I also have a small space and this is a realistic bookshelf. Congrats on your new job!

Hi, I'm so glad I stumbled upon your reviews. They are the best by far in giving a good all round review of the Kobo Libra, especially one that is done after having tried it for a while, unlike the others that were mostly unboxing, as you mentioned in your other video. Your videos have helped me a lot in my decision making. I'm deciding between the Kindle Oasis or the Kobo Libra2, having been a kindle, as well as a Kobo user. I have one question which most likely will help me seal the deal on which to purchase. I'm curious, and i may have missed it, but why did you switch from a kindle Oasis to a Kobo Libra, aside from the colour factor? Thank you.

Have you tried Donna Tartt's The Secret History? That's a great read.

thank you for this video

the slow pages turn is due to the epub format instead of the Kepub format that can be converted from Calibre with the proper Kepub extension..then you will see the difference night and day...Reddit Kobo will explain better

Sup man, just found your channel while looking at Kobo Libra Colour reviews/options from real people/readers. Been watching through a lot of your other videos and got to this one and thought I would wish you a belated happy birthday and say best of luck starting your new job as a mental health nurse next month! Looking forward to your future videos now I am subscriber 634 😁

The Body Keeps the Score is a good one also. I haven't finished it yet but I'm working on it 😊

I highly recommend "good morning, monster" by Catgerine Gildiner. It's by a therapist and her 5 most memorable cases.

This was like going to the bookshop with a mate. Thank you and well done! Good luck with MH nursing

Living in an apartment I have so little space for books that I find I can only keep my absolute favourites... So I've just made the leap into ebooks and have bought myself a Kobo Libra Colour and am really enjoying it so far. Congratulations and good luck with the new job! And that Stitch... adorable!

I am reading The Summer Pact by Emily Giffin. Very interesting novel about two young women and man who forge a written agreement in university -after a female university friend died -that they would always in the future be availabe and present in person to support each other if life got very tough. Fast and enjoyable read. Thanks for the reading time out😊

I’ve gone from a Kobo Elipsa 10.3/Pen to a Pocketbook 10.3 colour/Pen. older, so I appreciate having the extra screen size. I wanted colour and I almost bought the same Kobo as you, but again….older and eyes. I either take my Kobo with me into dialysis or an iPad 12.9. having the ability to carry thousand’s of books is priceless. And although I’m medically retired from being a technician I still keep up with chemistry/biochemistry/pharmacology. By the way, it seems as if you have similiar tastes in fiction to myself. I strongly recommend the newish Stephen King book; Holly. I totally get what you mean by having the colour covers brightening up the day. I’m looking forward to reading colour graphic novels (comics). Tom

Happy Birthday! My wife bought me The Betrayal of Thomas True for my Birthday back in July. If you are looking fro dragon books, I finished Dragon Rider by Taran Matharu a couple of days ago and it was so good, absolutely flew through it!

I am mulling over grabbing this. Have the non-colour Libra, and wondering if it's worth it? Moved from Kindle years ago. And now I am boycotting Authors that "only" sell on Amazon...which should not even be legal.

I love my Kobo Libra Colour and have never regretted buying it. This is my first Kobo, so I did have to adjust to the differences from Kindle, and I struggled a bit for the first week. But after a while, I got used to it. Things that initially bothered me don’t bother me at all anymore, or I’ve found a way around them. There are still a few minor things that I don't like, but they're small compared to all the amazing functions this device provides. Maybe not for everyone, but it works for me. As for the stylus, I do think it's overpriced, and I wasn't sure how much I'd actually use it, so I went with an alternative--the Metapen for about $30 and it works great so far. I don't worry about scratches because I always use a screen protector. I'm enjoying the experience more and more. Of course, it won't fit in the cover case with a pen holder, but I only use the pen at home, where I do most of my reading, so it isn't an issue.

Near dark was my favorite vampire movie in the 80's lol

Great video!! I'm buying one right now!!

This review was spot on. I have the kobo clara color and I love it with the same caveats as you. One more, I wish we could resize the book covers on the library. They would look better bigger. And that feauture would be amazing. The color is more washed, but it's still beautiful.

I've found setting brightness to 10% is sufficient for night reading. Got the same butter color cover. Love linking to library Overdrive and Google Drive folder. Also surprised to discover my HP stylus worked with it too.

Anne McCaffrey! Dragons of Pern series! It's not new, but it's really good.

I really like your review. I have the Clara Colour and I totally agree because I bought my various readers (Kindle, Kobo, Boox Palma) for reading ebooks, nothing else.

I would add: you can't use multiple library cards with the Kobo (whereas you can with Kindle via Libby sync), the annotation experience is a little clunky (not a lot of room in the margins even if you increase them in the settings), and no handwritten sticky notes (which would be helpful for longer annotations given the limitations in margins). i was really excited about this device but ended up returning it. Hoping Kobo can fix these issues so I can move away from Amazon.

Thanks for the explanation. For me, I got recommend from UA-cam because I was curious about the e-ink and e-reader. I have wishlist it and other cheap accessories in the future me to buy them or not.

