    • 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

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

    • Amazing - former kindle oasis user
Color: White
I absolutely love my Kobo, but I will say getting used to the Kobo environment is a little bit of a learning curve coming from kindle. First of all if you really enjoy Kindle insights that show how long you’ve read a book, when you read the book, how long it took you to read it throughout the month, What days you read versus what days you did not read, etc, this may not be the device for you because the software/environment is just not there yet. I wish I had known that before purchasing. I do miss those insights from Kindle, but I will say I enjoy the feel and look and hardware of the Kobo more than the Kindle Oasis. I also obviously love that there is color, and highlighting and taking notes with the pen has become something I can’t live without. The battery life is super impressive, I read a lot, and I barely ever have to charge this thing, I’d say it’s about the same as the Kindle oasis. You can upload news articles with the pocket app and read them on your kobo as well as library books which I think is super cool and was easy to figure out how to do, I don’t really think that Kindle allows you to do that, but I may be wrong. The brightness on the kobo is a little bit different than the Kindle, I think that it might come off as a little bit of a harsher light, but I do love that it’s adjustable by just dragging your finger up and down the side of the screen, which is so handy. I will say I think that Kindle has a better Kindle unlimited selection versus kobo plus subscription if you’re into fantasy romance novels. I can’t really speak to other genres, but I have noticed that a lot of the books I wanted to read were not available with my subscription, unfortunately, but there is a pretty good reward points system with the Kobo at least. The Kobo is definitely lighter than the Kindle Oasis, because it is made from recycled plastic instead of Metal. If that is important to you, you are making the right choice going with Kobo. ... show more
