Review: Yay for the page turning buttons!! - Through the reader years I have had a Sony, Nook and then used my IPad. That was too heavy and valuable to carry around. I had a Voyage, upgraded to an Oasis which I left on a plane (yes, check those seat back pouches 🙄). Paper White was new and less expensive so I went with that. I missed the page turning buttons and in November tried to buy one only realizing they had been discontinued. I bought a used one. The battery only lasts five hours. desertcart wouldn’t help because it was bought through a second party? I was willing to try my luck on another but there were no longer any used available. During my search Kobo popped up. I had not ever heard of it 🤭 How is that possible (I live in the US) ?! My book club wants me to bring this novelty to our next meeting. People seemed more pleased with it than the Kindle Colorsoft but regardless, I was buying for the page turning buttons. I’ve now had it one week. I’ve given the Paper White to my son and I’ll keep the Oasis because of my extensive library (and yes I can still read my kindle books on my IPad) but I’m now a Kobo person. I love my page turning buttons!! I do not read cartoons or Manga but being able to see the book covers in color is very enjoyable to me and helps me remember which books I’ve read. My library screen is much more pleasant to look at than the crowded Kindle page. Downloading from Libby has been very easy. Ready to borrow has popped up on the screen and I touch to download. I had the trial Kobo Unlimited but like Kindle Unlimited - the books I want to read are mostly new releases (which they wont have) or books that are already on Libby. I bought The Frozen River last night because I was 532 on the Libby waitlist (it must be good). It was $2.00 more than kindle and I understand Kobo will price match. I have the stylus and it works like my IPad pen. I’ve only scribbled so I can’t promise it’s perfect. I only bought it because I can and I like gadgets. I haven’t opened the notebook yet but it looks interesting. I ordered a total of four cases. I was hoping one of them would store the stylus. They do not. The stylus sticks to the left side of the kobo but that is covered by all the cases - even the kobo case. The Kobo case is the only one that allowed comfortable access to the buttons but again only the right side is exposed and the stylus won’t stick to that side. I’m very surprised Kobo hasn’t done something about this. I really DO NOT like the colors offered by the Kobo case but it is the best fit. I will say the butter yellow isn’t hard to miss when I’m looking for it. To close - I’ve been around in the e-reader world and I love my Kobo Libra Color. The BIGGEST selling point for me are the page turning buttons.
Review: Very portable color e-reader at fair price with many features - Since I already have other types of e-reader, I didn't technically need another one. What prompted this purchase was: longer battery life of Kobo, lower price, small size, audio book capability, and the most important features of color e-ink and stylus that can be used to hand write notes. The text is not as sharp as my iPad, but it's adjustable for size and font, bright enough, and fine for me. The color, while not strictly necessary, is enjoyable and makes notes more fun. I even did some simple color sketching and mind maps with the Kobo notepad app. My ipad does most of the desired features better of course (plus has a zillion apps), but is too expensive and too large for me to just take it everywhere in my pocket, purse, or small backpack. (I am also getting tired of operating systems that nag me to be signed in all the time. ) Even better, I found that I really use the feature where I can connect the Kobo to my Macbook and side load PDF or text files, without having to use a proprietary system (yes, I know how to do this with ipads and kindle email). I expect to use this feature to personalize the material that I am able to quickly install on the Kobo, such as business data, teaching materials, etc. It won't replace my iPad, but sometimes what matters is the device that is actually with you, and ready to go. I wish the Kobo had more memory, or was able to install an external memory card, but I can live with that limitation. Buying books on the Kobo website is also easy, they have a pretty good sale section, a subscription service similar to Kindle unlimited, and some of their books are DRM-free.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful & functional
*by D***R on April 19, 2025*

The #1 thing I like about this is that it's not an Amazon product & there's no sign of Kindle Unlimited. When buying an ebook from Kobo you are still just purchasing a license. It is in their terms of sale. It is a decent size and lightweight. I have a Kindle Fire 7 generation 9. The Kobo is lighter and easier on the eyes. I like that it comes in white. The color is lovely. Very nice for book covers, illustrations, comics, etc. Yes - it does look washed out sometimes compared to a printed page or phone screen. Doesn't work so well for something like a quilting pattern book where you might want to see the colors more vividly (you could use the app on a phone or tablet for that). The screen brightness is decent. Battery lasts several days. I like having room on the side to hold the ereader, and the option of using the buttons. I also like where the power button is located. There is the option of audiobooks on the ereader, but no speaker, so you must use bluetooth to listen from the ereader. I really like the integration of dropbox & overdrive. Makes it so convenient to access books from multiple sources. I really like being able to see, within the store, if a book I'm interested in is available to borrow. You can't browse the library with Overdrive, though. Within the Kobo shopping experience there are places where you have the option to buy a book, but it doesn't show a price. That is a little annoying. There are a lot of things about this ereader to love & some things that could be a little better. It is a little expensive. I hope to get a lot of use out of it for a long time.
