  • 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

  • Kobo E-Reader is the best device for reading e-books
Color: White
The Kobo is the best device for reading e-books in my opinion. Its strengths include a wide variety of font choices, allowing me to customize text for optimal comfort and readability. The device’s wide edge design makes it easy and comfortable to hold (especially compare to Kindle e-reader or iPad mini). It has an impressive battery life, letting me read books without frequent recharging. However, there are some limitations. It does not support e-books from Kindle or Hoopla, and compatibility with Libby can be inconsistent. Pros: • Extensive font customization options • Comfortable wide-edge design for easy handling • Long-lasting battery life Cons: • Incompatible with Kindle and Hoopla e-books • Occasional issues with Libby e-book support ... show more

  • Absolutely wonderful
Color: Black
Pros: Super simple to setup. When I say setup in including overdrive (if you don’t know it’s a way to check out library book virtually. I don’t have a physical card just an online card) Online book portals like project Gutenberg are a breeze. It uses google drive or drop box to sync. No more downloading to computer and then moving over Page turn buttons (yay) and they flip if you are left or right handed. And the buttons are snappy and responsive. It’s an ereader of course the color isn’t on the same level for a lot of electronics but for the purpose it serves it’s perfectly suitable. I LOVE I didn’t have to pay a premium price to remove ads. battery life is pretty good if you don’t have WiFi turned on. If you like to pay the subscription it’s 7.99 a month for ebooks and 9.99 for ebook and audio book. And I did a free month and the selection is pretty stellar. I think the thing I like the most is the integrity of the company not wanting to create highway robbery with prices and features. Cons I like the idea of the journaling and notes but I feel like the stylus is a bit expensive. Granted I have an iPad Pro but the kobo is obviously smaller and easier for simple lists. I’ve been told there are aftermarket stylus but I have not looked. The cases available have no way to store the stylus. I’m not a fan of the natural light option. I use it I just have the auto feature turned off. My opinion: I am honestly relieved to be moved off of the kindle platform. I hav no complaints at all. ... show more

  • favorite ereader
Color: Black
absolutely love this ereader. I have the B&W clara 2, and love that one as well. the Libra Colour feels more alive when i'm reading. the screen hasn't given me any issues so far, except once or twice that "gradient" has shown up; it isn't as big of a deal as i thought it would be. it is minor and hardly noticeable. for brightness, i have had zero issues. it has the lovely warm setting too and both are bright. i can read at night or during the day just fine (i am younger and have great vision, but my mom can also read just fine and she is postmenopausal w/glasses). The ereader has survived a couple knocks off the furniture from my cats, being lugged around in backpacks around town, in cars, and on planes. no scratches or anything. the buttons are wonderfully fun to use and navigating the settings is easy. i absolutely LOVE the google drive connectivity, it makes work so much easier. all in all, highly recommend this ereader. my only issue is that crumbs can get stuck in the lip (but the lip also gives it that book feel) and a good blow with canned air clears it out. ... show more

  • Physical Buttons and Waterproofing Sold Me
Color: Black
I bought this because I needed an e reader that could handle getting splashed at the pool, in the tub, or during travel, and I wanted physical page turn buttons. On those fronts, it absolutely delivers. The screen includes a color layer, but for my use, it hasn't really come into play. I mostly read black and white text, and since I keep the device in a case, even the color book covers aren't front and center. Some people might find the color useful depending on their reading habits or apps, but for me, it's not a factor either way. What I do appreciate is the backlight. It works just as well as my older generation Kindle Paperwhite, and I like that this device includes a night mode that shifts the light to a warmer tone. It makes reading in the dark much more comfortable. The display isn’t quite as sharp as the Paperwhite, and the color layer adds a slight texture that gives a faint screen door effect. It’s noticeable if you’re looking for it, but not a dealbreaker, and I got used to it quickly. Where this reader shines is in durability and daily use. I’ve taken it on plenty of trips, tossed it in bags, and finished a lot of books without issues. For the around 230 dollars I spent it’s been well worth the price. I don’t use the pen, so I can’t speak to that feature. Personally, I’d love a version of this device without the pen and color tech to cut costs and maybe improve clarity, but what’s here works fine. It’s not pocket friendly, especially in a case, but might fit in a cargo pocket if needed. I usually carry a messenger or satchel, so portability hasn’t been a problem. If you’re looking for a water resistant ereader with physical buttons, good lighting, and solid performance on the road, this one’s worth considering. ... show more
