Media Reviews

PCMag3.5/5

Kobo Libra Colour Review

A good premium color e-reader with a bright color E Ink display, physical page-turn buttons, waterproofing, library integration, and stylus support; however, loading personal books is cumbersome and the stylus functionality is less practical than it should be.

Trusted Reviews

Kobo Libra Colour Review: A really good Kindle rival with a colour screen

A very good, feature-rich color e-reader and strong Kindle alternative: its color display broadens the content it can show, the design feels durable, and the software avoids excessive advertising and recommendations. Its main drawback is a price premium over the Kindle Paperwhite.

TechRadar5/5

Kobo Libra Colour review: twice improved for better reading and writing

An Editor’s Choice e-reader that continues Kobo’s strong Libra run, combining an excellent color screen and writing features with good value, a streamlined interface, responsive performance, and long battery life. Writing feels awkward and the Kobo Stylus 2 must be purchased separately.

WIRED

Kobo Libra Colour Review: A Color E Ink Screen

A fun, capable color E Ink reader whose display makes graphic novels, children’s books, and covers more vivid; it also offers page-turn buttons, waterproofing, repairability, and color annotation. WIRED notes the high price, the additional cost of the Stylus 2, occasional notebook ghosting, and a smaller library than Kindle.
