Lo compre por el cumpleaños de mi hija y le encanto

I waited until Black Friday to buy my Kobo, because I thought the original was a bit steep. Now I think of something happened to mine, Id immediately buy it again. Full price. It is THAT good. I dont even think I need to worry because its very sturdy, and I purchased a case to keep it in my bag. The Kobo is amazing, the text is pristine and crisp, and its so comfortable to hold. The buttons are very convenient, too, especially knowing that other brands who offer them, do it for a lot more money. I think the Kobo is currently the best option when it comes to ereaders, so its worth every penny. Edit: its been over a month and Im still in love! I was swayed by the 7 screen and the fact that its waterproof. I have pretty small hands (Im 411), so I was worried itd be too big and uncomfortable to carry everywhere, but its really not! It somehow looks bigger in pictures, but its about the size of a paperback, only a little wider. It is pretty lightweight and I can read while holding it with one hand. You can switch up the button commands very easily, I do it a lot when going from holding with one hand to the other. As I said, I have freakishly small hands and Ive had no issues so far, I think the size and weight are perfect! The only thing is that the cover does add some weight. I dont know how well they fare with bumps and being dropped (mine feels very sturdy but I worry about damaging the screen), but I keep mine in its case when Im not using it because of the weight, and luckily I havent dropped it over since I got it! Its been a joy to have it. I really think you should go ahead and take the plunge!

Very easily used. Good font size adjustments. The nighttime features for viewing are very good. Works well on airplanes with the lights out. Connects easily to the internet. The Power switch is poor design and does not work well. Reader hangs and does not start. Very slow to startup to get to reading menu.

I already own a Kobo Libra H20 . Overall I am happy with the Kobo Libra 2. It has an additional feature that I was looking forward to. It can play audio files. Unfortunately, it can only play audio files that you buy from Kobo. So if you want to upload your audiobooks, language courses or music, it will not work at all.

Muy buen porte para leer y transportar. Resistente aguanta agua y golpes, lo ocupo para leer mangas y de noche y no cansa la vista con el modo luz cálida. El unico problema es que aveces cuando lo enciendes no se inicia y debes reiniciarlo, pero es fácil solucionarlo apretando el botón de encendido y volumen.

This 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.

I upgraded from a Kindle Paperwhite 2018 and for the most part it’s been a noticeable improvement. Starting with some of the cons I noticed: Screen ghosts a bit more than other e-ink screens I’ve seen but it doesn’t get in the way of anything and you can adjust the refresh interval for the screen. Overall fit and finish isn’t as good as the kindles, the plastic feels creaky and there is a noticeable gap between the back cover and the internals, but that’s negated by a case. It’s also noticeably heavier than other e-readers and even more so with the case on. Finally while it supports more file types than the Kindles, for the full feature set you have to convert books to the proprietary .kpub format so sideloading has an extra step in the process. But all of those I can easily live with. The screen is fantastic, crisp and high-contrast, text and illustrations really pop on it. Backlighting is also incredibly even and has a lot of fine control for color temperature and brightness. The Kobo UI is leagues ahead of the Kindle’s, simple to navigate and use and makes important settings easy to access while being snappy and responsive. If you need an e-reader and don’t care for Amazon’s ecosystem or want a cheaper alternative to the Oasis, this is your best option IMO.

I upgraded to this from the original Paperwhite. While I loved my Paperwhite, it had no backlight and was showing sings of wear and tear. After a lot of research, I chose Kobo due to the native overdrive configuration. To be able to check out library books directly to my device was amazing. I love this thing! Its quick, snappy, I CAN READ AT NIGHT, and the ability to click buttons to turn the page is something I didnt realize I needed. I also love the placement of the power button on the back. I never accidentally lock it while reading. The Kobo store is more pricey than the kindle store (makes sense because kindle works out deals with their authors) but they have sales and your points build up quickly. I believe that it also accepts epubs natively if you need to sideload books bought on other platforms.

Great device for reading epub & pdf format. If you prize freedom from the Kindle constraints, this is the answer. Very comfortable using it for long periods of time. Technical quibble: should be able to sort books by filename.

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.
