  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 95% perfection
Color: Black
Great experience. Was a little surprised by some of the trade-offs of a color screen - reduced contrast and a kind of screen door effect. Kobo software is incredibly open and consumer friendly - I'm able to sync effortlessly with my calibre Web instance. It's repairable. Decent ecosystem for add ons - I like my folio case and stylus 2, the notes are useful. ... show more

  • I’m Converted
Color: White
I loved the idea of seeing my book covers in color, but didn’t want an actual tablet. This fits the bill, even though the colors are muted. I can see enough of a difference to make me happy. If I look carefully I can see the sharpness is less than other e-ink readers, but I feel like it looks more like paper (I almost want to smell the book lol). I also like the physical buttons. Page turning is fractionally slower than my kindle, but not so much that I can’t handle it. Overall, I’m happy with it! ... show more

  • Great product and ecosystem
Color: Black
Very happy with my purchase after 1 month. The device itself is well-built, and I’m happy with the Kobo store and Overdrive integration. I usually buy cheap accessories but this time bought the Kobo pen and case - these two accessories are well designed and make for a really nice final package. I would love to see a replacement for ‘Pocket’ and a more fleshed out browser in the future. ... show more

  • BUYER BEWARE- NO REPLACEMENT FOR DEFECTIVE DEVICES
Color: White
I received a defective device that only worked for two days before becoming stuck on the sleeping screen. I contacted the Kobo company themselves and after attempting to hard reset and factory reset the device multiple times they told me to return it for a replacement on Amazon. Blue Proton originally told me that I would need to select “replace” option to replace this default device, however since they are a third party seller, there is no such button. The first time I called Amazon support I was told that Blue Proton would need to replace it or could potentially become blacklisted from selling on Amazon. I went back and forth between Blue Proton and Amazon, each side saying they could not force the other to give me a replacement, but that it would be replaced. Finally Amazon said they cannot make Blue Proton replace my device, only refund it. The device is now $40 more expensive than when I bought it and I may now be forced to pay a restocking fee for a DEFECTIVE DEVICE. I would not recommend buying this item- if you get a defective device , they will not replace it and Amazon will give you the run around. There is no reason why I’m not getting a replacement and may have to pay to send the item back. So extremely disappointed in both parties involved when I enjoyed the device for the two days it worked. Now I can’t afford to buy another at the inflated price, which is unfortunate since I thought the device was awesome while it worked. ... show more
