If you like dragons, you might like Robin Hobb. The Rain Wild Chronicles is about dragons. The first one is "Dragon Keeper". I read The Liveship Traders series by her and thought the writing and story were *fantastic*

Happy birthday Average Reader! 🥳 I hope you enjoyed your time with your family. I am very sorry about your experience with Crohn’s and the terrifying surgery experience you had. I’m really glad you’ve recovered and seem to be doing well. Glad you took on booktube, you’re doing great! I like Greek Mythology fiction too. The last one I read that I enjoyed was Elektra by Jennifer Saint. The Song of Achilles was the best one I have ever read but I believe Madeline Miller is an exceptionally gifted writer… I love everything she writes. Fourth Wing - I love dragons too! I typically lean towards more action, historical fantasy, and war dragons and stuff like that over the romance types BUT I really enjoyed Fourth Wing! I read it in a day or two. And I cried, lol. I had some qualms with the protagonist, and felt she kept taking me out of the story. But I adored the dragons in the book and the magic/school system. It was a fun read. Happy reading!

Happy Birthday to a fellow Leo! 🎉

Your birthday is August 7? My birthday is August 8! Happy birthday to us! 🎉

Happy Birthday! 😃

Hope you have a very happy birthday! 🎉 Myth of Normal is great. (I work in mental health as a school psychologist and that was our department group read this year). I’m putting that X-men book on my TBR. (Marvel fangirl!)

Happy Birthday 🎉

Happy Birthday! 🥳🎂

Happy Birthday!🎈

I do hope that someday we can hand write in the add note to highlight feature. Overall, I’m so happy with mine 😁

I am in the market for a new e-reader to replace my lost Paperwhite. Casual and never got ingrained in the Kindle store so I am flexible to try other options. Paperwhite felt a tad to small for me and the Oasis I can't get past that it has not been updated for so long and does not even have C-Type charging yet. Kobo seems to have come a long ways with the book and audio store (even though I will likely try to use library more and more) so it is pretty attractive to me over other options. I don't plan on needing color persay, but I would LOVE the idea that the book covers look so nice to flip through. Most manga is black and white anyway past the first few pages sometimes. I don't plan to read a ton of Manga, but I do plan to do so a little, and the Paperwhite was really not great because the text is so small. That is why I am torn between two devices right now. The Libra Colour and the Sage. Although I don't "need" the color, I find the option desirable and it seems to be an easy to handle device. While the Sage with the larger screen will handle the times I do read manga so much nicer I am betting, but at the expense of worse battery life and a bit bulkier to handle. I don't really care about the scribe stuff. I think if there was an updated Forma, it would be a no brainer for me, but for now, I am so torn between these two devices.

Thank you for having such a well rounded review of the device. I currently have a kindle & read from all genres & medias of books. I don’t own a tablet but opt to also read manga, graphic novels, & comics on my kindle. With color being introduced I would love to see some for graphic novels & comics even with the coloring limit. However, what I didn’t know was that kobo does not offer that feature with panel reading. That is something I didn’t quite realize that other brands didn’t have coming from a kindle. That alone with sometimes dissuade me from purchasing & possibly waiting for some of the technology to further. In manga it isn’t a problem since those books are about the size of ereader screens, but things like full page comics that feature is heavily needed.

I love my kobo! I still use both my kindle and the kobo, but definitely reach for the kobo more.

Really enjoying the chill vibes of your videos. Enjoyed his one too, I have a Kobo Libra Colour and agree with eveything you've said, with one exception; I have had the device crash a few times when I have been using the Overdrive feature. But it's not the end of the world as I just reload it and then it works fine.

Thanks for your review. I just got my Kobo device about a week ago, still learning, but so far really like it! I got this for traveling and be able to load many books, which I’ve had no problem with doing so.

If you have used a Kindle Scribe and that stylus, you likely won't enjoy the Kobo stylus experience. The writing is nowhere near as good on the Kobo. Just a FYI. I don't "hate it" - just thought I'd mention this.

Thanks for your review! My libra should show up in the next few days. Now I am really worried when I heard that it does not handle pdf well. I read a lot of pdf articles and textbooks on my scribe! Thought it would be nice to see them in color. What about ghosting? I returned a few boox devices because of terrible ghosting!

