  • 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

  • Kobo Libra Color offers good e-ink color, lightweight ergonomics, and extensive customization.
Color: White
Versatile E-Reader with Color and Flexible Display Options I’ve been using the Kobo Libra Color for several weeks now, and I’m thoroughly impressed by its combination of features, ergonomics, and vibrant display. Here are the highlights: • Fun Color Screen: The full-color display brings book covers to life, especially in graphic novels and cookbooks. It’s great without sacrificing battery life. • Multiple View Modes: I love being able to toggle between list view, grid view, and detailed covers—depending on whether I’m quickly browsing or savoring each title’s artwork. • Customizable Reading Settings: From font choices and margins to background shading and line spacing, you can tailor the reading experience precisely to your preferences. • Comfortable Form Factor: The ergonomic page-turn buttons on both sides make one-handed reading effortless, and the edge-lighting remains gentle on the eyes, day or night. • Lightweight & Natural Feel: At just 192 g (6.77oz), the Libra Color is light. Its slightly textured back feels natural in hand, reducing fatigue during long reading sessions. • Optional Pen & Handwriting Conversion: With the optional Kobo Stylus, you can jot notes or mark up pages freehand—and have your handwriting automatically converted into typed text. It turns your reader into a true digital notebook. • Protective Covers Available: There are many stylish covers to choose from for added protection—just keep in mind that a cover will add some extra weight and bulk. • Library Organization: Sorting by author, title, or “Most Recent” works seamlessly, and the Collections feature makes it easy to group books by theme or genre. Suggestions for Improvement: • Always-On Clock Option: It would be fantastic to have a setting that permanently displays the current time in the corner of the screen—especially for those of us who read in short bursts throughout the day. • Series Ordering Feature: Currently, adding books to a series can feel a bit convoluted. A simpler, more intuitive way to flag and auto-sort series entries would make keeping track of trilogies or multi-book sagas much easier. Overall, the Kobo Libra Color strikes an excellent balance between cutting-edge features and user-friendly design. Whether you’re a casual reader or a bibliophile with a diverse collection, this reader delivers performance and flexibility that rival much more expensive models. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • Perfect E-Reader!
Color: White
Have been loving this e-reader. What convinced me to buy this was the Overdrive integration built in. Its so easy to borrow books and the interface is easy to navigate. There are also no ads built into it (like the Kindle has). I also love the color aspect of it, for both highlighting, and seeing book covers in color. The battery also lasts a while, with moderate use (at least 3 hrs per day) I've only had to charge it once a week or so. ... show more

  • Very nice ereader
Color: White
I have really been enjoying reading ebooks again. I like that I can sort books by series and it's fun to see book covers in color. I recently purchased an ebook with color illustrations and it was great to be able to zoom in on the images.

  • My favorite e-reader!
Color: White
I adore my Kobo Libra Colour! I read on it all the time—it’s honestly become my favorite way to read. The page turn buttons are a total game-changer (so comfy!), and the color screen adds such a nice touch without being overwhelming. It’s super easy to navigate, and I love that it’s ad-free—no distractions, just reading. The lock screen shows the cover of your current read and your reading progress, which is such a nice detail. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, reader-first device, this one’s a win! ... show more

  • Great but not for klutzes!
Color: White
I’m on my second one. I’m a klutz and drop lots of things (including my first one of these). Saw this was repairable so I skipped the extra insurance. However, it’s pretty much impossible to get the parts to fix it! So needless to say I spent the $30 on the extra insurance the second time around.
