Kobo Libra Colour | eReader | 7” Glare-Free Colour E Ink Kaleido™ 3 Display | Dark Mode Option | Audiobooks | Waterproof | White

Pasé de un Kindle Oasis ( descontinuado). Y me he adaptado muy bien a este lector. Adaptas la luz, más fría o más cálida. Lo del subrayado a colores es lindo. También compré el lapiz aunque no lo vi tan necesario porque no hago anotaciones y creo que si cambias el zoom de la página como que se pierde o cambia de lugar lo que anotaste. Tip: compra la funda original tipo “origami” para que puedas pararlo en una mesa etc. Gran lector :)

Since I already have other types of e-reader, I didn't technically need another one. What prompted this purchase was: longer battery life of Kobo, lower price, small size, audio book capability, and the most important features of color e-ink and stylus that can be used to hand write notes. The text is not as sharp as my iPad, but it's adjustable for size and font, bright enough, and fine for me. The color, while not strictly necessary, is enjoyable and makes notes more fun. I even did some simple color sketching and mind maps with the Kobo notepad app. My ipad does most of the desired features better of course (plus has a zillion apps), but is too expensive and too large for me to just take it everywhere in my pocket, purse, or small backpack. (I am also getting tired of operating systems that nag me to be signed in all the time. ) Even better, I found that I really use the feature where I can connect the Kobo to my Macbook and side load PDF or text files, without having to use a proprietary system (yes, I know how to do this with ipads and kindle email). I expect to use this feature to personalize the material that I am able to quickly install on the Kobo, such as business data, teaching materials, etc. It won't replace my iPad, but sometimes what matters is the device that is actually with you, and ready to go. I wish the Kobo had more memory, or was able to install an external memory card, but I can live with that limitation. Buying books on the Kobo website is also easy, they have a pretty good sale section, a subscription service similar to Kindle unlimited, and some of their books are DRM-free.

Lo amo, ya llevo poco más de un año con él y a mí se me facilita más leer así que en libro, me gusta el ajuste de brillo y tonalidad para la noche. Es ligero, no pesa y me encanta. Se golpeó un poco y eso me pasa por no comprarle su funda desde un inicio, así que si lo compras, si o si cómprale una carcasa.

EDIT: Previously, I mistakenly stated that this has no security, but it does in the form of a PIN. I've updated my review to reflect that, and bumped it up to 5 stars This is my first eReader so I have no comparison of performance compared to others. I'll list the cons first in case there are any deal-breakers for people, then they can stop reading and look for something else. Cons: -No SD/microSD slot -No NAS drive option -No headphone jack -Will get you addicted to reading Neutrals: -Looks like something from old Star Trek Pros: -Clear, readable text -Decent Colour -Readable in blinding sunlight -Super lightweight -Great battery life -Supports Google Drive, Overdrive & Dropbox -Probably won't shatter when you drop it Despite a few drawbacks, I still greatly enjoy this eReader. I don't foresee myself needing more than 32GB of storage for books, as I'm not an audio book guy (yet), and even so, I can transfer anything from my laptop to the Libra anyway. But still, I do have a NAS drive and microSD cards lying around, so being able to use those would've been a nice feature for peace of mind and feeling like I didn't overspend on tech stuff (lol). Maybe one day we'll get an OTA update that let's us use NAS drives. Now for the cool stuff! I wasn't completely sold on an eReader since I already have a tablet, but I decided to buy one anyway to see what the fuss is about, and I ultimately still love this thing. It's incredibly light and doesn't tire my hands like a tablet or a book, and being able to fit so many books onto something so small still wows me. Dang it, I just love technology! Syncing this with Google Drive just makes things even better. I've never dropped this thing but it looks a lot more durable than a glass phone, or even a tablet, and I'm confident it can survive a few drops. If you're someone who frequently drops stuff, I'd still buy a case for the aesthetic, if anything- this looks like it was designed by the same people who designed Star Trek Voyager computers. But maybe that's the case for all eReaders, no pun intended. Thanks to my allergies, I dislike going outside, but I did bother to test it in direct, blinding, sunburnable light and the brightness still makes things more than readable. If you're someone who likes to pretend they're a White Lotus character and reads on the beach with sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat, this can be a part of your prop arsenal. Personally, I like to read in bed before I go to sleep and I haven't dropped it on my face yet. As far as colour is concerned, it doesn't look as nice as my tablet or phone, but maybe that's asking too much. Apparently, colour eReaders are a mindblowing new thing so it might wow you. I haven't fully converted and sub'd to their book shop, so I can't comment on the experience there; I still have my Kindle Unlimited sub still active and may also buy a Kindle to see how the experience compares. I do notice that the Kindle app on my tablet tries to sell me new books hardcore and is way more in my face than this shop's. Despite that, I might end up with two book subs since it's current_Year and everyone has 10 streaming subs anyway. Carrying around two eReaders is definitely not as physically demanding as carrying two thick books. If you have the expendable income, why not have the best of both worlds? In short, this Libra Colour is gas. I've reconnected to my nerdy childhood and I'm reading tonnes more thanks to it. For anyone who loves reading, this is an amazing experience with ridiculous battery life compared to a phone or tablet, and won't strain your eyes. 5 Ryan Reynolds'!

Hola, se que se han quejado de que se ven los cuadritos o que no es muy brillante o demas comparado con otras marcas, pero si no comparamos y realmente leemos, no notaremos estos problemas, lo que me sorprendio es que es realmente delgado y comodo, lo ame.
