This is literally the review I've been looking for. Thank you! This was the amount of in-depthness and detail that I wanted specifically for the My Notebooks section of the device. I'd prefer to have a device that can do it all instead of having to go back and forth between devices just to do the same thing and this really sold me on it. Incredible video, thanks!
I received my Kobo Libra colour today, and I love it! I didn't order the stylus as I already have the generation one stylus that works with the Elipsa and the Sage. I tried using it on my new Libra Colour and it works. I'm not sure why yours didn't work, but mine definitely does!
I read that they recently put out an update that forces you to register the kobo gen 2 pen to unlock those software features, and won't allow you to use any other pen. Was that your experience as well?
This is very good, overall high quality review on many points. But I think you missed the main technical point, the question everyone want to know about the eink display (which is the main "feature" of an e-reader). How the Kobo Colour screen color in BW compared with the Kobo BW. What is the tradeoff with this color e-ink display compared with BW (let's say, the Kobo BW to get a kobo vs kobo with the same software in background). How dark is the background side by side with a Kobo BW? Do we see the color layer added lines? What brightness settings to set on the Colour to get as confortable as a Carta 1300? in dark room, artificial light and sun? is it even possible to achieve it? I read a lot of BW ebooks on my current Kindle 3, and few physical manga. I'm ready to loose a little bit of confort in BW to be able to read colored manga, but no video show what we loose in BW.
I've just bought one. I come from a Kobo forma and have to say the advance is huge: better refresh, a more even light, better overall speed. I like the addition of color, especially when it comes to highlighting. I also have a Scribe and I'd say the feel of the pen is halfway between an iPad and the Scribe itself - which is way better - but it's a good compromise, for sure. I do find it useful to have a 'pocket size' ereader that's also good for taking notes. For those who wonder what it feels like when it comes to reading in B/W: yes, it does change a bit. It's a bit darker with no light on - but still very crisp - and it does feel like looking at a different type of screen, more similar to an LCD, maybe, with the light on. That is just MHO, but still. One should try and see it live to really understand if it fits one's needs. However more similar to a different kind of screen, keep in mind we're still talking about an ereader, with no direct light toward the eyes. For me, it's a yes! I love it! Great review, as always! 🎉
Same, best of all, after some googling, any stylus which supports mpp works for notetaking/annotating etc. so to my surprise, my unused work laptop stylus actually has a use now since it supports mpp.. ^_^ better than unnecessarily shilling out £80 on just a better magnetically fitting stylus.. Compared with the forma which I've had for a year, the front lighting is night and day in terms of evenness and doesn't exhibit that band of light down next to the buttons that forma has. And the colour array filter adds a subtle perception of grain.
@@riceshot9981 yeah, that band of dark light next to the buttons is awful. I even had mine replaced after I got my preorder back when the forma was released as I thought it was faulty but then I realised that's how they came. As to that grainy feeling, it doesn't bother me at all. Makes it look like a sheet of very porous paper and sort of makes it look more paperlike to me.
@@riceshot9981 I kinda like that grainy layer, it makes it look like porous paper, sort of. As to that darker stripe on the forma, good riddance at last!
@@HoangVu-wm2lk Paperwhite, for sure. Although, with the right setting of the light, it is pretty much the same. The real difference is when the light is off.
the physical page buttons actually do work with the UI @ 02:02 - in My Books it allows you to page through your library of book titles if more titles than can be displayed.
Amazing that it has all this integration right out of the box. I am deep in kindle and find great value in KU but a bit jealous of kobo, especially writing on the page. The pen leaves a bit to be desired (I don't think it is EMR?) and colour isn't for me so I am keen to see what other things come up with carta 1300 and wacom in future. I appreciated this demo and it gives a good vibe of the device.
@@magsol76 I'm late to you, but I know there is a Google drive application that allows you to have a Google drive folder like a folder on your computers filesystem. You could probably createna calibre library on that folder and use it for your device. Just theory though, I don't own the device or have used the function, but that's what I was possibly thinking of doing if I get it
I want this. I really do but I have so much invested in my kindle and audible library that I don’t want to start over again : ( If I could of loaded them in as apps I would have bought with out question. Guess I’ll just have to hope amazon has their own color e-ink in the future.
