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!

I've owned a Kindle Paperwhite for 11 years and decided to upgrade since the newer e-readers now have a more gentle backlight with less blue light. I bought both the new Paperwhite and the Kobo Libra Colour to compare side by side. The Paperwhite was hardly an upgrade from my 11 year old device--plus it is heavier, larger, and harder to hold. The Kobo is much more lightweight, comfortable, and ergonomic with the wide side bar and physical page turn buttons. I can easily and comfortably hold it with one hand. The user interface on the Kobo is also much cleaner and less in your face Amazon-store-junky. I can also access Libby directly from Kobo to easily check out library books. I love how you can change the screen brightness by just swiping up and down on the left of the screen instead of having to go into the menus. As for the downsides, I wish the screen was a tad brighter since I almost always have to have at least 15-20% brightness turned on. The color is also a nice touch but I wouldn't say it's vibrant. Overall, I find reading on the Kobo a lot more comfortable and natural than on the Kindle. I would probably only return to the Kindle if they brought back the Oasis and cleaned up their user interface.

I love the page turn buttons and ease of use. Loading books on is very simple. The integration with Libby right on the Kobo is nice for borrowing books from the library. The screen is a bit darker than the Kindle Paperwhite because of the color, but you don’t notice it unless comparing side by side.

This is the first dedicated ereader I've bought and I love it! As a voracious reader, I started only using ebooks because my place was small. I used the Kindle app on my phone and tablet. I didn't think an ereader was needed. With Amazon changing its policy on ebooks, I really didn't want to have much to do with Kindle. I bought the Kobo Libra Colour. It arrived last Tuesday. I liked the buttons that change pages, but what sold me was the stylus. I wanted to write in the notes section to keep a journal. I found out I love having a dedicated ereader! My phone and tablet always sent me notifications interrupting my reading. I'd stop reading to answer the notifications. I don't do that with the Kobo. I love the e-ink! It's easy to read. I love the screen. You can easily adjust the brightness, the colors are beautiful and easy on the eyes. I like the size; I always thought my 8 inch tablet was the perfect size for reading books, but this is better. Plus, it fits easily in either hand. It seems durable; the buttons work great as does the pen I bought I got a Metapen for half the price. Although I haven't had it a full week, I'm keeping it and will recommend it to anyone!

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.
