If you lrarn to tinker with it like installing patches and nickelmenu, you are going to love it even more.

Thank you very much :)

@@MyDeepGuide Could you elaborate on import and export capabilities of devices, i.e., if I highlight texts or markup with a pen can I export those notes to my desktop computer?

Not sure about where you are, but in Canada, Kindle does not support library books or sharing books with other Kindle users (which I believe they can in the US). So even though the Paperwhite might be cheaper up front, it is can be more expensive in the long run, depending on how you use it.

Thank you :)

so from your comment kindle much better than kobo

@@ahmedmohmed1341 Oh no. I like my Libra 2. The screen alone is worth the upgrade from a PW4. I can't go back. There are just things that annoy me about it which makes it less than "perfect".

@@FireFr0ggy what about PW5? Is it better than Libra 2? Can't decide between the two

Koreader is the best UI ever !

My friend wants a dedicated e reader and I'm recommending she get the Kobo Libra - although the 'coming soon' Boox Leaf looks good.

There something to be said about a dedicated reader being focused on doing just that and nothing else :) I kinda like that with the Libra and similar dedicated e-book readers.

@@MyDeepGuide - and the price is so good - why spend £3-400 for functionality you don't need?

Thank you :)

you just need to change the file name. A quick google search will show you.

- The weight and chunkiness is something I immediately noticed, mainly because my hands have grown so used to the H2O. However, it's not something that brings fatigue or anything like that, but I was aware of the fact that it's a bit heaver than the H2O or the Pocketbook or the Poke 2 that I also used a lot. Nothing that bothered me, I was simply aware of it, if that makes sense. - it's very grippy. That mesh relief is a very smart way of doing it, plus, the plastic on the Libra 2 is in itself less slippery than the one on the H2O. I also don't use the case, as I use it indoors, and I never had it slip or attempt to slip during the testing period. - I prefer the white color, always, because it causes less strain in the eyes and there is less contrast (natural one) attacking the eyes. Perception that the contrast is stronger is true, but this is merely an optical illusion and a manifestation of the strain that I talking about, because with a black frame you have a main silhouette (the device) and then the content being filled inside of that silhouette (which is a secondary process for our interpretation of the picture the eyes send to the brain). Additionally, on a pure physical basis you have a dark frame, bright background of the screen and then black content inside of it again. Because of that combo, the eyes strain much more and we see blacker blacks and whiter whites (stronger contrast). On a white device you have none of those things and the "contrast" setting of our eyes and the brain are much more relaxed, meaning, less strain on the eyes and, more importantly, ability to discern finer details in the dark content of the screen, as it is the main and the only silhouette we are focusing on. - music is not my own, it is from a licencing site called Epidemic Sound :)

@@MyDeepGuide Incredible, thanks for the very throughout reply, especially regarding that black vs. white question! I think I'm leaning towards getting a white device for a change, but I'm curious about one last thing: at least on the video, your device seems to be in a good shape. Is the white device typically more prone to showing dirt, scratches, yellowing etc. over time, in your experience?

This will depend on the individual. Personal hygiene, maintaining of the device, storing of the device, all of those will have a profound impact on a device over a long term use. Some people treat their devices as garbage, and then they end up looking like garbage. Some people don't and their devices can look as brand new even after years of use.

Yes, Lucy Blue has to be brushed every day as well, as mats can form very easily, and they can become painful, if not regularly treated. But I honestly don't know who enjoys more when we brush her, she or we ❤️😁

On the unit I had both felt equal.

Yes, this is normal and it is called ghosting. This is how E-Ink screens work and why you have a full screen refresh command that will redraw the whole screen, to eliminate ghosting.

They are next in line. I've finished testing and data gathering for both devices, so I am ready to start recording and editing. I will try to have the Note Air 2 done for Saturday, but it's not a guarantee, since it's a lot of work and very time consuming. Max Lumi 2 will be for next week.

@@MyDeepGuide I am sure it is very time consuming. Your hard work is very much appreciated.

I prefer the white one, and I do explain why in the video :)

No, it's something with my account, it never works. Other users report that it works good, and for few it works sporadically.

It works great on my Kobo Sage. It worked awesome on my Libra 2 too

It works flawlessly on my Kobo Elipsa too. From what I had read on Mobile E-reader forums, I wouldn't say that is a general issue.

I haven't used PW5, so I don't have a reference point for comparison. Can't help here, unfortunately.

Libra 2 can match or even faster than PW5 if you install koreader.

