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.

Very impressed
Exceptional design, easy to use, and it really makes reading easier, faster and more comfortable. It feels strong and robust, but it's also refined. You can feel the thought that has gone into it. After a few tries I was navigating the screens and options very easily. Like any device it takes a little effort, but after that it's become very intuitive.The screen is excellent in bright light and very comfortable in dull light. It's super light, very slim and easily fits into a bag or large pocket.I'm not used to eReaders but found the process of signing-up and download books very easy. The selection of books is vast. I tested the library by typing in some very obscure titles and was amazed when it returned not just the book I was looking for but different options as well.This device allows you to take notes and highlight the text. This is really important to me as I like to catch my thoughts, and it makes the Kobo great for research.

Reloving Reading
This has 'rekindled' my love of reading.Comfortable to hold, even for extended periods. Easy to see the text in any light and smooth and quick page turns.The ecosystem is way more open and easy to use. You can even download documents on your phone and have them on the mobo in seconds...away from home!Official Kobo store books sync up across multiple devices as you would expect and the battery lasts for weeks even with the back light.Note taking with the optional stylus works but is nowhere near on par with an iPad. Then again, it's smaller, lighter and cheaper and means I only need one device. The optional stylus is great for making notes in the margin of books though.Overall is a definite upgrade to readers with a more closed ecosystem.

Very good but don't expect too much from the colour screen.
I bought this to replace a much older Kobo reader after the screen stopped working. The colour screen isn't a big advantage as it looks dull and washed out. It's less comfortable than my old one because the back is flat, hard and slippery. It's slightly faster and the page turning seems a bit smoother. The buttons are a bit too stiff which doesn't help although I like the fact that you can swap them around. It's a very good ereader however and I use it a lot. The menus are intuitive and the selling point for me is the fact that you can easily download books from a laptop or PC. The screen size is about right and it's not too heavy. I travel a lot and this goes everywhere with me.

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.

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.
