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

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.

Screen could be more matte for outdoor or bright conditions. Too shiny. Print clarity is good .. slightly off parallel to frame. Does what I want ..

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

Le instalé varios libros y funciona como se espera, la batería dura mas de una semana. Lo único malo que me ha pasado, es estar modificando las configuraciones muy rápido y seguido (como si fuera una tablet de android o ipad), se bloqueo, pero lo soluciones reseteando el equipo.

In the past I have always been a hardcore nook enthusiast, I thought Id try something different with this Kobo because of the reviews. I absolutely love it, I did have to get used to the large side lip, along with it feeling larger than my nook, only because I do not or did not use the physical buttons on either of the Kobo or my old Nook. But the extra options on this Kobo are absolutely beautiful. I am addicted to the dark mode and have not gone back to the regular reading mode since I got it. I definitely suggest getting either a cover with a handle, or like I did, a handle that sticks on a piece of Velcro to attach to the back. Without a handle, youre definitely going to smack yourself in the head if you tend to read at night lying down. One bad thing I have noticed is that the battery life is not as good as on my old Nook, I do have to charge it probably twice as much.

3 stars of 5 — cant recommend purchasing at this price. Kobo is supposed to have three things going for it, when compared to the Amazon Kindle: (1) checking out library books; (2) less intrusive advertising; and (3) less tracking/selling of your personal data. It rates poorly in all three categories. As far as the core purpose, reading ebooks: this Kobo is every bit as good as the comparable Kindles. I like the shape and heft of it — its more substantial than the smaller Kindles, which is better for me. Theres more than enough lighting, font, and other options to keep me reading. Theres even a Dyslexic-style font, which helps many people who simply find it difficult to move from the printed page to ebooks. Checking out library books isnt that much easier on the Kobo, because the default search takes you to purchase options, so it takes several clicks to check out the book. I found it easier to find books on the Librarys site, and follow the prompt on the Kobo after... which is no different than for Kindle. Likewise, if you discount the Kindles screensaver adverts, the Kobo pushes you just as hard towards Kobo purchases as Amazon does towards its ecosystem. And as for privacy, its hard to independent evaluate the difference. Amazon makes a lot of money from data gathering, sharing, selling and its hard to imagine that Kobo can afford to turn all of that down. So in the end, I find the Kobo simply to be a more expensive competitor, without the UI (or privacy) benefits we might see if it were an Apple product. Consequently, I dont see much reason to go with Kobo unless you really dont want give more money to Amazon.

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

I had a kindle and this is so much better! integrates directly with Overdrive, most of the books I have wanted to read have been available. You get about twice as much bang for your buck as with Kindle. The books are slightly more expensive but you arent locked into a specific store to purchase them.

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!