Stuck between kindle scribe and libra 2 color. Can I export my book scribbles? That's the most important thing I need 😅 Used to be a boox user but that one seems too overwhelming for me. Only kindle and kobo are the simple options. Though I mostly use kindle apps, but my books are sideloaded mostly so not a big deal. Also can I write on sideloaded epubs on kobo?
I had an awful experience with the tab mini c. I had to return it because the screen had some problems and the battery just lasted a week (never happened with other ereaders), and now I'm wondering if this is a better option
As much as I wanted to get this item I chose to go with the Bigme color. The option to have kindle and audible apps installed on it was a big seller for me and whenever Amazon gets around to their own color e-reader I will buy that too. If it’s good.
Thanks for the review! I just got mine, and I'm wondering how do you update "My Notebooks", because I only have "Agenda", and for example, I can't see what you have like the Notebook Templates or change the background... I would really appreciate if you can let me know! thanks!!
I think the repairability might be what converts me. I am not a huge enviornmentalist by any means, but I do love the idea of less intentional waste. Being able to repair instead of rebuy things makes sense, when a lot of those same companies who have the rebuy model are always touting climate change at us. I like the longevity of an investment.
Just received mine. The answer to THE question is: For colored manga, this Libra Colour is awsome, really. But there is a MASSIVE tradeoff, compared to any BW e-reader, when talking about BW quality. Tested outside with natural light, inside with artificial light, and in completely dark room: For BW novel, my 2019 Kindle 10, 167ppi, no warm light, is far, far, better. And even my Kindle 3 from 2010, is better outside with natural light... I'll keep it because I have a lot of colored manga to read, but I already know I'll get the Clara BW (or the next 6" Kindle, if they put Carta 1300 inside) when I'll go back to novel.
I got this a couple days ago. I'm loving it so far. I find the note-taking handy, and I love the integration with Google Drive. Edited To Add: I was playing around with it tonight, and I discovered that Kobo implemented a full Bluetooth stack on the Kobo, which means that you can connect a Bluetooth keyboard and type a note if you want to, without using the onscreen keyboard. This is also useful if you want to Rube Goldberg your way into using your keyboard as a very elaborate page turner. :)
Thanks, this video is really helpful for me. I have been wondering if the old kobo stylus can work on this device. I guess i will use it on the old elipsa. Too bad I bought 2 extra packs of nibs ...
I pre-ordered one on Amazon UK, still waiting, the seller was Kobo, appears out of stock now, looks like Amazon were taking pre-orders again without having stock reserved 🙄 Only used Amazon because I had a £50 gift voucher. Probs should have thought it through purchasing the competitor to the kindle on Amazon Anyone else having a similar issue with Amazon UK?
I love my Libra Color. Color really makes a difference in the experience for me. I also think that Amazon’s color Kindle might have an Oasis like body.
i bought it too but the reading quality of text is not as clean and sharp as in phone? is it normal? can u explain. also when i click something it gives a mili second black screen . why is that? pls help as its my first time buying a eboook
Thanks for the review. I have a Kobo Libra 1, would you say the better processors have a noticeable impact in speed and performance? Just switching from book to book, etc
Very nicely detailed review. I have a question about the highlighting feature. Is there an easy way to export the highlighted text (like if you want to compile a document of key messages from a book)? If so, do the exported highlights retain the colour you used? I haven't had much luck finding a good tutorial for previous Kobos. Thanks!
I'm getting the Kobo Libra Colour for my birthday. I chose it over the Colorsoft because the Colorsoft is more expensive and doesn't offer the pen capability.
I have a question, so if you download all the books from dropbox you will get automatically on the library or to read them you still need to go in My dropbox?
Officially speaking, officially... You need to buy their pen However people have found some crossover compatibility with other things like the Microsoft surface, etc, but we cannot officially condone those findings
NIce review! I've had a Kobo H20 since 2020, and I was always looking for an excuse to upgrade, but it should be a meaningful difference and I think it might be time.
