It's a Good E-Reader and a Good E-Journal

I have been looking for a digital notebook for a while, but the price tag on other products was a bit out of my budget. When I saw a review for this project I was pretty excited. I am an avid reader, and I love ereaders. I was interested in trying something other than my kindle. So this seemed perfect, and e reader and an e notebook. It has been fantastic. I love making notes in the books that I'm reading, and I read exclusively on the kobo now. It's of course very portable. So far it's perfectly reliable, as long as I sync it from the home page regularly. It took a while to learn to use the kindle, and then it took a while to learn to use the Kobo, but now that I'm used to it it's very easy to use. The battery life is good. I love the slight color on the screen, but it's definitely muted. The notebook feature is perfect. You can make folders to organize the different notebooks. Its simple, and not overwhelming. I'm happy with the accessories I chose: random case with a stylus strap, and a meta stylus. I wanted to use it for a while before I reviewed it. I use it to journal every morning primarily because it helps for me to actually write instead of type, and I read maybe 10 hours a week or so on it. I've had this for a little less than six months, and it's still enjoyable to use. ... show more

IDK What to Put Here
Color: White
EDIT: Previously, I mistakenly stated that this has no security, but it does in the form of a PIN. I've updated my review to reflect that, and bumped it up to 5 stars This is my first eReader so I have no comparison of performance compared to others. I'll list the cons first in case there are any deal-breakers for people, then they can stop reading and look for something else. Cons: -No SD/microSD slot -No NAS drive option -No headphone jack -Will get you addicted to reading Neutrals: -Looks like something from old Star Trek Pros: -Clear, readable text -Decent Colour -Readable in blinding sunlight -Super lightweight -Great battery life -Supports Google Drive, Overdrive & Dropbox -Probably won't shatter when you drop it Despite a few drawbacks, I still greatly enjoy this eReader. I don't foresee myself needing more than 32GB of storage for books, as I'm not an audio book guy (yet), and even so, I can transfer anything from my laptop to the Libra anyway. But still, I do have a NAS drive and microSD cards lying around, so being able to use those would've been a nice feature for peace of mind and feeling like I didn't overspend on tech stuff (lol). Maybe one day we'll get an OTA update that let's us use NAS drives. Now for the cool stuff! I wasn't completely sold on an eReader since I already have a tablet, but I decided to buy one anyway to see what the fuss is about, and I ultimately still love this thing. It's incredibly light and doesn't tire my hands like a tablet or a book, and being able to fit so many books onto something so small still wows me. Dang it, I just love technology! Syncing this with Google Drive just makes things even better. I've never dropped this thing but it looks a lot more durable than a glass phone, or even a tablet, and I'm confident it can survive a few drops. If you're someone who frequently drops stuff, I'd still buy a case for the aesthetic, if anything- this looks like it was designed by the same people who designed Star Trek Voyager computers. But maybe that's the case for all eReaders, no pun intended. Thanks to my allergies, I dislike going outside, but I did bother to test it in direct, blinding, sunburnable light and the brightness still makes things more than readable. If you're someone who likes to pretend they're a White Lotus character and reads on the beach with sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat, this can be a part of your prop arsenal. Personally, I like to read in bed before I go to sleep and I haven't dropped it on my face yet. As far as colour is concerned, it doesn't look as nice as my tablet or phone, but maybe that's asking too much. Apparently, colour eReaders are a mindblowing new thing so it might wow you. I haven't fully converted and sub'd to their book shop, so I can't comment on the experience there; I still have my Kindle Unlimited sub still active and may also buy a Kindle to see how the experience compares. I do notice that the Kindle app on my tablet tries to sell me new books hardcore and is way more in my face than this shop's. Despite that, I might end up with two book subs since it's current_Year and everyone has 10 streaming subs anyway. Carrying around two eReaders is definitely not as physically demanding as carrying two thick books. If you have the expendable income, why not have the best of both worlds? In short, this Libra Colour is gas. I've reconnected to my nerdy childhood and I'm reading tonnes more thanks to it. For anyone who loves reading, this is an amazing experience with ridiculous battery life compared to a phone or tablet, and won't strain your eyes. 5 Ryan Reynolds'! ... show more

