The Kobo Libra Color is certainly not a dedicated note taking device but I love the note taking capability when reading and annotating. Switching between a notebook and the book you’re reading is easy. Being able to annotate in the epub copy in color is great. I mostly use my Microsoft surface pen with an HB tip which gives my a far better writing experience.
I hope you will review the Pocketbook color e-readers too :) I'd love to hear about them, and a comparison between them and these Kobo color e-readers, especially with the detailed approach you have with reviews ^-^
I've been waiting for your review of the new Kobos! Thank you so much for going into such details. Always appreciate your thoroughnes!
It’s nice to see that your experience mirrors mine. Although Kobo is using the same building blocks as Kindle and Boox, thoughtful design and engineering results in a better user experience. The Libra Colour is one of my favourite purchases of the last couple of years. Even the capacitive stylus, while inferior to Wacom, is adequate for the sort of short annotations that I tend to make on a device of this type.
Will you review the new Clara BW with the Carta 1300 screen? I am very curious to see a side-by-side screen comparison between the Clara 2e, new Clara BW, and Clara colour.
I’ve had seven(!) Libra Colours over the past month. All of them had multiple pinholes in the screen and some had poor backlight uniformity. Our local reseller offered me the Sage for the price of the Libra Colour and it has been great. I don’t think colour e-ink displays are fully developed for the general public. The need to basically always have your backlight on when inside and the poorer contrast are not quite there when it comes to reading normal books. For comics, the colours look great, but the Clara and Libra are too small for that in my opinion.
Excellent review. Kobo is hands down what I use for reading all my books. I use something else for writing. I reckon the stylus is fine for annotating books, but that’s all. If they went with Wacom they’d steal the show by having arguably the best e-reader coupled with a good writing experience.
Are you sure the Clara does not have manual rotation in the pan/zoom menu (four arrows, leftmost button)? My Glo HD has it there, so this would be a significant regression if they removed it.
Thanks for the review! I guess the only way to read Kobo Clara in the landscape mode is to use KOReader. Then PDFs will be a bit more useable.
Excellent video. I totally agree regarding the notebook. One problem I am noticing is when I read an American comic in landscape the upper panels are cut off, and unlike when you had the magazine article it won’t move up using the buttons or allow me to scroll. If there is something I am missing please let me know. And personally I don’t find the screen too dark. I recently finally tested a Boox Go 7 Color and found that screen way darker. Anyway thank you for the great review!
Hello friend. Are any of the new similarly sized non-Kobo readers a good alternative to the Sage (due to battery issues on the latter)?
Great video, especially for the comparison between Sage and the new kleido device. This only confirms my view that the 300 b/w ppi on Kleido screen is not really like 300 ppi on Carta screen, in fact I feel like it feels (looks) worse than 227 ppi Carta screen.
It’s a shame they sent you the origami case for the Libra Colour. The pen storage in the notebook case, is the most elegant solution I’ve seen to date.
Thank you a lot for your work. This is an excellent review. I've noticed that the caption at ruclips.net/video/ZbRZjt3f1FI/видео.html shows front-light set to 100% when it should be 50% and then similar situation later where it should be 0%.
Ah, I must have permutated them, but unfortunately there's no way to fix it now, as RUclips doesn't allow replacing videos for us mortals
Another great video - thanks! I appreciated the comment about getting a black device. I had a white Libra 2 but now have a black Colour and it seems like the screen is brighter on the Colour due to the contrast. I tried both Clara and Libra and kept the Libra (gotta have my page turn buttons!) But am still holding out hope for an updated color Sage!
Can you use the boox stylus on the kobo libra 2?
No, because it doesn't have a Wacom layer. So only active pens of a specific standard will work, for example, Microsoft Surface pen is something users report working well with it.
@MyDeepGuide thank you. I got the Note Air 3C recently and love it for note taking and productivity but I can't figure out how to send kobo/libby/kindle books to neo reader so I can write notes. Would love an in depth tutorial on boox ereader functionality.
@@deetee19You can find several video’s on how to use Calibre to remove DRM and convert ebooks to the chosen format if you want to do that or buy ebooks without DRM or with ‘social DRM’.You can sent that kind of ebooks to you note air without hassle and open them in Neo Reader.
