Kobo Libra Colour | eReader | 7” Glare-Free Colour E Ink Kaleido 3 Display | Dark Mode Option | Audiobooks | Waterproof | 32GB of Storage | White

Having been a Kindle (basic) user for 6 years, these are my thoughts on this device; 1. Screen is significantly dim when front-light is Off. I almost never used front-lighting on my old device; but on Libra Colour, although I can manage to read without front-lighting while in a moderately lit room, having had come from the Kindle's bright white screen, the lack of contrast is evident. But you do get used to it, fast. However, for those comfortable reading with the front-lighting On, this shouldn't be a problem, as upping the light to around 15% solves the dimming problem in some ways. 2. As expected, the colours are very muted/mild in nature. 3. Larger 7-inch screen with a smooth curved edge is a pleasure to hold and read-on. No issues faced reading for many hours straight. 4. Battery backup is excellent, as was in the Kindle. 5. I haven't had any problems with moderately larger eBooks (approx. 95 MB). If anyone's having any issues on this, please do read about converting epub to kepub format (using Calibre or kepubify website). 6. Page-turn buttons are fantastic to use and make it very easy to get spoiled by their convenience. 7. I like Kobo's interface a lot better than Kindle's - it's a lot more customisable, clean and is so much less intrusive. 8. Since I had always liked the Kindle's "Bookerly" font, sideloading "Bookerly" to Kobo was one of the first thing I did on it. 9. Google drive & Dropbox integration works fine, though Calibre is still my go-to-means for transferring ebooks. 10. As of now, sideloaded ebooks are not synched by Kobo (as opposed to "Send to Kindle" functionality). Bought the device for around Rs.17,600 during a sale and for that price, I feel it offers great value for money.

Decided to get this after looking up many reviews on YouTube and various review sites. I previously used to have a regular non backlit kindle (probably a 2nd gen). Got this at a slightly lower than MRP price (~18.6k after bank discounts) but worked out as much as it would if you were buying it from abroad (USD $220 MRP). Here is my unstructured review. Colour display - something new, and comics look nice, although not very easy to read on the smaller screen unless you zoom. The colors are not what you'd expect from an led display like a phone, so keep your expectations in check, the tech for that isn't there yet. However, this was not a big deal for me. Physical buttons - now this was important to me. I like touch screen displays generally, but it just isn't as nice when reading a book. The two buttons make turning pages very simple for the hand. The thumb just rests in a button, and press for the page turn. You can still use touch/swipe on screen, but I don't find myself using that as much. Software setup and UI - Very simple to get it started, and some level of customization for the library, although would have liked to have more freedom with organizing/hiding/folders etc. Epubs work without any conversion. I was able to link my google drive account and transfer books via my phone this way. The settings aren't too complicated to find your way around. Other good things about this that I won't get into - good form factor, waterproof, charges quickly, decent battery life (~20h with backlight 40% and reading book, not tested for comic), power button placement, USB C connectivity. Nice to have, but I've not used these fratures - repairable, can use a stylus (some 3rd party ones too), audio books. Also picked up the official cover, fits well, easy to hold, feels good to touch (faux leather). Only thing I wished for is that this was available at a lower price. But I couldn't wait for a price drop, as I had a huge backlog, and I was wasting precious time in travel not really doing anything productive. The cover wasn't cheap either, but no other 3rd party options available as yet, and I can't let an expensive device like this get scratches in my bag.

Go for it, integration of loading google Drive file give it's superiority over kindle paperwhite it's worth the price, brightness is good, battery life last for more than enough and it's easy to use. Everything is best.

I’m happy to have bought this product, and I’ve been using it smoothly for over a month now. There are no issues with charging or battery life—over the last 45 days, I’ve had to charge it only twice. I’ve also noticed that it doesn’t strain my eyes, which makes reading very comfortable. However, I’ve observed a problem when reading Bengali books. The device doesn’t render complex Bengali characters properly (letters that combine to form conjunct characters). Instead of displaying them as a single combined glyph, the characters appear broken, which affects the reading experience. I tried downloading and installing Bengali fonts, but that didn’t solve the issue. I have shared this feedback with the Kobo team, and they responded that they will try to address the problem in their next update.

Our daughter ordered the e reader after seeing the description, the first one had a black spot on the display, second had a blackout area and the last one attempt came with a couple of dead pixels at this point it was close to 4 months of waiting and finally said that is it. We got a full refund but the hopes were let down.

Très bien. Couleur et modèle comme sur la photo

Geri dönüştürülmüş materyalden yapıldığı belli fakat kullanım olarak oldukça yeterli. Dezavantaj olarak malesef kalem koyma yeri yok.

La custodia è stupenda . Perfetta per il kobo libra color . Ha anche lo scomparto magnetico per la penna . La qualità è ottima . Sembra vera pelle. Vale il prezzo che costa

Adapts perfectly and the color is very cute
