Description

You can comfortably read books and take notes in color with the Kobo Libra Colour Black. Thanks to the color screen, your books come to life more. You see the book covers in color and you can take colorful notes. Thanks to ComfortLight PRO, you can adjust the brightness and color temperature yourself. It also filters blue light and you can choose the dark mode. That's easier on your eyes while you read. You can also safely read on the beach or at the pool, because the Libra is water-resistant. Thanks to the ergonomic handle, you can hold it for longer and you quickly turn the pages with the buttons. Don't feel like reading? You can also listen to audiobooks with wireless earbuds. It's possible to add e-books to your e-reader via the Kobo Store or with the integrated Google Drive and Dropbox. Note: the Kobo Stylus 2 isn't included. Do you take a lot of notes on your e-reader? Order it separately.

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.

Fantastic color e-reader that I enjoy for a very long time

Great adjustable brightness
Light and handy
More storage space than you can probably fill
Slight ghosting: delay in the disappearance of the previous menu

Fast, handy, pleasant integration with bol.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. Beautiful and nice e-reader with excellent color display
