Kobo Libra Color is Worth Your Money
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!

Kobo E-Reader is the best device for reading e-books
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 lifeCons:• Incompatible with Kindle and Hoopla e-books• Occasional issues with Libby e-book support

It is great
I really like the buttons on the side, I can read with a lot of confort and being with Colour is nice too. Quality is great and I can read any book, not only the ones from one specific book store.

favorite ereader
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.

Great Reading, poor book management
I purchased primarily to use with my extensive personal collection of ebooks, for offline use. Overall satisfied, but it could use a few software improvements.This review based on experience with prior e-reader, an ancient iRiver Story HD.Pros:Screen is great, backlight very nice and very adjustable (the auto-color setting is pretty flaky though).Screen colors very acceptable for an e-ink.Refresh rate surprised me, very good.Was pretty easy loading my offline library, connected via USB, using Linux and Calibre.Size, ease of holding and turning pages are good.An inch larger would be nice, but the screen is sufficiently big and sharp enough to read most of my PDF technical books, when flipped to landscape (views a little over 1/2 page at a time).Cons:My several hundred books (epub, text and PDF) are arranged in a 2-level folder structure. My prior readier I had a folder view where I could browse by folder (/Mystery/AgathaChristie/). So far I haven’t found a similar feature on this one, makes it difficult to find the books I don’t know by title, or author.Logging out of the OverDrive account appears to clear history. !? Why on earth? Looses track of which books I’m reading or have read. Solution is to remain logged in. (Can turn off WiFi and use offline just fine when logged in to OverDrive, so it’s not a real deal-breaker.)I have a lot of books that came from Project Gutenburg in form of plain text, then got converted to epub at some point. They open and read just fine until I get to the last page(s) of the book, where it get to the Gutenburg notices, then the reader takes a very long time to move to the next page, and sometimes crashes. ?? Almost certainly a software bug, because my other reader handled these files just fine, as does Calibre.

We now own 4…
My family now owns 4 of these, if that is enough of an endorsement. We had bought them for our older daughters and then, loving them so much, for ourselves, as well. My daughters use them for school reading, as well as recreational reading. We can either borrow books from the library or buy them. They can use the stylus to annotate their reading and highlight to make completing assignments easier. We can carry books with us when we travel in small form. My family members who prefer audiobooks have that option, as well. My husband prefers to color code his highlights when he reads and this allows him that options. The e-notebook features (which can also be color coded) and the ease of writing to text and loading to the computer are also amazing features. My husband was a hardcore Kindle guy for years. I found this and he was thrilled to jump ship to this device.My only complaint is that the Libby integration isn’t perfect. They seem to freeze up when trying to return books, which is odd. I work around by returning via the Libby app on my phone. I also hate that audiobooks from Libby are not compatible for some reason. Again, we can use the phone app instead, but it would be nice if it was truly fully integrated with Libby. With that said, this is still the best ereader for utilizing the library. I have recommended this to sooooo many people.

Après avoir hésité pendant longtemps, j’ai finalement opté pour la Kobo et je suis plus que satisfaite de mon choix ! Sa taille est parfaite. Ni trop grande, ni trop petite. La colorisation est chouette. La possibilité de faire des carnets/notes rend l’objet encore plus attractif, à condition d’y ajouter le stylet (non contenu). La prise en main est facile et intuitive et la lecture vraiment agréable. L’objet est assez léger, de sorte à pouvoir se plonger toute une soirée sur un livre sans avoir le poignet cassé. En bref, aucun regret !

Just a perfect e-reader.Upgraded from Kobo Clara HD. And what an upgrade. Clara I really good, but Libra Colour is way more responsive.And since it supports Dropbox and Google drive, it is easy to sync.

Envío rápido y correcto. Bien embalado. Lo he probado poco (lo acabo de recibir) pero funciona correctamente. La pantalla responde correctamente y se nota un producto bien acabado. Aún no he probado el Bluetooth ni los audiolibros (no estoy interesado en esas opciones ). La WiFi correcta (también en la banda de los 5GHz). Nada más conectar busca actualizaciones. Parece que la interfaz está mejorada respecto a modelos anteriores (Kobo Libra 2 es el último que tengo). Los colores se ven bien, hay que tener en cuenta que no es una tablet ni un PC, no tienen ese brillo ni son los mismos tipos de pantalla. No creo que se puedan realizar comparaciones objetivas. No tienen nada que ver. Resumiendo, estoy contento con la compra realizada.

I don’t know why I didn’t get one sooner. This is so much better than any other e-reader I’ve owned. Being able to read books from my local library is a game changer.
