Review: Much better than any Kindle I've owned, buy it, you won't look back - I've had this in hand for about a week and I'm growing to love it more and more every day. First, I've owned four or five kindles over the last decade++ and while they're incredibly convenient and ubiquitous and have led the e-book charge, the operating system has always felt clunky to me… all of the features you need daily are generally three or four steps into settings. Combine that with awkwardly placed power buttons, no option for physical buttons other than the oasis which has been discontinued, the need to always have a cover with a handle in order to hold it while reading. Much more but other than the e-book idea and implementation, it's never felt natural to me. The Kobo Libra Colour, on the other hand, feels a joy to hold, it's very light, has a screen auto rotate option which, combined with the lip at the buttons, are a perfect place to put your thumb of either hand. Yes, it's a similar designed to the Oasis but the Oasis (which I own for five years until it crapped out on me after having babied it and then desertcart not supporting diagnosing/fixing) was a much heavier device and although it was formed and weighted on the side with the buttons, it always felt like holding a Lego block or something rigid and awkward in my hand. Plus it was just heavy. The Cobo Libra is kind of the same form as an Oasis but much more comfortable to hold because it's not only much, much lighter (ounces?) but also because of the slight upward lip at the buttons... your thumb on either hand just slips into that corner so easily and it's incredibly smoth to position and move from one hand to the other. I've always had cases for Kindles but after a week with the Libra, I can't convince myself to get anything other than a sleeve for it… it just feels that nice in your hand. Then there's also the color book covers and color highlights, both surprisingly pleasurable additions. But those are really bonuses, the gem is the operating system and interface which is without a doubt more focused on the READER… it does the little things well like the mentioned auto rotate view we've all grown accustomed to with cell phones. Then there are a ton of similar details in the interface... being able to increase or decrease the brightness of the screen by one simple slide touch in the upper left corner, no digging into settings. The home screen showing the most recent four books and % read, or on the same page an area where you can access all your books, another area showing just your unread books, another area showing a link to overdrive to borrow books from the library, another spot to press showing the holds you have at your library on overdrive… in other words an actual home screen giving you all your options in one view. Not trying to sell you anything, not trying to distract you by anything. Your stuff where you want it. Which is of course another fantastic feature, it lets you directly and easily rent books from your library… The focus is on getting you what you want to read and having you enjoy the experience… NOT up selling you more books. What a concept. Oh, and the power button is recessed and on the BACK of the device… So no turning it on and off accidentally when resting it somewhere. In other words, great functionality making for a pleasurable experience using it. desertcart seems to have lost that with the Kindle… like the device itself is secondary to them pushing more product. Anyway, I could go on but this is already too long. Buy it, you'll love it and just look online for ways to transfer your already purchased Kindle books over… Kobo doesn't make YOUR books proprietary, you buy them, you own and can read them anywhere in standard formats. Again, what a concept....
Review: Best Ereader I Ever Owned - Easy to use, great interface, pleasant color screen and adjustable backlight. Best of all: connects great with Libby for heavy library use and displays the cover of the current book when powered off. Minimal ads, which I adore. Far superior to Kindle.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great e-reader. Much better than Kindle for borrowing library books
*by J***. on November 18, 2025*

I bought the Kobo Libra Colour to replace my well-loved (and worn out) black and white Kobo Libra H2O. They are just about the same size and -- for my purposes -- function the same way. I didn't buy the Libra Colour for its color display -- as pleasant as it is -- or for any of the additional features not found on the H2O. To be honest, if Kobo still had a black and white e-reader in this size without the bells and whistles, I would have bought that and saved some money, but somethings like the color highlighting and note taking capacities are neat and would have been useful at an earlier point in my life. I did a side-by-side comparison of the same book page on the Libra Colour and the H2O. They looked pretty much the same to me, so I don't think adding color has diminished the reading experience. I do like the fact that the Libra Color weighs a bit less and is thinner. It also is a little more responsive than the H2O -- for example, pages turn faster. I was pleased with the quality of my H2O and expect to be equally pleased with the quality of the Libra Colour. Also, Kobo has now made their readers repairable, which is a big plus for me. Because I only use my e-reader to borrow books from my public library, I especially appreciate the fact that Kobo products have built-in OverDrive (Libby) integration, which means I can connect to my public library directly to browse, borrow and return books on the e-reader. Can't do this with a Kindle.
