The Libra 2 matches almost all the features of Amazon’s high-end Kindle Oasis for less money, minus the Amazon ecosystem. It’s waterproof, includes physical controls and Bluetooth, and has a 7-inch screen, as well as screen light color-temperature adjustment for late-night reading.

 The Tholino Vision 6, which is the sibling from the Tholino Alliance in Germany, mostly uses the same materials except on the back side, where the Tholino model is using rubberized higher quality plastic and feels much nicer to the touch. The back cover of the Libra 2 is also the reason why the build quality doesn't feel as good as it could. Because the plastic cover tends to make a cracking noise here and there, it's not too frequent, but I definitely notice it in everyday use. Other than that, the Libra 2 feels sturdy and lies well in the hand

 On mobile read, quite a few people have been complaining about UI freezes and crashes. The problems seem to come from Kobo using different hardware components, which is not unusual for any consumer electronics device. However, in case of the Libre 2, it seems to sometimes cause problems. Kobo seems to have revised the hardware design at least once since the launch and newer devices should be less prone to those mentioned problems

 The Kobo Libra 2 launched in 2021 and got a lot of attention back then. But how well does it hold up almost a year after its release? Let's check it out together in this long-term review and see if the Kobo Libra 2 is still a good choice. The Kobo Libra 2 is positioned in roughly the same segment as the Kindle Oasis. It has a 7-inch e-ink screen and an asymmetrical design with page turn buttons

 Which it is. The main reason for that is the hard plastic cover on the back.

Kobo Libra 2 REVIEW: My new favorite - here's why

  And that it is. In conclusion, i like the Kobo a lot and i would still recommend the Libra 2 to anyone because it is a great devise for the price. and a great compliment to anyone willing to compliment their Amazon kindle library with others.

Very nice e-reader!

 It doesn't have that quad core CPU like the Kobo Sage. So it comes with fewer or less features, but when it comes to the reading experience, it is quite good. So check out theebookreader.com for the full review

 They got a good tactile response. The back has a little bit of texture, so it's not slick at all. It doesn't feel like it's gonna slip out of your hand at all like some e-readers do. And like I said, you got the USB-C port here on the side

 So I think this is a really nice device for the price. My one complaint is it's just a little bit on the heavy and bulky side. It's kind of thick on that right edge, but it's not a big deal really. I do, like I said, really like the screen

 So yeah, I think the front light looks great, and the screen in general looks great. Here it is, quick comparison with the larger Kobo Sage that was released at the same time. It's more expensive, but I still think the Libra, in fact, has a slightly better screen here, given it full brightness with the front light on here. It just seems to have a little bit more pop to the text

Kobo Libra 2 Full Review, Plus Screen Comparisons

* Battery life: Libra 2's battery life is nowhere near that of the Paperwhite; in one night of reading, I might lose \~10% of Libra 2's battery, but barely a couple percentage points on the Paperwhite. It's not a huge deal, but I don't want to go back to the Oasis days of constant charging. Charges fast, though, which is a plus, I guess.

  Conclusion: if you're planning to hold a huge library in the device - you'd better give it up.

Most annoying feature: collections

 For this unit that I have here, the battery life will drain 11 to 12% for each hour of audio book playback, so we are looking at a total of 9 hours of audio book playback time. If you are not listening to audio books, Bluetooth will turn off by itself after a few minutes, which is great because otherwise it's going to drain the battery life of this in less than half a day. When it comes to reading e-books, battery life can last for weeks. At the time of making this video, Kobo audio books are not available through the Kobo store on the e-reader, and they are also not available through the Kobo app on the phone or tablet, so you have to find those Kobo audio books on their website

 So this is the Kobo Libra 2 with a 7-inch e-ink Kata 1002 touchscreen display, which is supposed to have faster refresh rate and flipping through pages seems fast enough for me. The resolution is 1264 by 1680, 300 ppi, text is sharp, and the contrast of the e-ink is good. The exterior is made of plastic, the build quality is good, there is no flex at all. We have two side buttons here near to the edge, which is easy to reach and they have good feedback when you press them

 The exterior is made of plastic, the build quality is good, there is no flex at all. We have two side buttons here near to the edge, which is easy to reach and they have good feedback when you press them. The edge where the buttons are also curved slightly, so that's easier for you to hold. The shape of this e-reader is almost squarish

75 times. The battery life will drain much faster when you are listening to audio books. For this unit that I have here, the battery life will drain 11 to 12% for each hour of audio book playback, so we are looking at a total of 9 hours of audio book playback time. If you are not listening to audio books, Bluetooth will turn off by itself after a few minutes, which is great because otherwise it's going to drain the battery life of this in less than half a day

Review: Kobo Libra 2

 I like the shape and heft of it — it's more substantial than the smaller Kindles, which is better for me. There's more than enough lighting, font, and other options to keep me reading. There's even a Dyslexic-style font, which helps many people who simply find it difficult to move from the printed page to ebooks.  Checking out library books isn't that much easier on the Kobo, because the default search takes you to purchase options, so it takes several clicks to check out the book

Not That Different From Kindles

My Deep Guide

 Like they say - Jack of many trades, master of none. Also do not buy stylus from Kobo - it has annoying wiggling tip, better find used MS Surface stylus.  I’m returning Sage to Kobo - short battery life is a dealbreaker for me. I expect eink ereader device to last much longer

