> 3 dayI have been using this for quite a few months now and I love it! Comfortable to hold. Easy to adjust font and font size. Amazing battery life. I also bought the recommended cover which is very nice. I use the foldable cover as a stand to read hands free while eating breakfast. I would also recommend that.

> 3 dayI ended up returning this because I could not use Kindle Unlimited or Scribd with it. And apparently their Kobo Plus subscription is not available in the U.S. Otherwise its a great device. I ended up getting an Onyx Boox Leaf 2 instead on Targets website using their store *debit* card for 5% off. The white version is what I got because it has a sunken screen which makes the text sharper. It is an Android e-reader, still e-ink, that has the ability to download the Play Store so I can use Audible, Kindle Unlimited, and Scribd on it. Or whatever app you want to download.

> 3 dayCumple con todas las especificaciones que dice la publicación. Pros: -El modo de lectura se adapta bien según la orientación del dispositivo. -Los botones funcionan bien, incluso presionándolos en la esquina. -Las opciones de brillo cumplen con mis necesidades. -Es fácil sincronizar los libros mediante USB, aunque según entiendo no existe una opción de enviarlos por correo como con el Kindle. -Tiene diccionario incorporado, aunque se queda un poco corto a la hora de buscar palabras slang. -Cuenta con modo oscuro (fondo negro, letra blanca). -Tiene buenas opciones de personalización respecto al margen y tamaño de la letra. Contras: -El sleep cover es costoso y difícil de conseguir. -Con uso intensivo, por lo menos una hora diaria, la batería dura no alcanza a durar un mes.

> 3 dayThis is my first foray into e-readers, I prefer a physical book but physical space is a more limiting than digital storage. I like the anti glare and that reading on it doesnt burn my eyeballs out like reading on my phone. Ive noticed some ebooks dont translate well into it though, even when compared to the mobile kobu app. Also not a huge fan of the glitchy looking transitions when you turn a page even in the e-store. It makes it look like s*** and rankles me. I havent gotten around to trying to get ebooks from other platforms onto it yet but crossing my fingers. Not 100% sure i like it, but it is sufficient and does the job for now.

> 3 dayThis feels really good in the hand. I have a couple kindles and i like the physical buttons to do the page turn. ease of borrowing books from the library is a plus too Updated review. After a couple more days with it and going back and forth between it and my kindle paperwhite, this is a lot easier to hold. One handed in a lounging position it really just fits better. I do notice the operating system seems more responsive. I am continually impressed!

Greater than one weekThe Kobo Libra 2 is a very nice ebook, as ebook readers go. I bought it because my library has tens of thousand more epub books than kindle books. There is two major problems with it; 1. Read the fine print about library books and Kobo. IF THE BOOK DOES NOT EXIST IN THE KOBO STORE THAN YOU CAN NOT GET IT FROM THE PUBLIC LIBRARY. 2. Do a search on the end of Overdrive. The company wants to terminate the Overdrive app and plans to do it by the end of 2022. It is pushing all libraries using Overdrive to switch to the Libby app. Libby is a great app but it is not on Kobo. If none of the above bothers or affects you then go for the Kobo Libra 2. If the above concerns you then get a small Android tablet or iPad mini or use your smart phone. All support Libby and complete access to your library. Advisorys: Amazon Fire MAY NOT support Libby so be careful there, also Color tablets are not great in the sunlight. Happy Reading!
