KOBO LIBRA COLOUR FULL REVIEW 🌈 & Why I Choose KOBO for E-Reading + E-Reading for Accessibility 📚 👓
Hi everyone! Thanks for tuning into this video. It took me about a month to make, so I appreciate you watching! ❤️
The Kobo Libra Colour and it's sister device, the Kobo Clara Colour, are new colour ereaders that are out in the world.
In this LONG video (haha!) I take a deep dive into the Kobo Libra Colour... though I don't talk about the technical aspects and specs so much. So if that's what you need, then this might not be the right place for you!
I also chat about why I have always used Kobo for my e-reading devices, what I'm reading on the Kobo Libra, and how the annotating features work. I also dive in to my favourite features, and where this device falls short. I also discuss why the...

hi! my husband and I bought a home. The backyard is full of dirt spots, an empty flower bed and weeds. It is starting to come together with perennials I planted before winter arrived, but I'm hoping to keep giving the yard some TLC, planting more bushes and plant variety, and creating more flowerbeds. follow me on instagram @cozybuttelf or Podkin herself! @podkincorgi

hi! Here is a little video for you guys - a warm, spring greeting from us to you! I went to visit my mom on a weekend when spring made its debut on the cusp of March. It's snowing again now, at the end of March, (classic Alberta) but I can't wait to receive spring again and watch it blossom into summer. We have a good God - His abundant mercy and grace extends to all of His creation. Bless you!...