I do love it, but Bluetooth requires Wi-Fi to be on! Mod it Nickel Menu to only toggle on bt
Color: White
One full day in and I've already finished a book on it, so take that as a compliment to the screen and the form factor. The problem: you can't run Bluetooth without Wi-Fi. This isn't just my unit — Kobo's own support pages say so, and I didn't know it when I bought it. My whole library is sideloaded, so I don't need Wi-Fi at all. I wanted Bluetooth for a page-turner remote to read hands-free in bed, because my hands get ice cold. The battery dropped 50% in a single day. That's not the "weeks of battery" this is sold on. A firmware update did fix a related bug where both radios switched themselves back on after I'd turned them off, but there's still no way to run Bluetooth alone. So I'll probably fall back on the page-turner I already own, the kind with a little tapper that sticks to the screen and physically taps it — no Bluetooth needed. Clunky, but I'd rather have weeks of battery than a day. Two things I had to figure out myself: Using a MagSafe case or PopSocket ring? Go to Energy saving and privacy and uncheck "Automatically sleep and wake," or the magnet puts the device to sleep and it stays asleep. Reading stats are buried in settings instead of on the home screen of the book you're reading. What I like: the page-turn buttons are excellent — first e-reader I've enjoyed holding. Amazon should bring back a button model to compete. Sideloading works out of the box, which is why I bought it. I may still mod it with KOReader later for better stats, but it's nice that I don't have to. (Kobo's new StoryGraph integration doesn't track sideloaded books, so it's useless to me anyway.) Three stars. A mechanical screen-tapper being smarter than the device's own Bluetooth tells you where this falls short. Update I figured out how to toggle on Bluetooth without Wifi turning on. With Nickel Menu. So now 4 stars if you side load and don't need Wifi to turn on with it draining your battery. I really was hoping out of the box I would not want or need to mod it but here we are. Search youtube & reddit for help if you are not a techie. But its way easier than the Kindle. :) ... show more

Insane Battery!
Color: Black
Review Image by Blaze Boykin
In the past year or so I have gotten back into reading. I read about 10 physical books before I decided I couldn't afford to buy physical copies of every book with how fast I would read through them. I also really don't enjoy reading paperbacks, so I figured I could get an e-reader for those and any other books I didn't specifically want a hardback for. Did some research online and decided on the Kobo Libra Colour. I. LOVE. THIS. EREADER. It's simple and straight-forward. It's small, lightweight, and easy to hold. The page turn buttons are one of my favorite parts, especially since I can flip the screen whichever direction I want. The screen refresh is a little awkward but there's a setting to minimize how often it does it. You can adjust the brightness until there is no backlight at all. I keep the brightness at about 15% in a somewhat lit room and 2% in a pitchblack room, and I have only had to charge this thing ONCE in a whole month. I received it Aug 7, charged it fully and read AT LEAST 2hrs a day and by Sept 3 it is still at 8% charge. I've read 4 books of roughly 450pages in that time frame (with some breaks here and there). I did purchase a cover for it just recently. With slim, lightweight technology comes fragility. I dropped it once and it did not take any damage, but I didn't want to put it at risk again. Lots of fun covers online for it! So much customizable options! ... show more

My second favorite e-reading device next to my Kindles
Color: White
First disclosure: I am very invested in the Amazon ecosystem and own thousands of ebooks through there as well as own many of their reading devices like the Paperwhite Signature Edition, Kindle Oasis, Kindle Basic, Kindle Scribe, and multiple Kindle Fires. I was tempted to buy the Kobo Libra Colour because I loved the form factor of how it looks like a Kindle Oasis (discontinued), but in white with page-turning buttons and using e-ink color. The day I saw the Kindle Colorsoft announced and saw that it did not have page turning buttons, and that it was basically a Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition with color e-ink- I ordered the Kobo Libra Colour. I was a bit tortured over this because it's a totally different ecosystem and I have no intention of ordering books from the Kobo Store. I also have no intention of going through the computer gymnastics of converting my purchased kindle books into files that can be read on the Kobo. I have too many, and I love/prefer my Amazon reading devices anyway. I justified my purchase of the Kobo Libra Colour with the fact that it has Libby/OverDrive integrated right on the device so I can borrow my library books right there. I also had a bunch of other ebook files I transferred from my computer to the Kobo for offline reading. Lastly, I sometimes get protected DRM ebook files to read and review that can't be read on a Kindle, so I'm able to drag them onto the Kobo using Adobe Digital Editions on my computer. So this Kobo device has very limited use for me, since I can already have Libby/OverDrive send my borrowed ebooks to my Kindle. This was a luxury buy simply because I'm an ereader collector and it looked like a beautiful reading device with page turning buttons. After using it I struggled with the possibility of returning it for a refund, since it was totally unnecessary for my needs. However, after decorating the back of it with some bookish stickers and a clear case, and using it for my free public library borrows (after all, I can see the bookcovers in color) I decided to keep it. I like the fact that you can simply run your finger up and down the left side of the screen to adjust the brightness. I have the Natural Light setting on automatic so that it gradually includes "warmth" lighting as the evening sets in. I don't like the extra steps I have to go through to get to "Dark Mode" with the black background for night reads. You have to open up settings and go to a page 2 in Settings to select Dark Mode. On the kindles you very simply swipe down from the top of the screen and tap the icon "Dark Mode". The color on the Kobo Libra Colour is muted and washed out, but I expected that because it's an e-ink device, not an android tablet or iPad. The screen is quite lovely for reading. I don't give a hoot about comics or manga- I just want to read words. I love the white plastic casing of the Kobo Libra Colour. It's not just white, when you look closely it's a kind of frosted white that glows. It's a very pretty looking device. I think I'll keep it! *UPDATE: 5 months later and somehow there are two scratches on the screen. This is made from recycled materials, and perhaps the screen isn't that impervious to scratches. I had a clear back case and stickers on this, but switched over to a proper book-like case to protect it. A lovely device that I enjoy but not as much as my Kindles. ... show more

