Our expert review

A compact e-reader on which I read books in color.

  • Colorful images
  • Quickly scroll through buttons
  • Easy to carry due to size
  • No charger and stylus included

The Kobo Libra Color is a compact e-reader on which I read, listen to and take notes in color. I didn't get the stylus, so I had to order it separately.

Quiet color screen
I think the color screen makes this e-reader come more to life. I prefer reading books with pictures and comic books. In addition, the library and sleep mode also look a lot more lively with different colorful book covers. I also highlight texts in all kinds of colors. Thanks to ComfortLight PRO, I can adjust the brightness and warmth of the screen myself. I often read before I go to bed. I find a warm and darker screen easier on my eyes. When I don't feel like reading, I listen to audiobooks.

Nice size and nice buttons
I can easily hold the Libra Color with one hand due to the weight and the handle. The screen rotates, so I hold it on all sides. This is useful for left and right-handed people. Thanks to the buttons, I can quickly turn the pages. I also navigate through the menu with the touchscreen. I also take this e-reader with me in my bag because of its size. This is how I read on the train on the way to work. You will not receive a cover with the e-reader. If you're like me and take it with you a lot, I recommend a cover for protection.

Stylus support
The Kobo Libra Color supports the Kobo Stylus 2. Unfortunately, I did not receive this, so you have to order it yourself. I use the stylus to make color notes in the books. When I make a mistake, I erase it with the back of the stylus. I also add notepads myself where I make to-do lists, for example. I don't take notes without a stylus, but I do mark text in books with my finger.

Download books via Dropbox or Drive
I don't need any cables to put my books on the e-reader. I buy books in the Kobo shop or download them from my Dropbox or Google Drive. I think the latter is a nice feature. I create my own Kobo folder in Dropbox or Drive and drag my books there. Then I download the books onto the e-reader. The e-reader also supports Pocket. When I see articles on my phone or laptop that I want to read, I save them to Pocket. Then I read them on the e-reader.

Wonderful reading

What an improvement over my old e-reader. Super fast, beautiful and soft color screen, gentle on the eye and the reading mirror quickly turns in the right direction, no matter how you hold the e-reader

Price is decent, but so is the comfort

  • Good size
  • Light weight
  • A wide offer
  • Price

Didn't expect it myself, but reads more pleasantly and easily than a book. I didn't have that with smartphones and tablets. It is light and pleasant to hold.
Works very well even in the sun.
The image can be set to rotate or be fixed in portrait/landscape mode. And the light intensity and color can be adjusted. Great for reading in bed