The palm rejection isn’t the best for me on this. But I found a work around that I don’t mind using. I lay a microfiber cloth under my palm. It’s comfortable for me and also helps keep my screen clean 😅 and it moves around the screen easily for me when I move my palm.
Hi all, I'm just curious whether other stylus (microsoft surface pen or etc) would work with the Libra? I've already placed my order for Libra, but am hesitant to buy the stylus due to the price.
I've got my Libra Colour today and have tried the Metapen 1 . It works great and is only 1/3 of the price of the Kobo stylus! Every pen with MPP (Microsoft) should work.
Thanks for review. I'm using kobo libra h2o for 4 years. Do you think it is worth to upgrade for Libra colour? I guess screen resolution and cpu is same:(
So why this over an inexpensive tablet that can allow me to do more and get ebooks and audio books from my library using Libby and Hoopla? Honest question from a Kobo eReader in black and white that does not have access to audio books
How insightful! If you want anyone to take you seriously, try to express your thoughts and experiences beyond how a seven-year-old might regard vegetables.
It makes a lot of sense, because if the bezels were thin, there would be no place for you to put your hand while you take notes And there would be no room for the physical page turn buttons, so it makes a lot of sense
@@goodereader I think those are a functionallity I'd be willing to lose, if it meant I got a 7inch pocketable e-ink notepad. And you can put the buttons at the bottom.
the ghosting and refresh is horrible in BW, can't imagine it in colour. Looks worse than the Clara Colour which also had rainbow effect with every manga/comic page turn.
People should stop wanting to read books in PDF. It’s just a terrible format. Not responsive and worse for usar of accessibility tools. PDF should be kept for print.
You support and praise the big money companies, but you criticize flaws of small companies' ereaders causing them to go out of business. This tactic really surprises me.
It’s not his job as a TH-cam reviewer to give good reviews to small or big companies. No single Reviewer can make a company go out of business. Either the product is good or it’s not. That’s what gives a new product a chance to succeed.
As we have said countless times before, there is absolutely no way we can test batteries We have been over this constantly for the past decade There is no possible way due to the variables in climate, use cases, wireless, glow light levels, digitizer levels, content, side loaded, Wi-Fi on, Wi-Fi off, etc And we do not have aging tables where we leave batteries on, even if we did it would be years before we had empirical data to reference based off of each individual use case which involves thousands of variables There is no way to test batteries Not "fail"
@@goodereader You don't need to run any kind of ultimate, conclusive test in order to offer a small bit of insight into how much the battery went down in how many hours, under what settings and conditions. It doesn't need to reflect the absolute potential of the battery, but even offering a little bit of info can still give people a basic idea of what to expect, even given thousands of variables. I'm not criticizing the video or asking for that, I thought the video was great; I'm just suggesting that many of the people asking for battery results might appreciate a small bit of insight into how the battery held up in however long you used the device for.
Its a small device yes. If its too small it depends on your needs. For me it replaced my very small moleskin so it fits into my very small shoulder / side bag
That’s great that they’re making an effort to have their units be repairable. Exactly what we need.

Now we need a proper comparison with the bw for contrast/ confort in reading
I've asked for one for my upcoming (frighteningly high) Decade birthday. SO EXCITED!!
But can you transfer from dropbox/drive to the device memory permanently?
A nice feature would be to have a file manager

Yes, we didn't do a comparison because this isn't a comparison, the comparison is showcased in the comparison video, not the review

You mentioned it doesn’t use Carta 1300 for the BW layer. Do you know what it uses instead?
How is reading during the day with the backlight turned off? I've seen comparisons and Libra 2 is much more readable.
Like he said, expect to have around 10% brightness as a baseline to make it comparable to the BW with no light

Can you flip the device, so left handers can hold the bezel while taking notes?
Yes you can. You can also rotate to between portrait and landscape and also lock the screen so it doesn't flip.
Can you sideload PDFs or other content via OTG?
