lovers will be happy. ! Borrowing books directly from my library with OverDrive integration is smoother than butter on a warm biscuit. And syncing with Google Drive? I didn’t know I needed that, but now I’m NEVER going back. Oh, and waterproof? Be still, my heart. Whether it's by the pool, in the bath, or caught in a drizzle on the porch swing — my Kobo doesn’t flinch. The size is just right, too. Big enough for comfortable reading, small enough to throw into my purse without a fuss. And the UI? Intuitive, responsive, and just… right. If you’re a book lover, comic enthusiast, or just someone who appreciates a no-nonsense reading experience, this eReader is worth every penny. Pros: Supports a wide range of file formats Easy library book borrowing with OverDrive Waterproof (hello, bathtub reading!) Syncs seamlessly with Google Drive Comfortable size and ergonomic design Color display is perfect for comics and illustrated books Intuitive and smooth user interface Cons: Colors aren’t as vivid as a tablet (but hey, it’s an eReader!) Stylus sold separately if you want to take notes If you’re on the fence I'd say jump off the deep end and grab this little slice of bookish heaven. Five stars, two thumbs up, and a happy reader right here. ... show more

    • I love everything about this!
Color: Black
I'm a long-time Kindle user, and my last three Kindles have been high-end: the Voyage, Oasis, and Scribe. The bungled release and poor handling of the Colorsoft made me look into Kobo after I decided the Scribe was a little big for casual reading (I still love it, though). I was a little concerned that after years of metal and glass Kindles, I'd be disappointed in something "less," but this was not the case once I got the Libra Colour in my hands for the first time. The build quality is excellent and I like the form factor. I love the page-turn buttons; I found I missed them after I got rid of my Oasis. Buttons aside, the form factor and curved-up edge where the buttons reside make this a joy to hold in any orientation, including landscape. While I prefer the flush screen of my Kindles to the slightly recessed screen of the Libra, it's a minor complaint, and one the page-turn buttons mitigate. The plastic feels sturdy, the device is lightweight without feeling cheap, and I like the location of the power button and USB port. The Kindle Scribe made terrible choices for power and USB, in my opinion. The fact that Kobo made this device intentionally repairable is a huge plus for me, though it feels durable enough I doubt I'll ever need to, barring major accidents. Coming from Kindle, figuring out the user interface wasn't a challenge. It's not identical, but most of the conventions are close enough that in 10 minutes of poking around I had everything set up as I wanted. I think the UI is better than Kindle, overall. Once I got my Kobo account set up, purchasing books from the device was simple. The lighting temperature (from cool to warm) has a broad range, as does the overall brightness. The color presentation is excellent. No, it's not super saturated and vivid like an OLED or LCD screen, but it's not supposed to be. I vastly prefer the color presentation on the Libra to my wife's Kindle Colorsoft. So does my wife. Text is clear and easy to read, if not quite as sharp as black-and-white eInk screens. I knew this going in; it's just how color eInk panels are currently. Again, I think the Libra's text looks better than the Colorsoft's. It does feel slightly slower than the Colorsoft, which I admit feels extremely snappy. But in practice, I don't really notice it unless I'm comparing it side-by-side. The Kobo Store experience falls behind Amazon's shopping experience, but I expected this. You won't find any books that are part of Kindle Unlimited on the Kobo store, as Amazon requires KU books to be exclusive. Otherwise, there's a vast selection, and certainly, the bestsellers and popular books are there. I find it a little harder to find what I'm looking for on the Kobo store, but part of that is my familiarity with shopping on Amazon and my newness to Kobo. Honestly, this was my biggest concern when switching devices and platforms, but overall, it was pretty painless. All in all, I love this device. ... show more