I’ve been enjoying my Libra color. I’d say my only annoya-HAATE has been that the lock screen pin moves slightly with the first digit. But it’s still a good reader, and I love the user experience of it.

Great video. I’ve been using my kobo Libra daily since I got it. The refresh rate complaint made me laugh because.. I’ve been using mine and I use the buttons to change pages and I can’t see how it could possibly be any faster. It surprised me because I read a lot of comments complaining about that.. but I think it’s a non issue. I was also annoyed that the stylus was sold separately and was very expensive. I ended up getting a different one on Amazon for $40 CAD, the surface pen for Microsoft. It works well and hasn’t scratched my screen. But I was hesitant to get a third party stylus at first, too.

I just finished “Red Dragon” yesterday, and wow. Good book, but now i definitely feel like I need to mix it up with some lighter fare. Just started “The hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy.” 😊

I actually ended up dnfing Before the Coffee Gets Cold (partly as I didn’t enjoy the characters, partly due to the translation actually - it felt quite literal to me). I think you may enjoy Convenience Store Woman, by Sayaka Murata, which touches on interesting themes of Japanese society and fitting into it (the main character is obviously autistic, although I don’t think it’s stated explicitly); of Murakami I’ve actually only read the Strange Library, which was a fun, quick read.

Hiya! I love the incense curling over the screen! I’m a mood reader myself (which sounds better than indecisive! 😂) so I’ve always got a few different books on the go. At the moment I’m reading Agatha Christie’s Taken at the Flood, for comfort crime; I’m trying to read more sci-fi/fantasy this year, so I’ve started Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell - this will likely take me a looong time to get through (if you haven’t read Piranesi, you really must!). I’ve also got Legends and Lattes on the Kindle, which I’m really enjoying; and for non- fiction, Ian Mortimer’s Time Traveller’s Guide to Regency Britain. Phew!

I won't miss my Kindle either.

So many books and so little time! Best wishes.

Just stumbled upon your channel and enjoying your vids - congrats on finishing your course and happy birthday!

finally normal review of this device.

What a coincidence! I was planning to read the first chapter of Assassin's Apprentice to see if it should be my next read but saw this video pop up on my feed. I think after your video I will take the hint and read. 😅😂

Loved your review! My libra colour comes in the mail tomorrow. I’m excited.

Do you know you can put screensaver to your kobo if you create a screensaver folder in the .kobo folder on the device.

i completely agree with you on the battery life. like why are these youtubers worrying so much about the battery on ereaders when our normal high-tech devices have to be charged every day?? one week of battery is more than enough

Love the vlogs so far! I dig your choices. Hope you go far and wide viewership...Murakami reco: Kafka on the shore.

Should have gone with the Boox colour, can add kindle app and android apps as its android 12

I came from the kobo videos (and am going to be purchasing one now thanks to you! 😂) and love this concept of almost window shopping for books. I also love that you're looking at and mentjoning lesser known books. I find with booktubers it often feels like I'm just watching the same person over and over because everyone talks about the same group of books that are popular at any given moment. I would like to recommend The Phlebotomist by Chris Panatier. Go into it completely blind though, don't even glance at goodreads or anything, trust me. 😅

Currently reading Grady Hendrix’s “How to Sell a Haunted House.”

Regarding the color Kobo, do you only see color on the book covers? What about books that have colored pictures - I am thinking of naturalist's field guides, travel books, and books published by DK. Do those appear in color?

Can you change the weight of fonts? i.e. boldness

Amazon are cracking down on books and changing the format to one that cannot be read or formatted to read on other devices.

Already ordered paperwhite on the prime day 🥲

Also, if you buy an ebook through Kobo and you see it sold for less at another site, you can request a price match. It has worked for me in the past:)

Not usually into vlogs, and never write comments....Just had to say is a lovely idea, feels like we're book shopping with you. Great job, keep it going! 😊

Marvellous review, you have got me thinking….

I hope you meanwhile found the option to view your notes and highlights; you can swipe up on the screen whilst reading, then press the document icon in the bottom right to view them. Hope this helps somebody :)

How do you get books from local uk librairies?
