Review: Excellent E Reader for Book Lovers - I was using a Kindle 8th Gen for last 8 years and it is still working perfectly, the only issue I had was it did not have a Backlight and so I couldn't read at night time, I was in a dilemma if I should go for another Backlit Kindle then came across Kobo Libra Colour and saw many reviews on YouTube and finally went for it. Pros : The Physical Page change buttons are awesome and you only realize their importance when you start using them, the fingers rest on them by default and you don't have to put any efforts to change the page, only after using it i understood how bad my Kindle UI was as now I don't have to touch my screen every time. Battery Life is excellent and lasts weeks. The Book Cover display in screen when the device is in sleep mode is just amazing and you feel like it's a real book and feel to pick it up to read. Very light weight and doesn't strain the wrist or hand, the Dark Mode is great for Night Reading, the Unpacking experience was also so nice, the Home Page is clean & non intrusive and doesn't push any ads for new books etc. Cons : The Online Book catalogue is small compared to Kindle but I have my own e books collection so it's fine for me and Yes the price is on the higher side. Expectations: Don't buy this device thinking that you can read comics like Tintin, Asterix etc because the screen is small 7 inch and so reading the words is tough, I tried putting in all my comics but then removed them because I didn't want to zoom and read them, also as we all are habituated to see bright Colour popping AMOLED displays in our mobile screens, but it's not the case here so the colours on this E Ink display will feel really washed out but that is expected because it's meant to read mostly books and manga at most, I am reading Dilbert, Calvin and Hobbes in it as they don't have too many words. Verdict: I am really happy with my Kobo Libra Colour, it's an amazing Device highly recommended for people who love to read books, the colour is just Cherry on the Top.
Review: Excellent eBook reader, if a bit on the expensive side. - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great product and you should definitely go for it.
*by R***Y on 12 December 2024*

I had a Kindle basic from long long back and wanted to update it to newer model, possibly with buttons like Kindle Oasis, however Oasis has been out of commission and it was not renewed in newer line-ups of Amazon kindle. The ones which were updated was not having a good feedback from users. Hence I decided to go for Kobo Libra Color(KLC). Here are my thoughts. PROS:- 1. KLC is a color version with physical buttons and the colors are good enough for e-ink technology and please so not expect the tablet like quality in this. Colors are vivid and comics look as good as you can get with this technology(see images). Also you can get even more vivid colors by switching developer mode on. 2. Battery backup is excellent(a week or two probably) with normal reading(couple of hours a day) and even better if the content is pure black and white(B&W). Color has lower dpi but B&W is excellent. 3. You can use stylus for annotating and drawing directly on the book. It also has notebook feature. 4. If there is a screen door effect(search for this term) then either I don't have that issue or it really doesn't matter because it is not at all noticeable. 5. Like I said physical buttons are a god-send and very handy. 6. You use google drive or Dropbox for very easy file transfer. You can also use applications to make it very easy as well. 7. PDFs work very well so epubs is not the only supported format. While you can annotate on PDF file, you can't highlight on the PDFs like you do on epubs(this is because PDFs are basically like images with no text layer) CONS:- 1. You lose the variety that Amazon kindle offers with its large selection of books and also in half the price that Kobo will offer. Regional books will not be found on Kobo and if it is there there it will more expensive than what Amazon offers. A work around is that you can buy on Amazon and convert it to epubs and use it on Kobo. Amazon has that facility. 2. Kindle unlimited is yet another thing you might miss if you use that(I didn't). 3. I don't know if Kobo has service centers in India so that another thing you might have to keep in mind. Final Verdict: Go for it if it is in your budget, it is worth it. Update: Battery backup is even better than I initially said. With an hour of reading daily it can last for around 20+ days. If you faster drain of battery, check the ebooks for some error in Calibre application. Update (23/10/2025) : Amazon no longer allows you to download the books like earlier (atleast I don't know of any method, easy or not, that works), so you won't be able to buy the books here and read it in Kobo any longer. Since this could be an issue for some, I thought I should update this review.
