    Hi everyone, When I show Double Highlight, I am using a protected Advanced Reader Copy ascm file that has been converted to an authorized ePub by Adobe Digital editions. I hope that helps. - MJ

    I love my Kobo Libra Colour. I prefer it to my Kindle. I did not know about the colour change. It looks fun.

    I’m in Australia, and here, our library ebooks are only compatible with Kobo, which is why I am contemplating purchasing one. Otherwise I’d be happy to keep using my Kindle for ebooks. Obviously I use audio and read physical books too but library books for me can only be read on my phone or tablet, so I’m thinking about a Kobo eReader. Thanks for offering your honest opinion!

    Thank you, you convinced me to purchase the kobo and I love it. I also purchased the pen loop you suggested and love it. I find myself reaching for it more than my paperwhite due to the color. It is so worth it.

    I love my kobo libra colour! In Canada you can get your library books on kobo but not kindle, which is a huge plus for me. I’ve loved the kobo since I switched in May, and I’ve read more graphic novels with the colour. Currently reading Tress of the Emerald Sea!

    Thanks for the review! I've got an older Kobo Nia (I've had one Kobo or another for about fifteen years now), and was thinking of getting the pretty colour one when this one reaches its natural end. It's great to know the battery life is still really good.
    In a bit of a reading slump, but I'm hopefully starting _ACOTAR_ in the next few days in audio, and _The Seven Skins of Esther Wilding_ on the kobo (Yay! Library!)

    I have been tempted by the Boox over the Kobo for color eink because that device can run the Kindle app as well as most other ereader applications. But I don’t annotate which seems like the Kobo strength.

    Watching your videos, I have been thinking about the Kobo Libra Colour 2 for WEEKS! I have been using Kindles for YEARS, I want to wait for Kindle to come out with their colour version (rumored to come out next year… but it feels like FOREVER). I guess I have only one question that will give me the final push to consider the Kobo, how do you revisit all the annotations? Including the ones on the library books and are they still available after the books are returned?
