KoboLibra Colour | eReader | 7” Glare-Free Colour E Ink Kaleido™ 3 Display | Dark Mode Option | Audiobooks | Waterproof | Black

Versatile E-Reader with Color and Flexible Display OptionsI’ve been using the Kobo Libra Color for several weeks now, and I’m thoroughly impressed by its combination of features, ergonomics, and vibrant display. Here are the highlights:• Fun Color Screen: The full-color display brings book covers to life, especially in graphic novels and cookbooks. It’s great without sacrificing battery life.• Multiple View Modes: I love being able to toggle between list view, grid view, and detailed covers—depending on whether I’m quickly browsing or savoring each title’s artwork.• Customizable Reading Settings: From font choices and margins to background shading and line spacing, you can tailor the reading experience precisely to your preferences.• Comfortable Form Factor: The ergonomic page-turn buttons on both sides make one-handed reading effortless, and the edge-lighting remains gentle on the eyes, day or night.• Lightweight & Natural Feel: At just 192 g (6.77oz), the Libra Color is light. Its slightly textured back feels natural in hand, reducing fatigue during long reading sessions.• Optional Pen & Handwriting Conversion: With the optional Kobo Stylus, you can jot notes or mark up pages freehand—and have your handwriting automatically converted into typed text. It turns your reader into a true digital notebook.• Protective Covers Available: There are many stylish covers to choose from for added protection—just keep in mind that a cover will add some extra weight and bulk.• Library Organization: Sorting by author, title, or “Most Recent” works seamlessly, and the Collections feature makes it easy to group books by theme or genre.Suggestions for Improvement:• Always-On Clock Option: It would be fantastic to have a setting that permanently displays the current time in the corner of the screen—especially for those of us who read in short bursts throughout the day.• Series Ordering Feature: Currently, adding books to a series can feel a bit convoluted. A simpler, more intuitive way to flag and auto-sort series entries would make keeping track of trilogies or multi-book sagas much easier.Overall, the Kobo Libra Color strikes an excellent balance between cutting-edge features and user-friendly design. Whether you’re a casual reader or a bibliophile with a diverse collection, this reader delivers performance and flexibility that rival much more expensive models. Highly recommended!

I adore my Kobo Libra Colour! I read on it all the time—it’s honestly become my favorite way to read. The page turn buttons are a total game-changer (so comfy!), and the color screen adds such a nice touch without being overwhelming. It’s super easy to navigate, and I love that it’s ad-free—no distractions, just reading. The lock screen shows the cover of your current read and your reading progress, which is such a nice detail. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, reader-first device, this one’s a win!

Have been loving this e-reader. What convinced me to buy this was the Overdrive integration built in. Its so easy to borrow books and the interface is easy to navigate. There are also no ads built into it (like the Kindle has). I also love the color aspect of it, for both highlighting, and seeing book covers in color. The battery also lasts a while, with moderate use (at least 3 hrs per day) I've only had to charge it once a week or so.

Great experience. Was a little surprised by some of the trade-offs of a color screen - reduced contrast and a kind of screen door effect. Kobo software is incredibly open and consumer friendly - I'm able to sync effortlessly with my calibre Web instance. It's repairable. Decent ecosystem for add ons - I like my folio case and stylus 2, the notes are useful.

Finally, an e- reader I’m excited about! I really feel excited to read on the Kobo Libra colour. I had a Kindle for years and I just never felt excited to read on it? I always prefer preferred physical books.The ability to connect to your library card to overdrive and get library books on this is an amazing feature, and overall, I’m really loving the experience of reading on the Kobo.The size of the screen is great, and there are many options to change the screen brightness as well as the color tone of the screen. The color feature might seem like it might not matter, but it’s so nice to be able to see your book covers in color.All in all, highly recommend!

I loved the idea of seeing my book covers in color, but didn’t want an actual tablet. This fits the bill, even though the colors are muted. I can see enough of a difference to make me happy. If I look carefully I can see the sharpness is less than other e-ink readers, but I feel like it looks more like paper (I almost want to smell the book lol). I also like the physical buttons. Page turning is fractionally slower than my kindle, but not so much that I can’t handle it. Overall, I’m happy with it!
