Kobo Libra 2 | eReader | 7” Glare Free Touchscreen | Waterproof | Adjustable Brightness and Color Temperature | Blue Light Reduction | eBooks | WiFi | 32GB of Storage | Carta E Ink Technology | Black

I unboxed my Kobo Libra 2 and fell in love with it. Sadly as I configured it I realized that my massive kindle library was not compatible with the Kobo e-reader. (Before Kobo loyalists nuke me, I know there are ways to do it but I was not willing to do chetaah flips to do it). Anyway loved the screen, configuration,etc but was bummed to have to return it. I think there should be a disclamer somewhere, or at least something in the comparison blocks where it also listed the Kindle paperwhite, that the Kobo is not compatable with Kindle e-books.

Liked it because it is very light and easily set up how you like it to work, like how you like reading it. I recommend this product

Easy to work with, great screen. Love it so far.

This is the first eReader that Ive had in many years. I love the kobo libra 2 eReader! I love how easy it is to use and I feel that it has good battery life. I love the buttons on it which is why I picked this over a kindle paperwhite. The kindle oasis has buttons but was a little too pricey for me. So far, I havent run into any problems using the kobo libra 2.

This reminds me of Barnes n nobles original nook e-reader that came out before the Kindle. Personally Ive never been a fan of kindle and they ran nook into the ground. Almost like a more advanced tribute to it. Kobos software seems really user friendly. I easily purchase a book and began reading it. Free built in library is a nice touch. The way the e reader almost looks like a book on the page, the advanced brightness settings and overall lightweight feel of it it is just very appealing. Very happy with my purchase!

A month and a half worth of battery, easy on the eyes, wonderful to hold comfortably. Easy to sideload.

Love it so far. A little slow on the PDF reading but overall a wonderful product!

So far, I have read Fitzgeralds The Great Gatsby, Dickens Great Expectations, Wildes The Importance of being Earnest, Homers Odyssey, Gilmans The Yellow Wallpaper, Joyces Ulysses, several Philip K. Dick short stories, and I am working my way through Homers Iliad. It fits in the back pocket of my Levis, and anytime Im waiting for an appointment or have a little down time, Im reading on it. BTW, a good source of older books is The Gutenberg Project -- they are all free!

after 5 months of light use, the battery can no longer hold a charge. went from 93% to 80% WHILE SLEEPING in just two hours. crashes all the time opening files bigger than 1MB. dont bother with this, and save your money. previous review highlighting differences between this and Kindle Paperwhite: it costs around the same as Kindle Paperwhite signature edition, so heres a comparison thats not a long boring novel: same for both: - 32gb storage - 7 screen - warm lighting functions minus for kobo: - no wireless charging - no automatic light adjustment (honestly who cares) - no automatic translation feature (a game changer on Kindle for anyone reading a book in another language!!) - FREEZES when opening large book files (froze on 100+mb epubs every time) -- very very disappointing. the last thing you want is to buy a book and not be able to read it. - no .doc/.docx support. honestly Kobo, what the cuss. business ppl want to read their files too. minus for Kindle: - no ergonomic BUTTONS for page turning, which is also a huge game changer. Kindle will accidentally go to next/previous pages often due to thin bezel and difficulty holding the device for a long time - no epub file format support. honestly Amazon, what the cuss. its like the most popular ebook format out there tl;dr -- if you dont read foreign/large books/doc files and NEED buttons/epub support, get the kobo. otherwise get the Kindle Paperwhite (pro tip: kids edition has no ads and sometimes have crazy sales), or maybe wait for the oasis update from Kindle. pro tip 2: invert the button so the top one is next page, makes a world of difference when holding one handed

I have had kindle ereaders for years. My latest kindle was the 2021 paperwhite. I did not like that it lacked page turn buttons, the home screen was horrible with its book advertising, I found it hard to hold, and the entire operating system was difficult for me to navigate. The Kobo libra 2 solves all of those problems. The operating system is so easy to navigate. I love the ease of holding it, the page buttons and its automatic rotating screen. Those features help make long reading sessions much more comfortable. The home screen is beautifully organized. The screen shows only the information I want to see and is not a cluttered mess. The overdrive feature is simply AMAZING and makes this 100 times better than the kindle. It is easy to use and saves me money on books. I utilize my library like never before. I have heard of complaints that the kobo store doesnt have as many books available, I have not found a single book that I have wanted unavailable. The prices of books in the store are similar to Amazon. This uses a USB-c charger (unlike the kindle oasis). It is cheaper than the kindle oasis (the nearest equivalent kindle with buttons). Kobo does have a couple of shortcomings. It does ghost at times. The battery power doesnt last as long as the kindle, but I have only used it with the wi-fi on. Im not a fan of the fonts that are available, but I know that you can side load fonts. I have not tried that yet. I would not say the fonts are horrible either, perhaps Ive used a kindle for so long I am just used to those fonts. I feel like the plastic cover/case could be upgraded as well. The Kobo is not perfect, but it is leaps and bounds better than the kindle. The overdrive feature, the home screen, and the easy to navigate operating system really is amazing. Kindle (at this time) doesnt compare at all. I cant imagine going back.
