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’m in love with this device. My only cons are 1. Once you adjust your font size, the page numbers aren’t accurate. For example, for the Kindle, if the book is 100 pages, even if you were to adjust the font size to be bigger or smaller, the pages are still 100. For the kobo, if you adjust the font to be bigger or smaller, it’ll no longer be 100 pages. It sucks because I want to know the accurate page I’m on in the book. 2. At least for me, it’s really hard to save and export my notations and highlights. Other than that, it’s a wonderful device. 10/10 would recommend

I’m newer to the e reader world. I got the kindle scribe but just didn’t use it because it’s too big and heavy to bring with me and read where I want to read. This little kobo changed my whole world! I love it so so much. My love of reading has been revived because of this thing. The color is cool and looks very nice. The weight is nice and light, even with a case on it. Fits in so many bags and purses, so it comes everywhere with me. I definitely recommend at least trying it out if you’re looking for an e reader!

So far I've really enjoyed this e reader! I have seen a few reviews mention that the screen isn't as nice as a regular black and white reader, which I can see that being true, but since I do not own and haven't ever used a b/w reader, that's not a problem for me personally. It does sort of have a hazy look to it, and the colors are muted when you do look at stuff in color, but it's not a problem for me personally. However, if you're looking for a more smooth look, I do hear b/w are better. Just be aware, if you try to load your own books onto it, it may end up lagging and even freezing your device. I had to delete all the books I loaded on from my laptop because of that issue. Otherwise, I really haven't had any problems. I've enjoyed it a lot! Despite bring a physical book lover, this reader has really helped me read more, because I can lay in bed and not worry about shadows and poor lighting. I also love the blue light filter. But yes, again, look into a b/w one if you're not really planning to read much in color. I mainly got the color one so I could use the highlighter in different colors, since I'm using it for books for classes. Overall, I do recommend this product!

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.
