I went through a bit of an odyssey. Had the Kobo Clara BW and Kindle Paperwhite (due to some authors I like to read only being available on each of the platforms)

I preferred my Clara BW for everything and in general but loved the bigger screen size of the Paperwhite.
Ended up trying the Libra Color but couldn’t get used to the graininess and returned it. Now I found this one and I’m already absolutely in love from the first second.

Also, no scratches and no signs of use expect for minimal things on the case, which doesn’t matter at all. Battery seems fine too. 😊

i was gifted the kobo bw the other day and bought this case for it. i am so excited!

Took a bit of effort to get all 300 books over but feels good to be free from Amazon! Loving the color so far

It’s a very snug fit (I put 2 layers of fleece instead of 1 like it was patterned for), but it does fit with my sleeper cover and stylus! As much as I like having the sleep cover, it’s nice having reassurance that it won’t pop open when I toss it in my bag now.

I just got this baby on Sunday and I can't stop using it - coming from a kindle PW and was contemplating a colorsoft but I am truly enjoying the buttons and customization. Screen is dimmer as everyone knows but it does not hinder my experience as I can adjust the lighting to where it's comfortable for me. Could not be happier!!!!

also have an xteink x4 for taking on the go with me.. in reading heaven!!

I got a Kobo Libra Color two weeks ago and I’m already loving it so much! Reading has such positive memories for me, around my childhood, so I wanted to capture some of that on my new e reader. (Don’t worry, it lives in a case, I just popped it out for a full photo).

I’m not a fan of white lines around stickers, so I always order transparent backgrounds when I can (still end up cutting some down to size), as I think it allows for better collaging of stickers. I love how the back encompasses the whimsy.

Started “Son of Nobody” two days ago, and I’m already almost 200 pages in (that’s fast for me), so I think having it on my klc has made me read faster. Which is a win for me. I wanted to be able to read more this year, and I think I’ll hit my goal! 🥳

Had been frozen like this for at least 2 days now. Completely unresponsive. I have tried charging it for hours, no difference. While plugged in, the light was slowly blinking, that's about the only response this has given me. Have tried holding power button to hard reset, tried that with page buttons, nothing.

Please help me fix this thing, thank you!

Hello! I don’t know how helpful this will be, but I’ve had my kobo Clara BW since it came out, and my Libra Colour arrived yesterday. I’ve been extremely hesitant to try out the Libra because of reviews mentioning all of the downsides to colour, but caved because I wanted to try out the larger screen, buttons etc. I was very worried about graininess and issues with contrast.

In all of these photos, both the Libra and Clara BW have the same brightness settings. 0% brightness, and then 8% for both in the darker photos.. I didn’t take a photo at night, but I always read at 1 - 2% brightness and to me, they both looked nearly identical. I don’t know if I just lucked out with my panel or if I happen to actually not be particularly sensitive to the difference in screen. I actually used to have a Kindle Paperwhite from around 2021, and I found this to be worse than the Libra Colour simply because of the flush screen making it look blurry and grey to me.

The camera can’t capture everything, but if anyone wants any more photos under different lighting conditions, let me know.

Did you guys see this??

My anxiety has been hard on me these past few days so this win was much needed 😁

Someone listed it for 60$ on marketplace and then messaged me that it got stuck on the home screen and she couldn't get it to reset. I told her I'd still take it for $30 if she still wants to sell.

She did and a few tries with tricks people listed on reddit, I got it working 😊 kobo libra 2 with case for $30 🥳
