Game Changer
I am very pleased with this, and I'm pleased that I chose it as my first colour, e-ink reader - something I have been looking at for some time, It’s much better than any of the Kindle readers I have owned. One standout feature is the **Google Drive integration**, which makes adding your ownbooks incredibly easy and convenient.The eReader is lightweight, making it perfect for on-the-go reading. Another fantastic aspect is that it is fully repairable by the user – you can even replace the battery yourself! This is a huge plus for those who value sustainability and longevity in their devices.The display offers vibrant color saturation, which can be further enhanced by switching to "developer mode." This is a simple process, and there are plenty of YouTube videos available to guide you through it. The display is also glare-free, making reading comfortable even in bright sunlight¹.Additionally, the Kobo Libra Colour supports a wide range of file formats, including EPUB, PDF, and MOBI, giving you the flexibility to read almost any book you want. The device also features something kobo calls **ComfortLight PRO**, which reduces blue light exposure, making it easier on the eyes during nighttime reading.Overall, I highly recommend the Kobo Libra Colour for anyone looking to enhance their reading experience with a versatile, user-friendly, and sustainable Reader! It's also, for a colour reader especially, very cheap. Now, if only they would bring down the price of the stylus that goes with it.

Amazing eReader
Love the Kobo Libra Color. Importing is easy, colour isn't super vibrant but nice to have for comic books. Good font and screen settings, additional can be added. The notebook takes getting used to and can only be used with the stylus. Love the dictionary and notes option while reading books as well.

Great alternative to a kindle
The Kobo Libra Colour E-Reader has been an excellent upgrade for me! The side buttons are a standout feature, similar to my older kindle, making it incredibly easy to navigate through books and hold the device comfortably during long reading sessions. The colour screen has exceeded my expectations, especially when reading comics—though it can’t completely replace the experience of printed material, it’s a fantastic way to carry and enjoy multiple comics on the go.I also purchased the stylus, and so far, it’s been great for note-taking. It’s responsive and smooth to use, though I do wish there was an option to sync notes with OneDrive. Google Drive works fine, but having more options would be a nice touch.One of the biggest perks has been the ability to connect to my local library and borrow books for free—this has been such a game-changer! The transition from my Kindle was seamless, and I have no regrets about making the switch. Overall, this is a solid e-reader that I’m very happy with.

Almost Perfect Alternative to Kindle
Coming from an older Paperwhite, this is an almost perfect replacement if you want to expand outside of the Kindle ecosystem-system. The colour screen and the physical buttons are very nice, and the user interface is easier to navigate than the Kindle.The only drawback, and this is a major one for me, is that there is no ability to search within the text of your entire library. I’m currently reading through a large series, and I frequently search for characters that have been introduced in earlier books to remind myself of their background. The Kindle allows you to highlight a character name and search through your entire library, Kobo is restricted only to the current book.Otherwise, it’s a very good alternative to the Kindle.

Brilliant reader
I love this. It is nice and easy to use and the form factor makes it perfect for one handed reading (with the other hand under the covers, or to rest my head on. It's nice and light, so no hand strain from holding it up even after an hour or so. The colour is nice but a little useless, I mean the colours are good, but the screen is just a bit small for reading comics on and the only part of books that are in colour are the covers. If you want a primary comic reader, get something a bit bigger. The surface tablet is ideal for me, but maybe I just have bad eyesight!?! The backlight is nice and bright and can be scaled right back so it's a soft glow depending on need. Perfect reader that has me reading way more than I did before buying it.

Good quality, good interface, a few minor problems that aren't make or break for me.
The screen quality is good with no problems when it comes to reading, nice adjustable brightness and nighttime mode, not too heavy to hold and quite comfortable in your hands. The screen is slightly smaller than an average book but for smaller hands it fits perfectly. The colour isn't amazing but it isn't bad either it is definitely good enough for reading as long as your books aren't mainly in colour.

Ideal for travel reading & notebook/journal on the go
I've had a Kindle Scribe for approx a year. I use that mainly for notes/journals and now that I've a metal tip on my pen, I'm very happy with it. But, I find the Scribe format too large for travel. The Kobo Libra Colour fits nicely into that niche. I've now had it around 2 months. It's lovely as a reader and the colour aspect just makes it a little nicer. It's possible to highlight etc in colour, but that glitches the display a bit & not something I use regularly. Just reading with it is easy & comfortable. Then, for note-taking: well, not as fluid, or comfortable for writing as the Scribe. But, for travel, it's the right format and familiar interface. Writing isn't as smooth as the Scribe, but bearable. So, primarily a reader with note-taking ability if it's what you've got with you is how I'd describe it. I still use my Scribe for notes at home, but prefer reading on the Kobo wherever I am. The additional notebook case works well with the official stylus, keeping it securely out the way while reading, but always available. The cost of the stylus a bit naff - if you have a MS surface pen or equivalent you might get by with that, but I did find the stylus better in the end. I'm very pleased with the Kobo Libra Colour, but maybe due to the niche use I was looking to fill.