Hello!! That's the first video of yours that I watch and I love the way you express yourself and the passion you have about reading. I am quite lost on this subject and I'm asking for your help! I have an old Kobo Aura 2 which I probably bought about 8 years ago, and I love it! It still works fine, and I enjoy reading with it. However, I mainly read at night because my brain has decided that reading is a night-time activity, so I'd like to have a new e-reader that comes with a night light. I would like to have an e-reader with the shape of the Libra Color, but here comes the dilemma. I seldom read any color content. I might read some manga if I had a bigger screen (and most of them are B/W anyway), and I'm a bit concerned that the Libra Color may not offer a great B/W experience. Unfortunately, they discontinued the Libra 2. I really do not want to get involved with anything Amazon sells since I like to have freedom with the repositories and libraries I can get books from, and I love the Kobo OS and general experience. What should I do? Wait for Kobo to release a new device, hoping they will make a B/W version? Upgrade to the Libra Color? Or just keep the one I already have that works perfectly?

I also haven't had any issues either and I bought it at launch, I read graphic novels and everything and I don't have any of these issues. My only semi gripe in the beginning when I first bought it is the darkness of the screen but Ive adjusted to it now.

Hope you had a swell birthday 🎂 ❤

My only issue so far with this KOBO is that you can only have one library signed in at a time through Overdrive/Libby. If not for this flaw I'd get rid of my Kindle.

happy birthday! i personally went into fourth wing with pretty decent expectations (as i read a lot from the genre) and it still ended up Not My Vibe. though the writing is easy to get to and wasn't at all boring, i just personally did not like where the story went and how it went about it, if that makes sense? but don't let me deter you from reading, i'd love to know your thoughts on it too! the dragons were DEFINITELY the best part of the book, btw

I like the vibe of your channel!! Great video. Keep them coming. I have both Libra Colour and Kindle paperwhite and I love them both. They each have their redeeming qualities.

If you like dragons, you might like Robin Hobb. The Rain Wild Chronicles is about dragons. The first one is "Dragon Keeper". I read The Liveship Traders series by her and thought the writing and story were *fantastic*

Happy birthday Average Reader! 🥳 I hope you enjoyed your time with your family. I am very sorry about your experience with Crohn’s and the terrifying surgery experience you had. I’m really glad you’ve recovered and seem to be doing well. Glad you took on booktube, you’re doing great! I like Greek Mythology fiction too. The last one I read that I enjoyed was Elektra by Jennifer Saint. The Song of Achilles was the best one I have ever read but I believe Madeline Miller is an exceptionally gifted writer… I love everything she writes. Fourth Wing - I love dragons too! I typically lean towards more action, historical fantasy, and war dragons and stuff like that over the romance types BUT I really enjoyed Fourth Wing! I read it in a day or two. And I cried, lol. I had some qualms with the protagonist, and felt she kept taking me out of the story. But I adored the dragons in the book and the magic/school system. It was a fun read. Happy reading!

Happy Birthday to a fellow Leo! 🎉

Your birthday is August 7? My birthday is August 8! Happy birthday to us! 🎉

Happy Birthday! 😃

Hope you have a very happy birthday! 🎉 Myth of Normal is great. (I work in mental health as a school psychologist and that was our department group read this year). I’m putting that X-men book on my TBR. (Marvel fangirl!)

Happy Birthday 🎉

Happy Birthday! 🥳🎂

Happy Birthday!🎈

I do hope that someday we can hand write in the add note to highlight feature. Overall, I’m so happy with mine 😁

I am in the market for a new e-reader to replace my lost Paperwhite. Casual and never got ingrained in the Kindle store so I am flexible to try other options. Paperwhite felt a tad to small for me and the Oasis I can't get past that it has not been updated for so long and does not even have C-Type charging yet. Kobo seems to have come a long ways with the book and audio store (even though I will likely try to use library more and more) so it is pretty attractive to me over other options. I don't plan on needing color persay, but I would LOVE the idea that the book covers look so nice to flip through. Most manga is black and white anyway past the first few pages sometimes. I don't plan to read a ton of Manga, but I do plan to do so a little, and the Paperwhite was really not great because the text is so small. That is why I am torn between two devices right now. The Libra Colour and the Sage. Although I don't "need" the color, I find the option desirable and it seems to be an easy to handle device. While the Sage with the larger screen will handle the times I do read manga so much nicer I am betting, but at the expense of worse battery life and a bit bulkier to handle. I don't really care about the scribe stuff. I think if there was an updated Forma, it would be a no brainer for me, but for now, I am so torn between these two devices.

Thank you for having such a well rounded review of the device. I currently have a kindle & read from all genres & medias of books. I don’t own a tablet but opt to also read manga, graphic novels, & comics on my kindle. With color being introduced I would love to see some for graphic novels & comics even with the coloring limit. However, what I didn’t know was that kobo does not offer that feature with panel reading. That is something I didn’t quite realize that other brands didn’t have coming from a kindle. That alone with sometimes dissuade me from purchasing & possibly waiting for some of the technology to further. In manga it isn’t a problem since those books are about the size of ereader screens, but things like full page comics that feature is heavily needed.

I love my kobo! I still use both my kindle and the kobo, but definitely reach for the kobo more.

Really enjoying the chill vibes of your videos. Enjoyed his one too, I have a Kobo Libra Colour and agree with eveything you've said, with one exception; I have had the device crash a few times when I have been using the Overdrive feature. But it's not the end of the world as I just reload it and then it works fine.
