Review: Great ebook reader! - I've been using the Kobo Libra Color for 3 months now. I had previously used Kindle Paperwhite and its predecessors for many years. I had a few reasons for buying the Libra Color. One was that I really wanted to have some color capability, even knowing the limitations (IE they are more like pastels than bright vivid colors). Another factor was the Kindles I had been using up to that point had 6" screens, which was just a little too small. Next I wanted some physical buttons. The older Kindles I used had buttons (but not my most recent ones), and really missed that. Finally, an additional factor was the device being more open and allowing more customization and sideloading of software, etc. I have to say, the Kobo is just about perfect in every way. The extra space on the side to hold the device makes the ergonomics vastly better. I swapped the button mapping (by default, the top button is previous page, the bottom button is next page), because my thumb naturally rests on the top button when holding it, so it makes the most sense to me to use that button to go to the next page. When I get tired of holding it with one hand and want to switch sides, the device automatically flips the display around as soon as I rotate it. That can include reading landscape as well, but I typically read it portrait. The backlight is great, and the ability to control the backlight level by swiping up or down the leftmost side of the display is fantastic. On my Kindle, in daytime, I would put the backlight at 1 so that if I next turned it on in the dark I could see enough to operate the settings menu and navigate to turn the backlight on. With the Libra Color that isn't even a concern - just swipe upwards on the very left side of the screen and the backlight comes on to whatever level I choose. The fact that the device is much more open (from a software and control perspective) makes me feel better that I'm not being watched by Big Brother in everything I do. I normally do not purchase ebooks from desertcart, so not having that walled garden and marketplace is not a concern for me. The 7" screen is a surprisingly large upgrade from the 6" I was using on the Kindles. One wouldn't think that adding a single inch to the screen would make much difference, but IMO it makes all the difference in the world. I feel the aspect ratio and size is perfect, and I don't want anything bigger or anything smaller. It hits the sweet spot. Doing some math, the Libra Color's 7" display has 35% more area than a 6" Kindle, which makes a big difference. As far as processing and handling media, I threw a 500 MB 200 page PDF of a full color comic at it, wondering how fast it could load it, change pages, etc, and it is remarkably fast. My screenshot is of a page of that comic in landscape mode. It's PDF reading ability is very good. Assuming you aren't zoomed in, then hitting the Forwards / Backwards button on a PDF in landscape mode will scroll up or down the page until you reach the top or bottom (depending on if you're going forwards or backwards) and then go to the next or previous page. So it works just like you would expect when reading a PDF landscape. There's not a whole lot more to say. The ergonomics are great (VERY thin and light, the wider side with a little flair to hold it is great), the battery life is extremely long, the performance is very good and the updates are quick and the UI is responsive. The features of the software are very good as well. The color is good but expect more like pastels than very bright vivid colors - that's pretty much the nature of eink technology at this point. One downside, which is addressable by installing third party software and setting some stuff up online, is if you want a unified reading experience (like being able to read on your phone, iPad, Libra Color, etc) and sync your reading progress across them all, you won't get it out of the box like you will with Kindle. You will have to use a different reader besides the one built in, which requires a little more effort and technical prowess to pull off.
Review: GET IT, YOU WON'T REGRET IT - December 2025: I have only had this thing for about one week so take my review with a grain of salt. I ABSOLUTELY love it! I think it is one of THE best purchases I've ever made. I did a lot of research on this device before I bought it (not so much on other e-readers) and I found that all the features that this thing had to offer was something I absolutely wanted! As you can see I've already added over 500 books to my reader and it still has 18.5GB still available for content! And I added a lot of manga volumes so I'm very happy there's still a lot of space left! (FYI, total storage is 32GB) I even added Sudoku books, coloring books, and crossword puzzles on this device in hopes of using it instead of bringing my Sudoku out to places since it can be written on, to be honest I don't know how well these types of books will work as I don't have a pen yet to test out the writing feature but I imagine that it'll work just fine. The only thing that might not work as well as I hope MIGHT be the coloring feature, as this isn't a coloring device it's a "mark up and annotate" device, but I figure I like to just fiddle around sometimes while I'm out and about and I don't need something perfect to color, I just need to keep my hands busy. And if the coloring doesn't work as I planned I bet the puzzles and Sudoku will work just fine for times I don't necessarily want to read. But I have hundreds of regular books and manga's I can read if all else fails! So I'm not worried! I wanted an e-reader so I don't spend so much time on my phone doom-scrolling. I also thought this might save the wallet and physical space in the long run as I won't be buying as many books and having to store them since this device connects to my local library and I can check out books! There's a couple things I don't like about this reader, when I imported my e-books all the covers were all sorts of different sizes, and it drove me absolutely nuts, so I stuck my books in Calibre and had all the covers sized as 1072x1448, if you have Calibre get the "resize cover" plugin and select all your books and set it to this size and it'll automatically set all your covers to this size and that way it'll fit perfectly on your screen and also make all the covers the same size when you are browsing your library. As for the battery life, I really need to let it drain the majority of the way down and then charge it again to actually start seeing how