Heerlijk lezen. Leuk met kleur. Helemaal goed.

Best purchase I have ever made. I use it daily for reading , helped me alot to be consistent with reading . I take it along whenever I travel very portable. The e-ink color is great addition , I love seeing my colored books’ covers. Just an amazing purchase overall , maybe it’s a bit costy if you are to purchase the stylus and the kobo original covers. But other than that , nothing too dramatic.

No pensé que el ligero cambio de color y de botones fuera tan importante, soy lector de mangas y novelas ligeras las cuales cuentan con ilustraciones y se ven de magnífica forma

I purchased primarily to use with my extensive personal collection of ebooks, for offline use. Overall satisfied, but it could use a few software improvements.This review based on experience with prior e-reader, an ancient iRiver Story HD.Pros: Screen is great, backlight very nice and very adjustable (the auto-color setting is pretty flaky though). Screen colors very acceptable for an e-ink. Refresh rate surprised me, very good. Was pretty easy loading my offline library, connected via USB, using Linux and Calibre. Size, ease of holding and turning pages are good. An inch larger would be nice, but the screen is sufficiently big and sharp enough to read most of my PDF technical books, when flipped to landscape (views a little over 1/2 page at a time).Cons: My several hundred books (epub, text and PDF) are arranged in a 2-level folder structure. My prior readier I had a folder view where I could browse by folder (/Mystery/AgathaChristie/). So far I haven't found a similar feature on this one, makes it difficult to find the books I don't know by title, or author. Logging out of the OverDrive account appears to clear history. !? Why on earth? Looses track of which books I'm reading or have read. Solution is to remain logged in. (Can turn off WiFi and use offline just fine when logged in to OverDrive, so it's not a real deal-breaker.) I have a lot of books that came from Project Gutenburg in form of plain text, then got converted to epub at some point. They open and read just fine until I get to the last page(s) of the book, where it get to the Gutenburg notices, then the reader takes a very long time to move to the next page, and sometimes crashes. ?? Almost certainly a software bug, because my other reader handled these files just fine, as does Calibre.

My first Kindle was a Kindle DX (10") with buttons. and I absolute loved that thing. After my ex sat on it, cracking the screen so badly it made it unusable, I moved on to a paper white. It was fine. I did enjoy the portability and the touch screen, but I would constantly be fighting with the device's touch screen page turning feature. It would constantly misread my palm or thumb as page turns, constantly losing my place, and as a result I found myself holding the device in very uncomfortable ways.My old paperwhite finally started to show real wear with cracks on the screen and uneven backlight... so after some research, I made the switch!I was actually ready to buy a Kindle Colorsoft (if it were available in Canada), I've always found that Amazon does a great job with fit and finish on new tech, and every Kobo in the past I've picked up and played with felt cheap and inferior. Well, Kindle Colorsoft's lack of availability pushed me to watch a few reviews comparing and contrasting the two e-readers, and I'm glad I did!After an hour with it, all I can say is that this thing rules; I never had an Oasis, so I can't compare these ergonomics to the last Kindle with buttons, but it's incredibly comfortable to read on. I can hold it _any_ which way I want and the picture auto rotates, the user interface has also come a long way, so far in fact, that I think it's surpassed the Kindle interface. The color is nice to have when you've got pictures in a book you want to look at, and the natural light backlight is great - feels like orange meets a tinge of green -- really easy on the eyes.Unless you're dying for Kindle's comic book feature, where it shows you panels as pages, just get this thing.Why Amazon got rid of buttons on a the Kindle lineup is beyond me.

I'm a long-time Kindle user, and my last three Kindles have been high-end: the Voyage, Oasis, and Scribe. The bungled release and poor handling of the Colorsoft made me look into Kobo after I decided the Scribe was a little big for casual reading (I still love it, though). I was a little concerned that after years of metal and glass Kindles, I'd be disappointed in something "less," but this was not the case once I got the Libra Colour in my hands for the first time.The build quality is excellent and I like the form factor. I love the page-turn buttons; I found I missed them after I got rid of my Oasis. Buttons aside, the form factor and curved-up edge where the buttons reside make this a joy to hold in any orientation, including landscape. While I prefer the flush screen of my Kindles to the slightly recessed screen of the Libra, it's a minor complaint, and one the page-turn buttons mitigate. The plastic feels sturdy, the device is lightweight without feeling cheap, and I like the location of the power button and USB port. The Kindle Scribe made terrible choices for power and USB, in my opinion. The fact that Kobo made this device intentionally repairable is a huge plus for me, though it feels durable enough I doubt I'll ever need to, barring major accidents.Coming from Kindle, figuring out the user interface wasn't a challenge. It's not identical, but most of the conventions are close enough that in 10 minutes of poking around I had everything set up as I wanted. I think the UI is better than Kindle, overall. Once I got my Kobo account set up, purchasing books from the device was simple. The lighting temperature (from cool to warm) has a broad range, as does the overall brightness. The color presentation is excellent. No, it's not super saturated and vivid like an OLED or LCD screen, but it's not supposed to be. I vastly prefer the color presentation on the Libra to my wife's Kindle Colorsoft. So does my wife. Text is clear and easy to read, if not quite as sharp as black-and-white eInk screens. I knew this going in; it's just how color eInk panels are currently. Again, I think the Libra's text looks better than the Colorsoft's. It does feel slightly slower than the Colorsoft, which I admit feels extremely snappy. But in practice, I don't really notice it unless I'm comparing it side-by-side.The Kobo Store experience falls behind Amazon's shopping experience, but I expected this. You won't find any books that are part of Kindle Unlimited on the Kobo store, as Amazon requires KU books to be exclusive. Otherwise, there's a vast selection, and certainly, the bestsellers and popular books are there. I find it a little harder to find what I'm looking for on the Kobo store, but part of that is my familiarity with shopping on Amazon and my newness to Kobo. Honestly, this was my biggest concern when switching devices and platforms, but overall, it was pretty painless.All in all, I love this device.

I've owned a Kindle Paperwhite for 11 years and decided to upgrade since the newer e-readers now have a more gentle backlight with less blue light. I bought both the new Paperwhite and the Kobo Libra Colour to compare side by side.The Paperwhite was hardly an upgrade from my 11 year old device--plus it is heavier, larger, and harder to hold. The Kobo is much more lightweight, comfortable, and ergonomic with the wide side bar and physical page turn buttons. I can easily and comfortably hold it with one hand. The user interface on the Kobo is also much cleaner and less in your face Amazon-store-junky. I can also access Libby directly from Kobo to easily check out library books. I love how you can change the screen brightness by just swiping up and down on the left of the screen instead of having to go into the menus.As for the downsides, I wish the screen was a tad brighter since I almost always have to have at least 15-20% brightness turned on. The color is also a nice touch but I wouldn't say it's vibrant.Overall, I find reading on the Kobo a lot more comfortable and natural than on the Kindle. I would probably only return to the Kindle if they brought back the Oasis and cleaned up their user interface.

Me encantó es hermosa....funciona perfecto....ya estoy disfrutando de mis lecturas
