Review: 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.
Review: 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow! Best product ever purchased maybe? And a word from a nerdy little kid...
*by J***9 on 25 October 2025*

Talk about falling in love with a product. Scoured reviews for ebook readers and the libra colour was what I needed. Had never owned an ebook reader before so had been using mobile phone or at times an ipad to read ebooks. When I got this I also ordered the luxury case you'll see on amazon (around 30 or so). Take my advice, get the case with it. Closes magneticalky, fits it superbly. Back to the device. It was new to me but got it opened, beautiful reader. I mean so high quality it's just not funny. Within 10 min I had it linked to the Web (yeah it can link to Google drive etc) and had transferred like 40 ebooks over. So easy. You can do this via the cable or like me just do it over WiFi. I can go to Google drive on my phone or laptop, drag files into the rakuten kobo or similar folder and then your reader has a section to access idrive, other online locations such as the kobo store (amazing too), and heck you can even go to a browser in a 'beta' type file. Just a note - because of the eink display, refresh rates etc don't expect much from a browser etc. Other than functionality that is. But it does everything you need. Omigod these things are so good. I literally felt guilty for buying myself it. That's how good the thing is. Honestly this thing is one step away from getting Beyonce to give you her cell number. The display is superb, much like a real book. I have mixed formats of files but I use software called Calibre (free and comes in mac, pc, android etc versions) whcih allows you to manage your library for the libra, convert formats, add different book covers or change anything you want for each book. This is the platinum standard software I would say to manage libraries with your kobo libre. Amazing stuff. Yeah so amazin display, fast when you change page. Super customisable. Battery is so good I started to think mine was solar powered. Oh did I mention I opted for the stylus as well? It's a no brainier for me I mean add a little to the initial buy price to get it thrown in with the libra (cos it does come free and is optional) or wait till after and get stung for the full stylus price? I love the thing. It's accurate, it has your own notebook section so like I read a lot of science books, and I like to take notes. You can do so on the actual book pages or if you're like me, finish a part, open the 'my notebooks' section and separately do some notes etc. It's a joy to use, very accurate and its smart so it knows not to let your palm hitting the screen to do anything. Omigod amazing. For the older user... Years and years back there was this little nerdy kid who watched Inspector Gadget with his kid brothers and sisters and like most kids he longed to have the 'smart' electronic book that Gadget's daughter Penny owned. She cracked crimes with it, mainly by looking stuff up but this was the thing to have. The nerdy kid dreamt about having a book like that for years. Then he grew up.. And years went by and he had put away childish things but then had some twists and turns in life and started to think again of what truly made him happy? KOBO - you guys gave that nerdy little kid his dream book with the libra colour. I cannot explain to you the joy of reading classics or scientific books on here, especially looking at how the diagrams 'pop' right out of the page at you with the eink screens colour output. The nerdy kid is now a nerdy man. But he's a happy nerdy man. Every morning he gets up and the first thing he does it reached for his Kobo Libra Colour, his own magic little book. You guys aren't making products - you're making dreams come true. Thank you so much. Ex nerdy little kid