accurate this device is in terms of how long it'll last. Because this device is so new to me and I'm just so excited I think the device's battery drain is a bit more at the moment, for example, I've only read on it for a total of 8.5 hours and I charged it pretty much completely yesterday but the total reading time was in the span of the last few days except this morning it's already at 75% so I think I've just been doing a lot of fiddling around with it to make the battery drain. haha. So I'll update battery later. I love the physical buttons on this device and the fact that it also is a touch screen. It gives me multiple ways to turn the page. I mainly use the buttons as I'm more comfortable with those than touching the screen, I do a lot of reading in the bed and the buttons are great for lazy page turning, I just position my hand on a button and get comfortable and it works perfectly. I love the size of this thing, it's not too big and not too small either, and I can zoom in or out on books, it also remembers the zoom for each book, for example, if I zoom up really close to my Sudoku puzzle and then go to a regular book it won't be super zoomed up, which I really appreciate this small detail! Because that would be super annoying to zoom back and forth from book to book. I will come on here and update my review when I get a pen and tell you how well it works on my stuff. UPDATE (still December 2025): I got the Metapen M1 and have been using it with my Kobo, I love writing on it but the only thing I don't like is the palm action, I have switched it to "swipe to turn page" and also turned off "pinch to zoom" and my palm still reacts to the screen which is very annoying but other than that the pen with the device is great! As you can see in my images I do Sudoku on it when I don't want to read. I also have coloring books on there, just take picture of your coloring book pages and stick it in a document, I use Canva at 1072x1448 document size and then export the document as a PDF and stick it on the eReader. As you can see I colored very little of the coloring page, it is great but I don't see myself doing too much coloring as I don't have that much time on my hands but have it on there JUST IN CASE I am bored, haha. I've even added habit, gratitude journals just to help me keep track of things since I plan on carrying this device with me EVERYWHERE I go. It's almost like my new phone without all the notifications and doom-scrolling social media stuff. After using the device for a bit longer I noticed it would be nice if they added just a LOCK all rotate feature, meaning they do have a lock rotate but it only locks orientation, like if I turn the device sideways it may not rotate but if I turn it completely upside down it will rotate, sometimes I don't want it to rotate AT ALL. Also, another cool feature would be to JUST have pen usage and turn off all touch controls and only use buttons to turn page and then using the pen to do stuff and if I want my touch controls back on then a button on the pen could pull up the menu and then I can just navigate to the "turn touch back on" type of thing....but I imagine this might be hard to do, I just hate my palm reaction so much, I do have one of those drawing gloves but the material still reacts to this screen so that didn't help much and I hate writing in a hovering position, my handwriting looks awful if I have to hover. But overall I still absolutely love this little e-reader and I hope it lasts me for MANY MANY years!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love everything about this!
*by K***J on December 14, 2024*

I'm a long-time Kindle user, and my last three Kindles have been high-end: the Voyage, Oasis, and Scribe. The bungled release and poor handling of the Colorsoft made me look into Kobo after I decided the Scribe was a little big for casual reading (I still love it, though). I was a little concerned that after years of metal and glass Kindles, I'd be disappointed in something "less," but this was not the case once I got the Libra Colour in my hands for the first time. The build quality is excellent and I like the form factor. I love the page-turn buttons; I found I missed them after I got rid of my Oasis. Buttons aside, the form factor and curved-up edge where the buttons reside make this a joy to hold in any orientation, including landscape. While I prefer the flush screen of my Kindles to the slightly recessed screen of the Libra, it's a minor complaint, and one the page-turn buttons mitigate. The plastic feels sturdy, the device is lightweight without feeling cheap, and I like the location of the power button and USB port. The Kindle Scribe made terrible choices for power and USB, in my opinion. The fact that Kobo made this device intentionally repairable is a huge plus for me, though it feels durable enough I doubt I'll ever need to, barring major accidents. Coming from Kindle, figuring out the user interface wasn't a challenge. It's not identical, but most of the conventions are close enough that in 10 minutes of poking around I had everything set up as I wanted. I think the UI is better than Kindle, overall. Once I got my Kobo account set up, purchasing books from the device was simple. The lighting temperature (from cool to warm) has a broad range, as does the overall brightness. The color presentation is excellent. No, it's not super saturated and vivid like an OLED or LCD screen, but it's not supposed to be. I vastly prefer the color presentation on the Libra to my wife's Kindle Colorsoft. So does my wife. Text is clear and easy to read, if not quite as sharp as black-and-white eInk screens. I knew this going in; it's just how color eInk panels are currently. Again, I think the Libra's text looks better than the Colorsoft's. It does feel slightly slower than the Colorsoft, which I admit feels extremely snappy. But in practice, I don't really notice it unless I'm comparing it side-by-side. The Kobo Store experience falls behind Amazon's shopping experience, but I expected this. You won't find any books that are part of Kindle Unlimited on the Kobo store, as Amazon requires KU books to be exclusive. Otherwise, there's a vast selection, and certainly, the bestsellers and popular books are there. I find it a little harder to find what I'm looking for on the Kobo store, but part of that is my familiarity with shopping on Amazon and my newness to Kobo. Honestly, this was my biggest concern when switching devices and platforms, but overall, it was pretty painless. All in all, I love this device.
