I’ve only had my kobo libra colour a couple of weeks; I think I’ve only charged it 2, maybe 3 times. I have my brightness to 30%. Is this normal battery usage? I’m just curious.
666 hours read, nice milestone. Did this in 1 1/2 to 2 years.
I dont remember doing anything crazy to it or putting it anywhere im not supposed to put it, and it looks like this
I tried restarting it, nothing changed
Im guessing its ruined
Did anyone else have the same problem?
Hello I would like to get a kobo ereader and the most important thing to me is the comfort of my eyes (they tend to get strained)
Additional features that would be nice to have are buttons and stylus compatibility
The Libra seems like the best fit for me size wise and everything but it’s only available in color
I’ve heard the black and white models have better brightness, sharpness, and flicker so I don’t want the color unless there’s a way to turn off the color layer/filter?
There is a Libra 2 model I see in BW but its no longer available and I dont know where I could buy it from, it also can’t be used with stylus
Does anyone know if kobo has any intention of releasing a Libra in color or will I have to find a different ereader?
Grabbed a $14 metapen m2 on Amazon. Just started playing around with the notebook, handwriting features. It's actually decently implemented. I'm making a to-do list and it converts my handwritten scribbles into text. In case anyone hasn't tried it yet, kobo Libra color, didn't want to spend $80 for a pen, this $14 works great.
One button is an eraser, the other is a highlighter.
I bought Berserk 1-42 a while ago. Now 43 is announced and is available on Amazon for preorder. It doesn't come out until October, but still. If I can secure it sooner rather than later and forget about it, I'd like to.
I posted about my then new Kobo Clara BW around this time last year while I was on holiday, so I thought it was worth a little update.
A year later it's travelled all over Europe with me and it's probably been the best bit of tech I've bought in a long time.
The biggest surprise has been how much more I've read over the last 12 months. Instead of scrolling on my phone, I find myself picking it up whenever I've got 10 or 15 minutes. I've got through more books in the last year than I had in years before.
I did crack the screen when it was in my pocket, but replacing it was reasonably easy and I've also 3D printed a protective cover, which has been brilliant and gives me a lot more confidence when I'm traveling with it. Here's the link if you want to print it: https://makerworld.com/models/1744253?appSharePlatform=copy
It's light, the battery seems to last forever, and it can fit into my pocket. If I lost it tomorrow, I'd buy another Clara BW in a second.
Hi, new kindle user here. I’m starting to look at changing to a Kobo Clara Colour as there’s a lot of things I like more than the Kindle Basic such as cheaper book prices, waterproofing etc. My only concern is I’ve seen a few people complain about how their Kobo creaks, pops, makes sounds with a bit of tension or hand movement.
I have sensitivity to those kind of sounds, stupidly, and it has put me off various handheld devices, but the Kindle has been really sturdy and not made a single sound so it’s been a great experience on that front.
TLDR: does anyone’s kobos make any sounds due to the plastic casing at all? thanks for answering my silly question!
Hello, I am struggling a bit with the inbuilt dictionary and search engine of my kobo Clara BW. It will often show different words than I marked, or redirect me to pages referencing not the word I looked up (Wikipedia).
For reference I’m currently reading Book of the New Sun and there’s a bunch of terminology that’s not available.
I was also disappointed not to find an inbuilt Polish-English dictionary and had to download a different one off the web, though it’s not very good either…
I’m hoping people can share some resources, or a tried dictionary I could download in the inbuilt one’s stead? Other than that I’m pretty happy with my kobo.
Thank you.
I like reading without the case because it’s so much lighter. My options were 1, keep the screen unprotected in a sleeve, or 2, struggle to remove the sleep cover every time I whipped it out then vice versa when I put it away. I had a transparent case with a detachable sleep cover and the case part was too heavy because of the magnet. Also the case got warped on the sides from me stretching it out all the time.
I looked for sleeves with a hard panel but they don’t really seem to exist :(. The post image is my current setup. Anything better I’m missing? I did see the cool snap-on screen protector 3d print shared here a bit ago and that’d be perfect if I had access to a 3d printer (checked all the libraries around 😫)
Sorry for the dumb question. Getting this set up was hard, I had t reset ever6 password abd managed to get locked out too lol
I pulled these from the Kobo blog. some of these stickers are so cute and I'd love to be able to get some for my own if possible. does anyone know if they're available for purchase? or are they just to make the blog pictures cute? they have the Kobo logo on them too
I currently have a kobo libra colour. Have had it for half a year now, no complaints (other than wanting the app to sync with sideloaded books but I'll live lol)
I love being able to annotate and highlight and have all the colors. One thing I noticed I wasnt wowed with: the turn page buttons.
I read everywhere where people raved about it and how they couldn't live without the buttons. But for me, it wasnt a huge deal. Tbh I like a more compact ereader! My first ereader was a kindle basic, loved that thing to death lol. The colors and pen are a huge factor of why I made a switch, otherwise the basic was doing just fine for me
Personally, I'd love to see a kobo model like a Clara color but also have the annotating with a pen capabilities. I'd probably switch over to that in a heartbeat lol.
I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts, whether they agree or disagree. Hell, if what I'm looking for already exists lmk! Lol
I bought my Kobo Libra last week and have been loving it so far! I bought a bunch of books yesterday and went to sync them to my Kobo today, but the sync kept failing. I restarted my device , signed out and then signed back in to my account and everything is now gone. I’ve purchased about 20+ books and now they’re nowhere to be found on my ereader, but they show up on my iPhone app. I tried syncing again, but it keeps failing. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this?
I would like to be able to read my substack newsletters on my kobo. Is there a way to get them to automatically send to my Clara??
I am planning to buy a Kobo Clara BW, but I recently saw some posts saying that their screens are scratched/broken after just keeping them in their bag. I have previously owned a kindle, and I used it for more than a year without any cover and there was never even a scratch in it. I am not a very careful person either - I have literally slept on top of it. Using a sleepcover seems to be the popular suggestion to protect the screens, but the price seems too high for just a cover.
Does anyone use their Kobo without any case? What has been your experience?
If possible, suggest some cheap cases that is available in India.
I got a few tablet arms for my desk and bed and I’m using this 8bit do zero 2 controller to click though the pages! I’m finally happy with how everything is for reading!
I’m making a concerted effort to transition from Kindle to Kobo. However, it appears that every time I attempt to make the switch, I encounter a new obstacle. One such obstacle is the fact that Frieda McFadden’s books are not available in English on Kobo. This particular issue might just be the final straw that pushes me to abandon my Kobo journey and go back to my kindle
I only bought it recently and started using it three days ago. Today my sibling dropped it from the bed and while it has a sleepcover and works well, I think there are these tiny spots of light on the bottom that I noticed between the screen and plastic and they're bothering me. They're not visible when I'm reading but once I look at it horizontally it bugs me a lot.
Is that a problem or common for Kobos?
I’m about to take the plunge and purchase a kobo. Reading through this sub I’m a little nervous that I need to be tech savvy in order to get this set up. There seems to be lots of different options with this koboreader -and other things I’m seeing.
I’m not a total dense, but definitely not super IT inclined.