 They should’ve used this extra weight in reader for larger battery.  Notetaking capability is a nice addition, but not at a price of crippling ereader functionality. Like they say - Jack of many trades, master of none. Also do not buy stylus from Kobo - it has annoying wiggling tip, better find used MS Surface stylus

The screen is very good. 8” size and very bright and clear. Rather comfortable to hold in one arm. I love warm light with a dark mode

 Magnets in reader can hold small items. What a waste of weight. They should’ve used this extra weight in reader for larger battery.  Notetaking capability is a nice addition, but not at a price of crippling ereader functionality

I had high hopes for Forma successor

 That's something that didn't make any sense to me and I'm very happy to report that after a factory reset, 2 firmware updates and 3 battery life cycles, Kobo Sage as a reader now performs as I would expect it to. Which means that depending on the front light, how far you go, I never go past 30-50% but you can expect the battery life expectancy and reading between somewhere between 16 and 25 hours of battery life. Of course it depends on the front light, but if you're keeping it on the lower side of things like 8% or something, I got the numbers that you could actually potentially get 24-25 hours of battery life per charge, which is excellent. That is right smack in the middle of what I was expecting this device actually to do and a little bit better because to be frank, to actually get that much battery life out of just a 1200mAh battery, that's quite something

 I hope that this clarifies the whole battery issue and my attitude and my conclusion around the Kobo Sage because it's something that I kind of lingered on and I really don't like stuff like unfinished things. I like to kind of wrap things up and move forward. So now I'm able to do that. Thank you so much for watching

 As I stated many, many times, the main problem that I had with the Kobo Sage was the questionable battery life that I got in the initial testing results. Now, I fully understand that it has a 1200 mAh battery, which is a thin battery, a smaller battery even than the Libre 2, but that allows the device to be extra thin, sexy and really, really lovely to handle ergonomically. So those things I totally get, but the results that I got didn't really make too much sense to me, especially the reader performance, because I know that the writing performance, it is a stress test that I'm doing, but it is a consistent stress test. So I wanted to revisit that and I also had a conversation with Kobo actually, and then we compared the test results, they did the testing methodology, we did this, the Sage received two updates since then, then I redid the tests again and again and again to actually get proper findings and I allowed the device, the battery to have a couple of cycles so that I can get a more consistent and more realistic picture of what is the deal with the battery life on the Kobo Sage

5, 2.6 hours actually averaging whenever I repeat the same test. However, Kobo themselves redid the same test and they get themselves 2.7 hours of battery life expectancy when doing that type of extreme testing circumstances of consistent writing

Kobo Sage: Battery Life Clarification And Conclusion

I chose to return the kobo because their software would not work with my local library's software. I kept getting login errors on the kobo, and setting up was onerous, and significantly easier on the boox e-reader I ended up getting.  The return label provided by the seller BlueProton in NY was for a P.O

Incompatible with library

 The text of the book is fine, the problem that he has, the menu does not increase in font size and is fine lined so he can't read it. Once in a book he can read the text but can't see the small menu font to navigate from one book to another. Even when he is at "My Books", they are so small he can't tell which book is which.  Once in a while he will accidently touch the center of the screen and pull up the main menu, he can't read it to see how to get out of it

 He can't hold his hands out in front of him for 5 minutes so he couldn't hold any reader or even a piece of paper to read it for any length of time.  The reason for 3 stars instead of 5: I bought this as a large print e reader. The text of the book is fine, the problem that he has, the menu does not increase in font size and is fine lined so he can't read it. Once in a book he can read the text but can't see the small menu font to navigate from one book to another

 Anything less than the 8" screen would not be desirable for him. Now to find him the 10" screen. Hopefully with a large enough border that he can hold it without paging forward/back, with a menu that he can read and follow.

. already had books "disappear" because of Amazon's policies. 2) Screen is gorgeous - 8" is definitely the best. 3) USB-C charging (when I got this, all Kindles were micro USB, but now they're going to USB-C), so this is less of a "win" for Kobo

 2) Screen is gorgeous - 8" is definitely the best. 3) USB-C charging (when I got this, all Kindles were micro USB, but now they're going to USB-C), so this is less of a "win" for Kobo. 4) Vastly better font support.  Kindle is marginally better only in highlighting notes in the text of a book; Kobo will take notes and let you look them up, but when you link to them you cannot easily go back to the same place in your highlight list

Definitely better than Kindle, if only it wasn't so fragile

 I will say, as I'm making this video, the Forma is on sale. So unless they plan to decrease the price of the Forma, it does not make sense to buy it. Unless you get a good deal on it, it might be worth it then. But for most people, if you're buying it full price, the Kobo Sage is a better option

Kobo Sage Review - This is the BEST Kobo!

 Hey everyone, Teo here. Today I'm going to review the Kobo Sage 8-inch e-ink e-reader from Rakuten Kobo with a comparison to the Kobo Libra 2 which I have already reviewed. Now if you have watched my review for this e-reader, this video is going to have some overlapping content because the reading features are quite similar. Let me give you a quick intro to some of the recent e-reader models from Kobo

3-inch Kobo Elipsa Pack. The main selling point for Kobo Clara HD is affordability. So this is priced at US $119 and this comes with 8 gigs of storage capacity. So this is good for reading just e-books
