I don't like the color, compared to other color e-readers. Mind you it was hard deciding weather or not to get this as it was 1/3rd of the cost of the note air 3c, but the screen size alone made it worth and, and more vibrant colors (albeit still pastel/muted compared to lcd) was just a plus. (also got it for a steal eofy sale so it was only twice the cost of the kobo for twice the screen size.

My apologies if this is a repeat or known info..... For Overdrive, I exclusively use Libby for checking out books. I have multiple library cards in it. And while I only have one card on my Kobo to access from the store, anything that is compatible with my Kobo that I borrow on Libby shows up on my Kobo when I sync. This also gives me the extra ability to read magazines on my phone and listen to borrowed audio books on my commute through the phone. Also, I sometimes find myself not wanting to browse via the e-ink screen for new books to borrow. I am an anxious person and I worry about wasting battery on that and sometimes the slowness. So Libby on my phone reduces those anxieties. Typically, I only use the store/borrow feature on reader when I want to see a specific book, not browse for books, or subjects, or authors.

People saying it's dark or gray are talking about how when the backlight is totally OFF, it's dark. Which is how an eReader is supposed to be used. WITHOUT the light on. I like having the backlight as an option when it IS too dark, but if it's dark when a light is on behind you or in a well lit room and you have to turn on the backlight.. yeah it's basically turning your eReader into another screen with a light shining back into your face. I dont' want that. I want it to be paper-like.

God knows how it got the scratch and I am mildy annoyed how useless the clear case is except for aesthetic purposes. In fact, I was already happy using the box that came with the Kobo Libra Colour, the packaging was a win of a design.

I guess Kobo doesn't think people collect library cards. Silly Kobo. Because I watched your original review I've been recommended other Kobo content. It seems the Metapen works on Kobo which might be the only way to get that white.

Right?!? 🫤 ugh. I am not paying them for that. They will be collecting all my notes of WOW, AMAZING, and WHAT?!! 😂😂

I think having more than 1 library card is an American thing. I think in most countries the online library is under the national library, so the content is the same for everyone. Still as America is a big market it would be nice if they fix this for you all. And M.J thanks for the review :D

Thanks! My different libraries carry different books. It’s makes it fun an interesting when hunting for a new release or a vintage book. ☺️

Nice review, thank you. The following is NOT directed at you... it's a general comment. I have never understood the obsession some have with battery life for any device, smartphone, smartwatch, tablet, and even more so with ereaders. Is it really such a catastrophe in life to... GASP... plug a device in to charge overnight while you're sleeping? 🤦
@M-J7 ай бұрын
I totally get it. BUT, the battery life when annotating is absolutely depleted quicker and it’s important when reviewing to make note of it - for those that care.

I wish people could accept the legitimacy of other opinions and not act like anyone that disagrees with you is a stupid idiot with an invalid opinion. If you read outdoors then the front light doesn’t have any effect whatsoever and you would be better off with a yellowed newspaper from fifty years ago. If you don’t use the front light because you want the screen to match ambient light the color screen would still be hard to read. I’ve seen posts deleted and users banned on Reddit for speaking truth on this matter. Please Kobo doesn’t even want you to do this. They fully refunded my order and gave me a huge ebook bonus. I wouldn’t shame you for setting your ereaders brighter than I set my iPad. Please don’t throw shade at me for wanting to read outside. Let’s stop the fomo. It is perfectly okay and true to be disappointed in the native contrast of the Libra color.

The library card missive seems indicative of your generation. No offense, but the "I'm entitled to everything at once without having to do anything for it," seems to permeate your thinking. Instant gratification oozes here. You may not be all of that, but I couldn't get through the first five minutes. Sorry.
@M-J7 ай бұрын
LOL! Library cards are free. If one app can handle multiple cards why can’t the other on the same platform. I’m 53 years old and Generation X by the way. Don’t judge a book by the cover.
