I love books. The feel, the smell, nothing beats opening a new book or rereading a beloved favorite for the twentieth time. However, books are heavy, and they take up a ton of space, which comes at a premium when you dont live in the local library/arent allowed to line every wall with bookshelves by the significant other to make your place feel like a library. Enter ebooks. Yes, I know audio books are a thing and possibly even easier to use, but I read much faster than I listen, and even speeding up the reading I can finish multiple books in the time it would take to listen to the first audio book. So I started reading ebooks on my laptop, and moved to my tablet and phone. It was meh at best, and annoying to always have to drag a power cord for charging everywhere I went. Its also terrible for your eyes. But e-readers were barely better than the tablets, until e-ink technology arrived. But I still held off, until I finally started doing my research at the beginning of the year. Kindle seemed the only real choice, but I already had thousands of ebooks and it seemed a daunting task to figure out how to load them to a Kindle properly, and the thought of paying for a device that came with ads unless I paid even more just made me angry. So I bought a Kobo. And I fell in love. Ive been using my Kobo for months, dragging it to work, on planes, to the beach, out to the pool, the local parks, on road trips, to doctors offices, basically everywhere I go its in my purse. The screen is easy to read in the brightest sunlight and the darkest nights when I cant sleep without finishing just one more chapter at barely 5% brightness, and the night mode makes the screen comfortably warm so the blue light doesnt bother me. I can easily get a week or more of reading between charges with the wifi turned off, and adding my own books from outside sources is a piece of cake. I cant speak for the audio book usability, but I have hundreds of books on my device with barely a dent in the available memory, and borrowing books from the library with Overdrive is a snap. The feel of the reader isnt a book, but it still feels solid without being heavy or awkward, and I love the buttons for turning the pages rather than being entirely touchscreen. The USB C also makes it easier to charge as most of my other electronics use the same type of cable. The only hiccup is in adding books from Barnes and Noble, as their file type is essentially unusable with anything not running their Nook software, but there are workarounds for everything. The magnetic screen off and on with the case I bought from Amazon is also great because I can close my book at any time without needing to find a bookmark or remember a page number. I can also skip between books to my hearts content and I never need to worry about losing my place because the reader remembers where I am in every book! If youre on the fence about getting an e-reader for reading books, this is the one to try. If you want something that can also browse the internet or have multiple apps, buy a tablet. This thing is solid as a rock for the serious reader. You wont regret it!

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

I 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.

Man. I’m so glad I switched from the paperwhite. This libra 2 is 1000x better. Great battery life, way easier to hold. Perfect size. Love that I can read horizontal or vertical. The buttons are amazing. Like I cannot recommend this enough. It integrates so well with calibre if you use that to organize your books!!

The unit died the first day I used it, screen froze and no response, could not shut off or reset. Amazon return was painless, they sent a new unit the day I contacted them and instructions on return, took it to Kohls and took 5 minutes to complete. The Libre 2 is nice works great (so far). Easy to use and screen is very good. My daughter has the new Paperwhite, a much better built unit and the screen is better than the Libre 2. I may order one of them for myself as a back up.

I have the first version of this eReader, which I love. But this new one is even better. First and foremost - - the backlight. Version one had inconsistent lighting. The left hand side of the screen was a little lighter than the rest of the screen. It wasnt a deal breaker, but it was annoying. Well thats gone now. The screen is perfectly and uniformly lit. Second, it seems like the text is even crisper than before. Maybe its the better consistency of the lighting, but this text just seems more clear. Third, they moved the power button. That makes more of a difference than I thought it would. The version one power button is a lousy button on the side that never quite felt right. And if you have a case on your reader, it made the power button almost inaccessible. With the power button on the back of the reader, its now easily reached, even with a case. Finally, the USB-C port. Nice touch. All in all, definitely a worthwhile purchase.

Great e-reader. Went from a Nook that was losing battery power by the day. So far this Kobo is way better. It’s not only that it has an extra inch in size, but it is easier to handle and to turn the pages. Very pleased so far.

My daughter in law loves it