READING VLOG (Part 2) | Reading the Graveyard Book with SUSHI ( Harry Potter Puzzles!)
Loved your video omg ❤️ 😍 loved your case. Will order it..
Love the in depth video it was very informative even though i already have a kobo libra colour. Sadly, you can't read magazines from Libby on a Kobo Libra Color because Kobo devices don't support magazines from Libby. I also was shocked to find out you can't listen to audiobooks from libby either.
Great little video, btw you have the most amazing eyes, but anyway been waiting for my Kobo for delivery for the last two weeks, does it normally take that long ?
@@stuartgifford8672 thank you! And that does seem like a long time. I believe mine shipped within a couple days. I’d keep an eye on it.. if it doesn’t ship soon, maybe try another seller! Indigo carries them and so does Best Buy (at least in Canada) I know a lot of people who purchase kobo don’t like Amazon, but Amazon carries the kobo Libra as well.
Audiobooks you can't borrow from libby and listen to on device
Audiobooks are unavailable on the Canadian Kindles because they have crippled the Bluetooth on Canadian Kindles. I love the page advance buttons. When I set up the top button to turn the page forward, it falls perfectly into my hand. Kobo offer a case with a front cover to protect the screen when closed. This case has the word “notebook” in the description. Your channel gets five extra bonus points because your dog is a part of the channel. I love the squeak toy noises, and you will NEVER have to apologize for them. Thanks for a very complete and informative video.
@@camrodger8638 thank you for watching! 🥰💜 and for your kind comment!
Love this, a review from someone that use it for it's intended purpose and use it a lot from what i can tell. Appreciate it! I will keep my eyes peeled in the upcoming black Friday.
Thinking about switching from Kindle to Kobo because I love the Libra Color... and VERY disappointed with the Kindle options that just came out. I have the Kindle Oasis, I borrow library books but once the book goes back, so do the notes! So I export my highlights/notes in an email to myself before I return the book. I have not seen if there is any way to do this with Kobo- have you found anything to share notes?
@@dianabarrick5356 I did test this! In my experience so far, any notes or annotating I do on a library book is still there after I return it. So if I borrow it again, the notes will still be on the book as I left them. Hopefully this answers your question.
That stylus looks so much easier to write with than the Kobo stylus! (Maybe it's just me, but I struggle sooo much with it)
I find the stylus easier to use to annotate or draw if I’m laying the kobo down flat.. but so far I’m impressed with the Microsoft stylus!
@@Elfbookswhat is the microsoft tablet
i mean stylus?
@@UmmMahirah Microsoft Surface Pen Windows Stylus
I’m from the US and I think I would prefer this over the kindle ColorSoft. Plus the white color is pretty
Thanks for making this. I'm currently trying to decide which kobo to get and it's nice to have someone deep dive into the product and not be biased
I hope you are happy with whatever device you choose! All the Kobo devices I’ve tried have been great. Thanks for watching. 😊
* Just a lovely presentation! Appreciated your consideration of possibly getting a Kindle to fill in some gaps. A basic used and very functional Kindle can be had for about $50 or less. I find that many of the books I’m looking for aren’t in the Kobo ecosystem. Just curious, why don’t you read Yhe New Yorker? Thank you for such a fun and informative video - you could be a Star! 🥸
Thank you for watching! I appreciate the kind comment. And yes, considering you can get a basic Kindle for cheap, it isn’t a bad idea to have it so you can have access to a bigger catalogue. And I have nothing against the New Yorker, I downloaded it to test magazines on my phone Libby app and just never read any issues.
Did you get magazine on kobo ?
I am able to get magazines on the kobo through the kobo e-store.. but not library magazines through the Libby app!
I bought a Kindle Oasis in 2020 and I really love it, especially with the buttons to change page. But when I see what Kobo is offering, Kobo is so far ahead - colour, flexibility of where you can get books from, writing inside the book and having notebooks, water resistance, the list goes on. Now having seen the latest kindle releases, I'm also not confident in having something at this level from Kindle anytime soon. Your video really convinced me to make the switch 😊
@@E.McBeth that’s awesome! I really do hope you love this Kobo device. 🙂
Loving my Libra Colour too. Thanks for the great review!
What about the screen being darker than the monocromatic? , great review
I believe you forgot to post the Etsy link you talked about 😊
I absolutely did forget! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It should be linked in the video description now. :) I just posted it in there!
Heyy! I’ve been meaning to buy this ereader and I also read a lot from the library, so I was wondering for borrowed overdrive books if the highlights/annotations get saved anywhere? Because sometimes I borrow books, don’t read them in time, they get returned and if I borrow them again, it would be lovely to have my annotations/highlights from my 1st hold in there. Hopefully I explained it well 😅 Thank you so much for your in depth review!
Thanks for watching! Actually, yes! It's super awesome because the annotations and highlights get saved where you left them on the library book. SO if you annotate in an Overdrive library ebook, and then return it and borrow it again, all your annotations will still be there, right where you left them :) The Kobo is so friendly for library e-reading which I love because I also borrow heavily from the library!
@@Elfbooks Omgg thank you so much! This is life changing for me. Thank you again for the video!
As someone recovering from a concussion its so nice they have eye friendly fonts.
Ugh, I'm so sorry. Concussions are so tough and aren't usually easy to recover from. I am sending hugs and hope you find e-reading to be comfy in your recovery <3
Your video deserves more views! Thanks for this really useful video. I just ordered my kobo libra color and you really helped ❤️
@@macymiller3417 aw I’m so glad to hear it! Thank you so much for watching. I hope you love your new kobo 🥰
Can you link to the Etsy template? I can’t find this one!
So sorry I totally meant to do that when I first posted the video! I just updated the description of this video to include the reading tracker template on Etsy. Thanks for watching!
@@Elfbooks And thank you for the great review!
I'm buying a kobo because accessibility for low vision and blind community is better on kobo and kindle is nonexistent for UI scaling. But im debating on a white or black kobo libra colour
@@fatema8819 that makes total sense! I didn’t realize that about Kindle. I mean honestly, you don’t need colour for much on an ereader unless you read a lot of comics. It’s fun to have but certainly not a necessity.
@@Elfbooks agree. But I read a lot fantasy so my stuff has color that I don’t even notice or didn’t know about.
I heard as well. Been thinking about getting a kobo.
Oh I love the reading tracker! How do you add the book covers to the template?
@@alibrarybythesea it’s really neat! I just downloaded the tracker template on Etsy and then plugged my kobo into my computer. You basically just drag and drop the template onto your kobo file on your computer! Super easy. The artists also supply import instructions when you purchase.
@@Elfbooks Thank you! I think I will give this a try
Hope kindle would also create something like this
I loved The Last Kingdom books! Excellent choice! 😊
@@MHellman they are so incredible! Absolutely impossible to put down.
Love the detailed review ❤. I am hoping to order a Kobo Libra Colour and you have definitely helped 😊. This will be my first e-reader. I read on my iPad mini but I get very bad migraines and that is why I have been looking into getting a Kobo. I don’t like the closed system of the kindle so this is great! Thank you
@@omowaleayowale-olaitan7296 that’s fantastic! I’m so happy to help. I hope the Kobo Libra Colour works well for you and relieves the reading migraines for you!! Happy reading. 🙂
Thanks... I ordered one... Transferred all my Amazon books to ePub.. very easy...
I genuinely thought this would have more views, omg. I loved this video so much! I’ve been looking for E readers recently and this helped clear so much up. Thank you for making this!
@@ItsCooltoPlayBass thank you so much for watching and leaving a kind comment! I hope you choose an e-reader that you are happy with. 😁 they’re awesome! Happy reading. 📚
Looks so pretty!! - Mari

