Excellent, design was more comfortable than my Kindle Colorsoft. The reading experience has been fantastic and the Libra is a great device.

This is the first ereader I've owned and it is amazing! The color display is really cool and great for displaying illustrations and book covers, I love how when it's off it displays the cover of the book your reading in color. The battery life is fantastic, it lasts over a week especially if you turn the light all the way down and read with a reading lamp; The library support is seamless and right on the kobo. And I have fun annotating and highlighting with the stylus, and the page turn buttons are great. Honestly, reading on the kobo libra color is better than reading in a physical book. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in an ereader.

I absolutely love this e-reader! As an avid physical book reader I was nervous about the transition. I did a ton of research on features I wanted, features I might not know id want/read, ease of use, and the like. This seriously checks every box! It’s the perfect size, has a TON of features, is beautiful to read, and easy to use and navigate.

Defective unit and was told not to request a replacement because dead pixels were just cosmetic. The replacement might be the same or worse.

I love it and use it so much more than I ever did my Kindle. It's so easy to checkout library books, buy books, get books from other sources and load them directly from Google drive to my kobo, it's magical. Reading graphic novels on it's color screen has also been wonderful.

Love the device but the battery life is so bad. I have to charge it every other day. Unfortunately the battery life is the reason I don’t reach for it more.

Such a great device to read on and not being affiliated with Amazon is a huge win! Being able to digitally check out books from my library for free is incredible!

Had a kindle, wanted to get out of Amazon's ecosystem. Switched to nook -- the device was pretty good but sideloading and a slow laggy interface ruined my experience, along with poor customer support. Decided to give a Kobo Libra color a shot and absolutely love it. Its quick, the colors look pretty good. reading is comfortable, sideloading books is super easy with google drive and drop box too. It also has a way to allow access to local libraries which I have yet to try. I wish I switched sooner. I got the stylus, haven't had much of a chance to really use it yet except for some quick note taking, which works well enough.

Only a week or so into having my Kobo but I am LOVING IT! So much faster and runs smoother than my Kindle. Also love that the power button is on the back so I never accidently hit it when I'm reading. As someone who loves annotating but doesn't always move to have a book plus all my annotations supplies on me...its so nice to be able to mark up my digital reads!

Disappointed in the fact it reboots while reading, can hear the device running and battery does not last long. I like the interface and how easy it is to get books. I don’t foresee this product lasting for the money spent.
