5.0 out of 5 stars IDK What to Put Here
EDIT: Previously, I mistakenly stated that this has no security, but it does in the form of a PIN. I've updated my review to reflect that, and bumped it up to 5 starsThis is my first eReader so I have no comparison of performance compared to others. I'll list the cons first in case there are any deal-breakers for people, then they can stop reading and look for something else.Cons:-No SD/microSD slot-No NAS drive option-No headphone jack-Will get you addicted to readingNeutrals:-Looks like something from old Star TrekPros:-Clear, readable text-Decent Colour-Readable in blinding sunlight-Super lightweight-Great battery life-Supports Google Drive, Overdrive & Dropbox-Probably won't shatter when you drop itDespite a few drawbacks, I still greatly enjoy this eReader. I don't foresee myself needing more than 32GB of storage for books, as I'm not an audio book guy (yet), and even so, I can transfer anything from my laptop to the Libra anyway. But still, I do have a NAS drive and microSD cards lying around, so being able to use those would've been a nice feature for peace of mind and feeling like I didn't overspend on tech stuff (lol). Maybe one day we'll get an OTA update that let's us use NAS drives.Now for the cool stuff! I wasn't completely sold on an eReader since I already have a tablet, but I decided to buy one anyway to see what the fuss is about, and I ultimately still love this thing. It's incredibly light and doesn't tire my hands like a tablet or a book, and being able to fit so many books onto something so small still wows me. Dang it, I just love technology! Syncing this with Google Drive just makes things even better.I've never dropped this thing but it looks a lot more durable than a glass phone, or even a tablet, and I'm confident it can survive a few drops. If you're someone who frequently drops stuff, I'd still buy a case for the aesthetic, if anything- this looks like it was designed by the same people who designed Star Trek Voyager computers. But maybe that's the case for all eReaders, no pun intended.Thanks to my allergies, I dislike going outside, but I did bother to test it in direct, blinding, sunburnable light and the brightness still makes things more than readable. If you're someone who likes to pretend they're a White Lotus character and reads on the beach with sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat, this can be a part of your prop arsenal. Personally, I like to read in bed before I go to sleep and I haven't dropped it on my face yet. As far as colour is concerned, it doesn't look as nice as my tablet or phone, but maybe that's asking too much. Apparently, colour eReaders are a mindblowing new thing so it might wow you.I haven't fully converted and sub'd to their book shop, so I can't comment on the experience there; I still have my Kindle Unlimited sub still active and may also buy a Kindle to see how the experience compares. I do notice that the Kindle app on my tablet tries to sell me new books hardcore and is way more in my face than this shop's. Despite that, I might end up with two book subs since it's current_Year and everyone has 10 streaming subs anyway. Carrying around two eReaders is definitely not as physically demanding as carrying two thick books. If you have the expendable income, why not have the best of both worlds?In short, this Libra Colour is gas. I've reconnected to my nerdy childhood and I'm reading tonnes more thanks to it. For anyone who loves reading, this is an amazing experience with ridiculous battery life compared to a phone or tablet, and won't strain your eyes.5 Ryan Reynolds'!
5.0 out of 5 stars Switched from Kindle and I'm in love
I was disappointed when Kindle discontinued their Oasis and didn't release any kindles with page turn buttons.. which led me here!This device is super comfortable to hold with or without a case and the page turn buttons are amazing. They click well while not being noisy.I personally love the UI so much more than Kindle's. I find it to be a lot less glitchy as well. Kobo Plus is also pretty good but obviously there will be some books that aren't available due to being exclusive with KU.Having Overdrive on the device itself is also a huge plus, I only wish you could be logged into multiple cards at one time on the device.The screen will probably be hit or miss for most people. I actually really like it because to me it looks more like real paper as opposed to an electronic screen. If you've used the Paperwhite or Boox Page, this definitely doesn't look like that due to the color screen. It is a bit more grainy and almost looks like you're reading on a newspaper. I find myself preferring this actually because of the more authentic look to a physical book.The colors are good in my opinion too. Don't expect extremely vibrant colors as this isn't an iPad, it's still e-ink.The daily book deals on the Kobo store are also a good selection.The note-taking feature is perfect. I really love that you can write anywhere on the screen and change highlight / pen colors. My complaint is that the stylus doesn't come with Kobo Libra though. And the stylus is expensive.
5.0 out of 5 stars Kindle's biggest competitor
Probably one of the best Kindle competitors on the market.As someone who doesn't want to give Bolo absolutely all of my information and money (even though I'm sure they still do somehow), all of my e-reader research led me to Kobo.The e-reader itself is great quality. Buttons are clicky, screen ppi is great, device isn't too heavy. It is a plastic device, and in my hands it was a little bit slippery, but that was fixed with a case I was going to put on it anyway. Its incredibly easy to use, whether you want to use the Kobo Store or just load your own ebooks. Has great integrations with multiple cloud solutions, like Google Drive, so loading new ebooks without a computer right in front of you is a breeze.Probably the biggest downside to this device is the color reproduction. It is actually surprisingly good, but color ereaders are never going to capture the same thing as an actual comic book or graphic novel in front of you. So I'm not going to take any stars off for this since it has more to do with the genre of color ereaders as opposed to this one in particular.The only big downside to going with a non-kindle device is the lack of the Kindle store. For better or for worse, Bolo has an absolute choke hold on most publishing rights to both ebooks and audio books. If you're a non-kindle user like me, Kindle just has so many more exclusives that its really hard to compete. With some know how (and an internet connection), you can get around that fairly easily, but for someone who doesn't want to sail the seas, depending on what you want out of an e-reader, a Kindle might be a better choice. That really pains me to admit it, but that's more a complaint towards Bolo that it is a review of this Kobo. Hopefully one day Bolo will be sued for anti trust and anti consumerism to fix this, but until then, the best way to fight them is by using our wallets.Yes I see the irony of this review literally being on Bolo after complaining about Bolo.

Pasé de un Kindle Oasis ( descontinuado). Y me he adaptado muy bien a este lector. Adaptas la luz, más fría o más cálida. Lo del subrayado a colores es lindo. También compré el lapiz aunque no lo vi tan necesario porque no hago anotaciones y creo que si cambias el zoom de la página como que se pierde o cambia de lugar lo que anotaste. Tip: compra la funda original tipo “origami” para que puedas pararlo en una mesa etc. Gran lector :)
good product
great product, arrived in great condition and works perfectly fine.
Súper recomendable
Lo amo, ya llevo poco más de un año con él y a mí se me facilita más leer así que en libro, me gusta el ajuste de brillo y tonalidad para la noche. Es ligero, no pesa y me encanta. Se golpeó un poco y eso me pasa por no comprarle su funda desde un inicio, así que si lo compras, si o si cómprale una carcasa.
Se puede sincronizar con dropbox y meter tus propios libros en pdf
Funciona muy bien..trabsu cable para carga, no trae cubo pero pues se usa otro.