Thank you very much! And thank you for watching all the way from Ireland. :)
My little brother rosted me for making ramen the "wrong way" a few days ago. Gonna show him some new moves 🔥
I’m in this video
Yeeeeee
thanks🌲 so cozy and beautiful 🌙🍃
Thank you so much! And thank you for watching 💖
The Traveling Cat Chronicles ordered from my library! When I hear about all the death at Mount Everest, I just feel sad. A challenge like that is not worth risking your life for.
I’m so glad! Let me know how you like The Travelling Cat! And I agree. It seems like it’s a 50/50 chance of survival I can’t imagine desiring to embark on that type of journey. 😅
Heard great things about Elektra! Might have to pick it up now
You should definitely give it a go!
Recently lost my dad last month, glad you have some videos out to help me navigate ❤️ sending love.
I’m really sorry to hear about your Dad, Destiny. I know how scary and sometimes empty the world can feel without your dad because you’ve always known the version of the world with him in it. I would be happy to chat with you if you ever want to talk more about it. I think you have messaged me on FB before, so please do if you need to talk about it. My heart is going out to you ♥️
I've also been taking a Break from RUclips, I'll return to uploading Tomorrow, I'm pretty Nervous
Congratulations! It is nerve wracking but so worth it to get back to creating. Wishing you best of luck!
@@Elfbooks yeah, I've only been taking a Break due to Traumatic Stuff (I Had Another Traumatic Event Today ) and it affects My Mental Health, and I also took a Break for many reasons due to Getting attacked for my Opinions/Theories/Jokes for one of my Favorite Shows, Learning The Flash Season 9 is the Final One and I Won't be Reviewing it :(,
This looks like it was a breath-taking trip! 😍 So glad you both had a nice time together 🥰 Not gonna lie though, I screamed internally when you said you didn’t have your phone with you 😂 I understand disconnecting from stress, but I always bring it just in case I need it 😂
I don’t know what I was thinking not bringing it looking back 😂😂😂 especially because the area got so deeply wooded! Definitely would’ve been wise just in case. Thanks for watching friend!❤️
@@Elfbooks Haha! Of course 🥰
Lovely nature!~
this is so beautilful J! 😍 hope you had the best time! xxxxxxxxxxx
Thank you Helly ❤️🥰
I read one Hardy Boys book but don't really remember it. I quite liked the first two seasons of Big Hero 6! I hear the comics were quite different though. I'm not sure if that comic was based on the show or if it was written preshow.
This gave me aallll of the hygge vibes ❤️ Lovely work friend!
Beautiful video!
Thanks Pix!🤍

*exercises and then immediately lays down with ice-cream afterwards* 😂😂😂 Zoo-wee-mama, you had me cracking up this vlog, Jacki 😂 (Zoo-wee-mama is my new saying, for context 😂) I've always felt so weird playing Just Dance by myself, but now I know I'm not alone! It's so fun! And does make you smile 😄 I really wanna try reading Victoria now because you give the best recommendations! I just bought a collection of Winnie-the-Pooh and I kid you not, I was JUST at the bookstore thinking about buying Tilly and the Bookwanderers! It actually kinda freaked me out while watching this vlog when I saw you bring it up 😂 But, I love seeing more behind-the-scenes you! It shows what a fun personality you have and your smile makes me smile 😄 Can't wait to watch part 2! 😊❤️️
ILY THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING MY VIDEOS 🤍🤍 so funny we have such similar tastes in reading material! Let me know if you ever decide to read Tilly. You’re so wonderful 🥰
@@Elfbooks Awww stahp, you're too sweet! 🥰️ You're most welcome! I love watching your videos! And I will definitely let you know 😄
Thank you for your bravery in posting this. We are going through this also, and it's very hard. I am sorry for your loss. What you said it so helpful in helping others understand how to be more supportive and caring and not to be silent. There is too much silence and sweeping this under the rug. Very grateful for you words and thinking of your also.
