The Libra 2 hits a sweet spot in Kobos development path of incremental hardware upgrades from the already outstanding Aura HD. It has a perfect size and form factor, is lighter, and has a glorious screen. Except for some unneeded gimmicks on the home screen, the software works just right. Sideloading is straightforward and uncompromised. With how much I love reading, I would gladly pay for the best product on the market at any price point. This is the one.

I comes from kindle. And the kobo libra 2 just blow my mind. Its so much crispier. After looking at kindle screen for years now up to the latest gen, the kobo libra 2 display is the best one. Text are so crispier and less eyes strain.

The Kobo Libra 2 lets you do exactly what it says it can do, read books and listen to audio books. For me this means I have gotten back into reading books daily and feel a positive mental change. Towards the end of a long day at work, instead of wanting to drink, watch online streams, and pass out, I was eagerly awaiting to get home to relax and just finish reading my book. Before going to sleep everyday, I read for at least 30 minutes before my brain decides its time to put the device down and sleep. As opposed to before purchasing the Kobo, I watched YouTube videos about people doing things I will never do and then woke up with my phone on the screen that asks me if I am still watching. By no means is this device a tablet like the iPad or android equivalent, so it cant do anything fancy. In my case that is a good thing, less features, less distractions, which means more reading. If you try to compare the speed between a tablet and the Kobo, its a joke. Sometimes it feels like the speed of technology spoils us and occasionally the processing speed of the Kobo bothers me, but if you are older than 25, you know the old dell computers that ran on Win XP or the first generation of smartphones would take forever to load anything. Battery life lasts a long time for me, only charging bi-weekly, I never notice it drop to the bottom. There are a few brightness options including natural light, that is easy on the eyes, especially at night, which is when I use it most of the time; so I am not exactly sure how long the battery will last if you are a day reader on a higher brightness percentage. In-terms of the feel of the device, it is very intuitive. It is about the same size as an adult sized novel and you have the options of swiping, tapping, or pressing a button to change pages. The Kobo always remembers where you left off on every book youve read, so you cant lose your place. The weight of the device is quite light, I doubt anyone would have an issue holding it; people with medical issues could probably still use the device well because of its light form factor. I downloaded nearly all my books online with epub or pdf formats and then imported them using my computer and the Kobo processes all of them them very well and allows you to customize the font and line spacing to suit your preferences. The main reason I chose the Kobo Libra 2 was because Amazons Kindle line comes with two options for every model. One with ads and one without and I simply did not want to play that game, it just rubbed me the wrong way. Imagine buying a device to read, purchasing books, and then still getting ads on your device. I would lose it. Despite that, I have heard good things about Amazons audible integration, but that wasnt what I was looking for. The things I havent used (but might try later) are the kobo store, how audio books work with its Bluetooth connectivity, and the overdrive system, so I cannot give an accurate review on those aspects of the device. 10/10 would recommend to anyone that wants to get back into reading.

As much as I loathe Amazon, I couldn’t handle this over the Kindle Oasis. The body felt super cheap; page turn buttons were flimsy. The screen constantly had ghosting from the previous page. The only plus to this device was USB-C charging.

Me agrado que dura mucho la batería y las letras laspuedo poner de cualquier tamaño. Este cobo libra es una de las mejores inversiones que he podido realizar para desarrollarme y tener mas crecimiento como persona y vivir una vida mas agradable para ser feliz por medio de los buenos libros que puedo leer.

Great device for reading epub & pdf format. If you prize freedom from the Kindle constraints, this is the answer. Very comfortable using it for long periods of time. Technical quibble: should be able to sort books by filename.

Liked it because it is very light and easily set up how you like it to work, like how you like reading it. I recommend this product

Love it so far. A little slow on the PDF reading but overall a wonderful product!

This is the first eReader that Ive had in many years. I love the kobo libra 2 eReader! I love how easy it is to use and I feel that it has good battery life. I love the buttons on it which is why I picked this over a kindle paperwhite. The kindle oasis has buttons but was a little too pricey for me. So far, I havent run into any problems using the kobo libra 2.
