What customers say
The Kobo Libra Colour earns praise primarily for its Kaleido 3 colour screen, which significantly enhances the experience of reading graphic novels and illustrated content. Readers appreciate finally seeing vibrant book covers. This device maintains the comfortable, ergonomic design of its predecessor, including physical page turn buttons ideal for long reading sessions. While the colour display is a major advancement for e-ink, users note the colours are more muted compared to tablets. The higher price point prompts discussions about value, especially for text only readers. Overall, the Libra Colour is celebrated as a significant step forward for dedicated e-readers, perfectly serving those seeking colour without tablet distractions.
