Kobo Libra Colour Black | Liseuse eBook Couleur | Écran Couleur E Ink Kaleido™ 3 sans Reflets de 7" | Option Mode Sombre | Étanche | Livres Audio | 32 Go de Stockage | Noir

I was using a Kindle 8th Gen for last 8 years and it is still working perfectly, the only issue I had was it did not have a Backlight and so I couldn't read at night time, I was in a dilemma if I should go for another Backlit Kindle then came across Kobo Libra Colour and saw many reviews on YouTube and finally went for it. Pros : The Physical Page change buttons are awesome and you only realize their importance when you start using them, the fingers rest on them by default and you don't have to put any efforts to change the page, only after using it i understood how bad my Kindle UI was as now I don't have to touch my screen every time. Battery Life is excellent and lasts weeks. The Book Cover display in screen when the device is in sleep mode is just amazing and you feel like it's a real book and feel to pick it up to read. Very light weight and doesn't strain the wrist or hand, the Dark Mode is great for Night Reading, the Unpacking experience was also so nice, the Home Page is clean & non intrusive and doesn't push any ads for new books etc. Cons : The Online Book catalogue is small compared to Kindle but I have my own e books collection so it's fine for me and Yes the price is on the higher side. Expectations: Don't buy this device thinking that you can read comics like Tintin, Asterix etc because the screen is small 7 inch and so reading the words is tough, I tried putting in all my comics but then removed them because I didn't want to zoom and read them, also as we all are habituated to see bright Colour popping AMOLED displays in our mobile screens, but it's not the case here so the colours on this E Ink display will feel really washed out but that is expected because it's meant to read mostly books and manga at most, I am reading Dilbert, Calvin and Hobbes in it as they don't have too many words. Verdict: I am really happy with my Kobo Libra Colour, it's an amazing Device highly recommended for people who love to read books, the colour is just Cherry on the Top.

È il mio primo eReader. Perché ho preso proprio questo? Perché: - Volevo uno schermo a colori (occasionalmente mi piace anche leggere qualche fumetto). - Volevo il supporto penna (occasionalmente al lavoro prendo appunti su carta, spero di portarmi dietro questo risparmiandomi il blocco note fisico). - Volevo un oggetto piccolo, leggero, di cui quasi non mi accorgessi di portarmi dietro. - Volevo farmi coccolare dal software, che in questo Kobo è abbastanza ben fatto, veloce, reattivo, con integrazioni interessanti (Dropbox e Google Drive) per inserire file senza dover collegare cavi e cavetti ai PC per passarmi i file: ha il Wi-Fi, si mette il PDF nella cartella di Google Drive e lui vede il file e può scaricarlo ed aprirlo senza alcun problema. - Volevo una gestione intelligente dell'illuminazione del pannello (regolazione automatica della tonalità dello schermo e altre chicche che non vi distruggono le retine), per massimizzare il tempo di lettura. Ha dei difetti? Sì, non è perfetto. - Lo schermo, essendo a colori, è un filo "scuro"; a meno che non sia colpito direttamente da una luce forte avrete sempre la tentazione di accendere l'illuminazione frontale. - La batteria non è eclatante: con Wi-Fi e Bluetooth spenti, la prima carica mi è durata una quindicina di giorni nei quali ho letto circa un migliaio di pagine (un romanzo da 700 e un altro libro da circa 250 pagine). Questo è a causa della retroilluminazione che, per l'appunto, avrete sempre la tentazione di tenere accesa, riducendo di conseguenza la durata della batteria. - A colori dimezza la risoluzione; è un "non problema" in quanto la risoluzione è comunque sufficiente a leggere le linee di dialogo dei fumetti, ma ad alcuni, magari con una vista non proprio perfetta, potrebbe dare fastidio. - Non chiedetegli di fare altro che non sia leggere libri, PDF o prendere appunti: il software è ben fatto ma minimale, il dispositivo non ha un browser (ha un browser ma è sperimentale e non supporta quasi nessuno standard moderno per la visualizzazione delle pagine). Per quello che deve fare sono super soddisfatto.

Très contente de mon achat, la barre sur le coté permet une bonne prise en main, l’utilisation est assez instinctive, l’écran ne fatigue pas les yeux surtout le soir. Je recommande je ne regrette vraiment pas mon achat

I am an avid reader with approximately 500+ physical books… Shhh, I know there’s only 365 days in a year, but I love my books. As an alternative to hauling at least 3 books in my bag, I invested in a Kobo. I say “invested” because this is an e-reader at a slightly higher price point. I would also recommend you spend the extra few $$ and invest in a case and screen protector (plastic one works very well). Even with those expense in mind, this is an investment well worth every hard earned dollar as I find myself reaching for my Kobo Libra Colour at least once every couple of days. This e-reader is the perfect alternative when my hands need a break from holding a book or I’m multitasking reading between several and don’t want to be literally surrounded by scattered books. Battery Life: Absolutely amazing! It charges quickly and drains slowly… even when I doze off and leave the screen on for hours. Accessibility: I can easily; as well as quickly download/integrate my other libraries, PDFs, comics, ebooks via wifi from Google Drive, Libby, Overdrive etc... Layout: Ergonomic and user friendly. I want to especially highlight how much I appreciate the ability to tap the screen OR press PHYSICAL buttons to turn pages. - Navigation and customization is simple even for those who are not tech savvy. - Lightweight enough it can be used handled or with a case that has a stand or handheld strap. I personally use a folio case that has a little kick stand, two handheld straps (for ambidextrous use), cut outs to facilitate charging and an elastic loop for my Kobo Stylus. Storage: Not expandable, but you get a hefty 32GB. However, if you run into storage issues check the “manage my books” options and sort by “file size” to see if you have any unusually large files. Overall, it’s been a little over 6-months and I am still extremely satisfied that I purchased this specific brand of colour e-reader. Main reasons being: exceptional ergonomic design (light weight & physical buttons), premium feel, ease of use and accessibility, & am easily able to integrate my other libraries/files. It has made for a much more dynamic way of to enjoy reading!

Kobo brought us the tunable backlight, meaning the color temperature is adjustable from warm to cool. This is great for evening reading and it washes evenly without causing eye fatigue. I also like the wide variation in dimming ability so you can get the brightness just right in darker reading environments, which is crucial for us evening readers who may share a bed with earlier risers. It is easy to add files from a private library of PDF or EPUB files (Calibre or drag-and-drop) and a charge can last many weeks depending on how you use it. I find the physical form-factor to be easy to hold in either hand, and it automatically changes its justification to match your rotation. For those looking for the perfect color eink display to read graphic novels with, this isn't quite it. The colors are muted and will not do the artwork justice. This is a limitation of the technology, however, and at this price point you will not find an actual eink display that will outperform all features. If you are shopping for an eink reader you likely already know the difference between a true backlit LCD display and an eink panel, so this isn't likely a surprise. That said, I do appreciate the extra color dimension when viewing the thumbnails and seeing the covers in color does bring a little more joy to my inner geek. I've owned several older Kobo ereaders that hovered in this price point and I can say that this one has been my favorite. It is responsive with font-size adjustments, page turns, book loads, and waking. While the battery life is good, it will discharge if you leave it on standby/ idle for extended periods (weeks) without use or charging. Overall, for me this has been a great product.