@@jazminlei what’s Koreader?

@@krugmeup2162 it's an alternative ereader application that you can install on kobo.

It depends what you want to read. If you're interested in reading EPUBs, then yeah, it's more convenient and has a better image clarity. If you want to use it for reading PDFs, then no, because it doesn't have the extensive formatting options that Nova Air has.

@@MyDeepGuide thanks!

Is what you see compared here in the video the similar difference that you characterize as "miles better", because it's something that sounds like a fairly subjective characterization. This is why I included both devices at the same time showing the same content, so that people can have a more objective view of what the differences actually look like in reality.

@@MyDeepGuide i do not know about your h2o but in my case my h2o has noticeable grayish contrast of the text which is not improved much even by increasing the font weight. Also my h2o has an uneven screen tint that does not show in photos and videos but noticeable in actual use. When i first turned on the libra 2, the difference is screaming and the best screen i had so far compared to my pw4, likebook p78, libra h20. The lilebook has the whitest page of them all but the libra 2 has the best contrast. Even the darkmode is crisper black than the other devices

Yes, because you will not be able to read Kindle books on a Kobo device, as they are direct competitors. It would be like trying to play a PlayStation game on an XBox :)

@@MyDeepGuide Oh i can convert them. I figured out a way around that so i think a Kobo is in my near future

White one, less contrast and more comfortable for reading.

No, because this is a Kobo device that uses the Kobo library of books, same as you can't import Kobo books on a Kindle. You can, however, do a process of de-DRM-ing of books and convert them to epub or pdf formats, but legality of that process is shady at best, so it's not something I can tell you how to do, nor encourage you to do.

If you check the conclusion you will hear the answer.

Yeah that battery life problem is fatal.

@@yuzurin0623 Yes, that's why I bought the Libra 2, its size is actually perfect for carrying it anywhere without being cumbersome. I actually have been charging it every 2 and a half months or so, it's great.

@@Tonceitoys Tho I've go to store to compare those two, I would say Sage is still carryable.But 6 inches Libra2 is on another level, imagine you can simply go out with a shoulder bag , that's amazing.(Although I decided to buy Boox nova air, I still considering about buy a Libra2 lol)

It's waiting it's turn. These devices arrived first, so I do them first.

@@MyDeepGuide Ok, thank you for answering.

This isn't a comparison video, plus, what to compare? Page flipping and opening of books? They both perform as you would expect them. If there are differences, they are very minor, but generally speaking, maybe the Libra 2 is a bit snappier in general operations, but nothing that I noticed as being a huge difference.

@@MyDeepGuide thanks! Since you compared so much with the H2O, I thought you might just include the performance as well. I have a Clara HD. I'm trying to decide which one to upgrade to, and the page flipping speed is a minor annoyance I have with the current one.

I haven't used Clara HD, so I don't know. As for the performance difference between the 2 Libra's, very minor, practically the same.

It was mentioned in the specifications, but not shown simply because it's a completely basic inverted function, nothing really special about it. I mean, it works as one would expect it to.

@@MyDeepGuide thank you for explaining. :) Also thank you for all the deep guides!

@@MyDeepGuide Is it really just a completely basic inverted function? I thought there were new waveforms for it and it also doesn't invert everything the way their old Invert screen config did with images and the UI elements.

From what I tested, in eBooks it looks like a normal inversion of the content. Maybe they are doing something fancy, but at the end of the day, it looks and feels like a regular inversion. Maybe the stuff you mentioned is how images are treated, to get good contrast vies in inverted mode, but I would consider that basic functionality because you need to do some tweaking of how to invert which type of content to maintain it's look, and not just explode it. So yeah, it's a nicely functional inversion mode, but in the end, it's just a dark mode, useful and nice, but at this point, kinda expected from a dedicated reader device to have.

@@MyDeepGuide It would have been great to compare the Dark Mode on each devices side by side, testing with brightness 0% 10% 20%, I think the Libra 2 has deeper darks than Libra H2o

No, as it's not officially writing capable, even though there is an interesting trick that can get it to reproduce strokes, but as normal use, no, this is just a reader.

Well, depends how dirty you intend to keep it :)

@@MyDeepGuide hmm, I've never had to clean my Oasis. It was just a passing concern.

Joking aside, I don't know. Libra H2O has the same set and I never had any gunk in it, but I did use it for the majority of time in the cover, so that would negate that side.

I don't know who that is, or what that reference means.
