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!

Better than my Amazon device, any day of the week. It's not locked down, and it has buttons! It has more features, it's easier to borrow from my library, I can cloud upload anything I want via Google. Build quality feels good. No creaking sounds, no "ghosting" on the screen, the larger than average screen, and it turns pages faster than I could with a book

Best reader I’ve ever owned. Bright, light, and long battery. Simple software, but feature rich. Let’s you connect your library card. So cool! It doesn’t lock you in to any environment at all. Really, really good.

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.

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.

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.
