I love this WAY more than I thought I would. It is sooo user friendly and has so many features I didn’t think I would appreciate as much as I do. The screen is so sharp and crisp and can be adjusted to get it nice and bright with the simple swipe of your finger up or down on the left side of the screen. The pages load way faster than my kindle paperwhites did. It fits so perfectly in my hand and the buttons are my absolute favorite part of the entire device. You can adjust which button turns the page forward vs backward. I was surprised and impressed with how quickly the screen reorients based on how you are holding it. I thought I wouldn’t know what to do with myself switching from the kindle to this, but I’m so glad I went with the kobo libra 2. The store is easy to use, and the books download quickly when purchased on the device and send quickly to your device if you buy a book on the website from your phone. The only thing I hope for with this device is that I can figure out how to load my audible books to this device. I used to use the kindle app on my iPhone to listen to whatever book I was currently reading while driving in the car. I liked the “immersive reading” experience the kindle provided in that it would save my spot between an audio and e-book, allowing me to transition between the two seamlessly. I prefer to read on my tablet, but while driving I like to switch to the he audiobook so that I can finish my books faster. I really hope Kobo figures out a way to provide something similar. Perhaps this is already possible, but I haven’t yet bought both an audio and ebook from the Kobo store. Once I finish the current book I’m reading I will try this out and update my review if I have any luck. I still think this is a five star device.

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, I'd immediately buy it again. Full price. It is THAT good. I don't even think I need to worry because it's very sturdy, and I purchased a case to keep it in my bag.

The Kobo is amazing, the text is pristine and crisp, and it's 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 it's worth every penny.

Edit: it's been over a month and I'm still in love! I was swayed by the 7' screen and the fact that it's waterproof. I have pretty small hands (I'm 4'11''), so I was worried it'd be too big and uncomfortable to carry everywhere, but it's really not! It somehow looks bigger in pictures, but it's 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 I've 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 don't 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 I'm not using it because of the weight, and luckily I haven't dropped it over since I got it!

It's been a joy to have it. I really think you should go ahead and take the plunge!

So I'm new to "readers," but have read off my tablet for a long time. I'm not a big reader, but I'm trying to do that more, so a nice, light-weight, dedicated reader seemed like it would help. I chose this one because it has OverDrive already in place and ready to go -- and I read mostly library loan books, so I thought that would be more convenient. I had a couple of hiccups getting that working (mostly my ignorance).

I don't have any previous experience to compare it to (except it's far superior to reading on a tablet), but I'll say that reading is a pleasure. Good screen, touch-screen or buttons work perfectly. I thought the small screen would bother me, but it's so easy to page up it's not an issue at all. I love that it has auto-rotate, I'm learning that for holding it when I'm reading outside I like vertical where I can hold the large side handle, but I have a "thing" to hold it while I sit leisurely by the window indoors, and then I prefer horizontal. It's okay to be spoiled :-)

It has very nice and easy adjustments - just slide a bar to increase type size or brightness. I like their typeface and spacing options. I've had it for four days and I'm mostly playing with it so far, and it's lost half its charge in that time. I don't think that's a huge deal, but others have commented about it.

I'm struggling a little about just one thing -- it does not support the X-Ray feature that Kindle has to keep track of characters -- for whatever reason I have a problem remembering the names of the many secondary characters even a day later, and I have used X-Ray pretty regularly to keep up. I like that feature. It may only available on Kindles, but for an expensive and high-end reader, I think it should have such useful features as this. But the quality of the screen (and the bigger size) are top notch.

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 don't live in the local library/aren't 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. It's 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. I've 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 doctor's offices, basically everywhere I go it's in my purse. The screen is easy to read in the brightest sunlight and the darkest nights when I can't sleep without finishing just one more chapter at barely 5% brightness, and the night mode makes the screen comfortably warm so the blue light doesn't 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 can't 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 isn't 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 heart's content and I never need to worry about losing my place because the reader remembers where I am in every book!

If you're 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 won't regret it!

Perfect in every way. Perfect size. Perfect back Lighting. I love the flexibility of being able to read it vertically or horizontally and I love the flexible settings for page swipe, Font size etc. It’s just exactly what I wanted. Very lightweight and compact yet a nice size for your hand. You won’t regret this purchase if you are already a digital reader user. I have also tried a Kindle and it’s fine but I prefer the Kobo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great eBook (but w/ one exception)…
Reviewed in Canada on November 11, 2023
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
Originally, I chose the Kobo because my local library offers a tremendous range of e- and audiobooks. They support Kobo and not other platforms. I also chose a Kobo because it’s apparently Canadian in origin. Additionally I was excited to begin journaling and note-taking with.
The build quality is superb: it feels solid and and the incorporated case is attractive and functional with its in-built stand and useful strap for one-handed holding. Excellent view-ability from sunlight to pitch black bedroom conditions.
My alluded to concern was with its suggested (by Kobo itself) inability to take advantage of the company’s own Kobo Stylo. I was quite disappointed about this until I found myself idling in the aisles of a dollar store (“Dollar Tree”) and spotted a fabulous stylo with four different functions: the requisite silicon tip for use on “all touch surfaces,” a ballpoint pen that peeks out at the twist of the cap; and the addition of two tiny and unobtrusive chrome buttons that activate a flashlight function and a piercing red laser suitable for presentations. AND instead of shelling out close to $90 for the incompatible Kobo stylo, this little gem of a stylo cost an extraordinary price of $1.50!!!
Needless to say, this stylo was a steal and it helped establish my choice of the Libra 2 as a fine choice indeed.
