Thank you for the review. I'm a long time Kobo user and currently have the Forma. I've debating picking up the Libra Colour and I think your review sold me on it. I agree, as a Canadian the Kobo makes book purchasing and borrowing easy. As for my TBR list - it's the year of fantasy for me. Catching up on all things Sarah J. Maas at the moment.

Love your personality and your video! New subscriber! I also have this device, I am like you, I like to have the latest eReader device! I haven't touched my Kindle either. The pen is great too. Works so well together. I finally finished "Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" it was such a great book. Truly enjoyed it. Sad it's finished now though. I miss Evelyn, she's such a badass. 😂 What have you been reading and how are you enjoying it? Keep up the great work on your videos! Truly enjoy your vibe and content! ❤

@marypivin Ай бұрын

Hi 🥰! Thank you so much for your kind words and for subscribing! Means a lot to me😊 I have "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" on my TBR list; it looks so good! I'm currently reading "Yours Truly," and it is soooo good too! Highly recommend this series. Have a great day! ❤️

Something else to consider: Kobo devices support .epub ebooks natively, Kindles do not. Calibre makes this less of an issue but with Kobo you can literally drag and drop your DRM free ebooks without the need of conversions. I love the Kindle as a device but them pushing their store so hard in the homescreen and not supporting open standards is unacceptable to me. I'm looking for a Kobo now, just not sure which to get (Libra Colour, Clara BW or Clara Colour...) The Drive integration seems extremely convenient too, I wish they also put that on the Clara devices, really shitty that they don't.

@AlexSedevie Ай бұрын

Hi Mary, great video! I have watched so many reviews, but your comparison to the Kindle experience is perfect for what I was looking for. I have a super specific question I haven't been able to find an answer to... what happens if you annotate a library book that is returned to the library/removed from your device? Do you get to keep the annotations on the device, or do they get wiped with the book? P.S. Your dog in the background... SO cute. I had to pause, because I don't want to miss the device, but I wanted to appreciate your sweet pup, too. 😂

@marypivin Ай бұрын

Hi ☺️ Thank you for your comment, it really made my day, and thank you so much for the lovely words about my dog! 🐶😊 I'm so glad you found the comparison helpful. Regarding your question about annotating library books: from what I've researched, you don't get to keep the annotations once the loan is returned. Unfortunately, the notes are tied to the specific copy of the book and get wiped when the book is removed from your device. Have a great day!!

@ablair7007 Ай бұрын

Très bonne critique! La Kobo Libra Color est la eReader la plus populaire en ce moment ...ou peut-être la Kobo Clara Color, aussi très bonne eReader. C'est géniale! Et je pense que vous êtes aussi fr-canadienne, non? (c'est très difficile à dire, mais le tout petit accent ;-)

Kobo also has Kobo Plus which is similar to KU. About the same price, not as many books as KU but they are adding content all the time..

@aleksandragarcon3476 Ай бұрын

Hi, thanks for this video! Do you think that while reading your ebooks in BW the screen is a little bit yellow compared to Kindle ot Kobo libra 2? 😊

@marypivin Ай бұрын

It is slightly more yellow, but I can only really see it when comparing side by side!

@nathalie8135 Ай бұрын

It's yellow to make it easier on the eyes. Like when people write on yellow lined paper. It's warm lighting which Kindle also has.

@RoVicD Ай бұрын

Thanks for the review. How is it switching from Kindle to Kobo? Did you have many kindle books? Did you transfer them?

Yes! There are a lot of great videos on TikTok that shows how to do this 😁

Hey! Im assuming that when you annotate on a borrowed library book, the annotations dont stay after the book has been returned. Is that correct? BTW this was an amazing review, you hit every box!

Do you adjust the brightness a little higher than a normal kindle? a lot of comments online talks about how dim the screen is than a normal e-reader.

To be honest, I do have to adjust the brightness settings a bit more than with the PaperWhite, but it's nothing major like the online reviews I've read while preparing this video!

Great review. I am also Canadian, from Vancouver. I had to return a Kindle Paperwhite as I realized that it was not compatible with the Libby app, already on my phone. Is the Overdrive seamless with the Libby app on the Kobo? Are there a lot of steps to connect with your own public library page? Merci pour votre review!

Are the letters not as black or crisp on the libra colour vs the kindle paperwhite? Some reviewers mention that for pure text, the letters on the black & white ereader are crisper.

@marypivin 22 күн бұрын

Hi! Yes, there is indeed a difference in the crispiness coming from the Paperwhite Signature Edition. However, I don’t see the difference anymore; it is very subtle. I never reach for my Kindle anymore. You would have to hold them side by side to notice it, I feel like.

@hannkg7715 Ай бұрын

Hi can I ask - if you touch the screen does it turn the page or do the buttons turn the pages only? If thats the case, this would be a game changer. I really dislike how my Kindle is always turning the page just becasue I accidentally touch the page

how about synchronisation of kobo device with kobo apps on other devices? especially when you don’t buy the book from kobo.

@marypivin Ай бұрын

From what I have experience, you need to buy the books from the Kobo store in order for it to sync with Kobo apps on other devices. I have not figure out if there is a way to do this with books from elsewhere yet!
