    I love the plastic toy feel of the Kobo. Im over every device I have feeling "premium" and metallic. Plus the kobo feels soo much lighter!

      I agree it’s much lighter in the hand. It’s great for people with arthritis because of that.

      I have the Oasis and now the Tolino Vision Color (which is basically the Libra Color but due to brand shenanigans, Tolino = Kobo in Germany) and boy, now that it's colder it's so nice not to have to pick up that cold Oasis! I still love the Oasis and some things are better on that device but the color and annotation is so nice on the Kobo. The Libra Color seems like a mix of the Kindle Oasis and Kindle Scribe (and now I guess Kindle Colorsoft lol).

      im so disappointed they didnt do a colored oasis in the vein of the libra colour so kindle users could have a button option!

    Thank you for this video. I’ve been wanting to upgrade to a color e-reader but didn’t want to pay $280 for the colorsoft. I know it’s only $60 difference in the price but I feel like you get so much more with the Libra.

      You truly do get so many more features! I was pretty sad that kindle just said “here’s the same old paperwhite, but in color” lol

    I set the upper switch to page advance and it falls perfectly under my thumb. My other ereader is a Kindle Paperwhite Signature and I find that I have far less eye strain with the Kobo. The Kindle offers such a sharp contrast between the black print and the bright white background, where as the Kobo Libre Colour background is closer to what would compare to a paperback book page colour. Comparing the Kindle and the Kobo Libre Colour, the Kindle lives in a drawer, and the Kobo is my favourite daily read. Thanks for another great video.

      I also find that my kindle now lives in a drawer 😂 and I agree the black contrast on the kindle is much too strong lol and I find the color of the pag background with the kobo does feel closer to looking at paper 🔥

    Amazon’s customer service definitely needs some work. Love that all kobo products come with no ads and they offer you to borrow books from your library before buying. Definitely will be my next purchase 💙

    • @reading_faerie
      @reading_faerie  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I love the library integration! And also in the box they have a little pamphlet that explains how it’s build to last and they encourage third party repairs so you can own it as long as possible whereas Amazon is like “just buy a new one” 🤡 I’m glad to have disentangled myself from their e-reader eco system

    I am already sold on the koba libra, but this video only firmed up the decision. I've never owned an e-reader - I have only started reading again this year. I have arthritis and chronic pain and the fact that it's less bulky and lighter is a win in my book! I'm also going to get a sleeve from that Etsy person - she has cute designs!

    🍄Great video! I was eyeballing this the other day and was curious how it compared to the kindle paperwhite. I don't have anything to read on except my Ipad or phone and it's killing my eyes. I had a Barnes and Noble Nook wayyyy back when they first came out but never replaced it when it bit the dust so I am def on the market for a good e-reader now. Can't wait for the follow up vid on your overall thoughts as you've used it more. Question about the KOBO tho - can you access the kindle store on it? I have Kindle Unlimited and lots of ebooks I purchased on my kindle - could I access those on here and possibly my barnes and noble account as well?

    • @reading_faerie
      @reading_faerie  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You can’t access kindle unlimited but any book you have paid for with your own money you can move over to the kobo which I have a video showing that’s going up Thursday, I won’t lie it’s just a bit tedious at first but once you’re set up it’s easy!
      I am loving using the kobo more and more each day. The screen is nice, the colors are really cool. It responds fast and I love the buttons! Some people complain because it’s “not as bright” as a kindle but I never put my brightness over like 20% anyways so it isn’t a factor for me lol
      I’m not sure if you can get Nook books moved over, I’m assuming if you can download them to your computer then the same method I use in my next video will also apply but I don’t have a nook so I have no experience with that! But I have absolutely moved over all my kindle purchases.

    Thanks for such a good video! I love your aesthetic and book choices in the background. I am going to convert to a kobo after being a long term kindle girl. I had the original keyboard one and paperwhites after that, but I am finding I don't like Amazon's practices and the fact that they delete books at their leisure even if you have bought them... So I am converting my library to ePUB to put on my kobo when I get it.

    I wanted to love it! but I just didn't. I found the ease of use to be nonsexist, it is very glitchy when trying annotate, but the time I got it work for me, the thought was gone. It felt too big. I wish I would have loved it. I also won't annotate often or use the notebook or need color so I returned it.