Love my Kobo!
Color: White
Came to this from a kindle and love it! The appearance and reliability is so great. Easy to repair and affordable for all it can do! I love the readability and portability for the size! The battery life has also far exceeded my expectations as I can read for about 30mins to an hour once a day for a full week without having to worry about charging it. ... show more

Pésimo control de calidad de pantallas KOBO

Review Image by Mike DC
No pensaba hacer una reseña pero siento que es necesario, todo potencial comprador de Kobo debe estar advertido sobre un GRAN problema que tiene esta marca: sus pantallas! Al igual que muchos lo reportan mi KLC vino con un pinhole (punto de luz brillante) y otros dos puntitos negros, pixeles muertos o píxeles atascados (apenas perceptibles, pero si te fijas bien los notas), digamos que tuve la "suerte" de que este pinhole estuviera pegado y casi que escondido junto marco derecho. Y si digo que es un problema con la marca es porque ya tuve una experiencia anterior similar con un Kobo Clara Colour, desde entonces he estado leyendo numerosas quejas en foros de Reddit también sobre lo mismo. Algunos hablan que este es un "estándar de pantalla" aceptable para la marca, lo cual de ser cierto me parece lamentable. Tengo la teoría de que simplemente no pueden permitirse descartar estas pantallas por un tema de coste, dada su competencia feroz con Amazon necesitan optimizar todo lo posible, así sea a costa de venderte pantallas defectuosas. Hui de Kindle porque detestaba su sistema cerrado y ciertas prácticas leoninas, pero a nivel de hardware son dispositivos impecables y con una calidad de construcción excepcional, eso hay que decirlo. No tengo forma de hacer valer la garantía porque estoy fuera de EEUU, terminaría gastando el triple y aún si lo hiciera por las experiencias que he leído puede llegar a ser incluso peor, recibiendo otro con más píxeles muertos que el que tenías en un principio. ... show more

Much better than any Kindle I've owned, buy it, you won't look back
Color: Black
I've had this in hand for about a week and I'm growing to love it more and more every day. First, I've owned four or five kindles over the last decade++ and while they're incredibly convenient and ubiquitous and have led the e-book charge, the operating system has always felt clunky to me… all of the features you need daily are generally three or four steps into settings. Combine that with awkwardly placed power buttons, no option for physical buttons other than the oasis which has been discontinued, the need to always have a cover with a handle in order to hold it while reading. Much more but other than the e-book idea and implementation, it's never felt natural to me. The Kobo Libra Colour, on the other hand, feels a joy to hold, it's very light, has a screen auto rotate option which, combined with the lip at the buttons, are a perfect place to put your thumb of either hand. Yes, it's a similar designed to the Oasis but the Oasis (which I own for five years until it crapped out on me after having babied it and then Amazon not supporting diagnosing/fixing) was a much heavier device and although it was formed and weighted on the side with the buttons, it always felt like holding a Lego block or something rigid and awkward in my hand. Plus it was just heavy. The Cobo Libra is kind of the same form as an Oasis but much more comfortable to hold because it's not only much, much lighter (ounces?) but also because of the slight upward lip at the buttons... your thumb on either hand just slips into that corner so easily and it's incredibly smoth to position and move from one hand to the other. I've always had cases for Kindles but after a week with the Libra, I can't convince myself to get anything other than a sleeve for it… it just feels that nice in your hand. Then there's also the color book covers and color highlights, both surprisingly pleasurable additions. But those are really bonuses, the gem is the operating system and interface which is without a doubt more focused on the READER… it does the little things well like the mentioned auto rotate view we've all grown accustomed to with cell phones. Then there are a ton of similar details in the interface... being able to increase or decrease the brightness of the screen by one simple slide touch in the upper left corner, no digging into settings. The home screen showing the most recent four books and % read, or on the same page an area where you can access all your books, another area showing just your unread books, another area showing a link to overdrive to borrow books from the library, another spot to press showing the holds you have at your library on overdrive… in other words an actual home screen giving you all your options in one view. Not trying to sell you anything, not trying to distract you by anything. Your stuff where you want it. Which is of course another fantastic feature, it lets you directly and easily rent books from your library… The focus is on getting you what you want to read and having you enjoy the experience… NOT up selling you more books. What a concept. Oh, and the power button is recessed and on the BACK of the device… So no turning it on and off accidentally when resting it somewhere. In other words, great functionality making for a pleasurable experience using it. Amazon seems to have lost that with the Kindle… like the device itself is secondary to them pushing more product. Anyway, I could go on but this is already too long. Buy it, you'll love it and just look online for ways to transfer your already purchased Kindle books over… Kobo doesn't make YOUR books proprietary, you buy them, you own and can read them anywhere in standard formats. Again, what a concept.... ... show more
