Now this is a thorough review! You even talked about things I didn't even think about (changing font size when having already annotated)!

Alright. The fact that you can actually annotate on the book pages instead of leaving hand written notes in a separate pop up window may have sold me. I have so many books on kindle but…….this may have been enough to convince me to switch.

I was having the same problem with my palm changing the page. I just went to settings and turn off tap and swipe to go to the next page to swipe only. That fixed it 90% of the time!

I want to get one but don't want to leave Kindle.

I’m in love with mine. I’m keeping my paperwhite for KU, but I have enough books to where I’m gonna be using just the kobo for a while. The annotating is so much fun

You’ve covered a lot especially things directly on my mind when I saw this product. Thanks for that!

Hi, I just randomly showed up to see a review, but I just wanted to say the unboxing was really well done.

This is the exact review I needed! Thank you for talking about palm on the screen while writing.

This is extremely helpful! I wanted to by the colored e-reader since it came out. Thank you for the very detailed review!

This is so thorough and helpful, thank you! I would buy this based on the direct-borrow from library option ALONE, that is my dream.

Love this video! A very thorough review with great visuals, great editing, and just great vibe overall. just one critique: while you were talking the camera shifts a lott, i find that a bit distracting, but thats the only downside to this video. great job!

Great, thorough review, sheesh 👏🏾 Best one i've seen by far. You answered almost all my lingering questions, and talked about many other things nobody else even mentioned. Thanks so much. I'm off to get me one! Cheers 🥂

Loving your eReader reviews. Accessible and thorough! I've gone for the Boox Palma as I'm so invested in Kindle (probably have a 1,000 books) and it allows me to use Libby and BorrowBox too. I'd love it if Kindle made something similar.

I use Kindle and Kobo - they both have their pros and cons. Great review. I agree, the new Kobo Colour is a great device.

I have a kindle and for the first time I'm considering changing. Personally, I don't know that I would bother transfering my books. Most of them I wouldn't reread, and I can access them on my phone for refrence. I'm waiting to see if kindle announces a new device before making my decision.

Great review, very thorough. I’m also super keen for an easy way to mark up my ebooks with handwritten annotations. The only thing preventing me from picking up the Libra Colour is that there’s currently no way to export/sync handwritten annotations (Kobo refers to this as Markup), unlike highlights/notes which you can export and sync to services like Readwise. I use a Supernote with its ‘Digest’ function currently which lets you export handwritten notes to PDF. It would be nice if Kobo let you do the same. Right now, if something happens to your Kobo and you have to replace it, those scribbled notes on your books? All gone. This is especially problematic with library books which you only have access to temporarily. Also, quick tip I saw from Reddit: If you swipe down from the top of the screen, you can access a menu to quickly jump between your last few items. e.g. to switch between a book and a notebook.

Thanks for the review! The one thing holding me back upgrading my Libra 2 to the colour version, is that I want to be able to annotation scientific papers as well, which I import as A4-sized pdf's. But judging from your test with a planner, it looks like the pinch&zoom you need for that are still not really workable. So for that, I would probably need the Boox, for a bigger screen, if that one even is big enough. Annotating with colours is my way of working as well, great to see it works so well in regular books.

Why does the camera keep moving when you move omg im getting dizzy LOL

Very informative! The thing I find the most unfortunate is that when some of us annotate, we do so in order to go to that particular color/tab/etc. in order to revisit certain passages for reference, to re-experience, or whatever other reason. If a reader geared towards annotating doesn't have some kind of sorting function to find not just the highlights, but specifically search highlights by color, then it sort of just defeats the purpose for me. I appreciate your review, and I think I'm going to wait around for the Kindle to think about these sorting/finding kinds of features.

Great review. I’ve found Calibre can be a bit tricky in the past too, but it seems to be working for me at the moment so I’m stripping DRM off about 2000 books 😂

Very thorough review! Thank you so much! I tried testing it out in the stores but they never properly functioned. Thank you for your honest and clear review! Really made me make up my mind :)

I’ve been converted and gonna pick one out this afternoon. However I have so much stuff on my kindle that it’s going to take forever to transfer lol. But gotta do it for the buttons, white colour and coloured screen!!

For your issue with removing DRM from your Amazon kindle library, have you tried to input your kindle's serial number on the DRM remover plugin? I've reset my pc a couple of times and each time I attempted to setup the plugin on Calibre, it was the only step I always completely overlooked, so you might want to check on that.

i have kindle and kobo. and love kobo, having both is fun :)

Nowadays i keep watching videos about ereaders so i dont have time to read

I really wanted to find something that wasn’t Amazon/Kindle because in good conscience, I can’t support them. I’m so happy that it’s everything you could ask for in an e-reader!!

Rumors is 2005 Amazon is coming with two color e- reader. Definitely I can wait

Such a great review!!! This kobo is very temping and I was dying to hear your review before I even thought to consider it. ❤

This is my next dream to get this haha thanks for the review

FANTASTIC review !! Thank You !! xx

Thank you for such a thorough and honest review!

I will be using both kobo and kindle

You probably used a broken DeDRM plugin. I used the wrong one and had the same problem happened to me as well, as soon as I downloaded the plugin from another source it worked perfectly. I have the Kobo Clara Colour. I really enjoy your videos ☺️

wow this is such a complete review! it's interesting indeed for your e-reader to have colours and you can even write in it

I bought this just to get library synch (Amazon stiffs Canadian customers!), and can’t get over how well it works. My Paperwhite and Scribe are sitting idle.

I do have a question about annotations on library books. Will they be lost once you have to give the book back to your library or will you still have access to them but them but without the link to the specific section in the book?

Such a detailed review ! So helpful, Loved it !!!

Great video brought one a few days ago I love it 😊

Im just going to wait for kindles colour as they are making 1 coming between this year to next year

Hi, I was able to go to my content on Amazon’s website and download the files and upload directly to calibre and convert to epub. Unsure if this epub can now be uploaded to the kobo though

I wonder if they’ll be able to address the hand pressure problem when writing with the stylus. This looks so fun but I know my writing habits and it would jump all over the place 😅

I plan on getting this specifically for library and stuff your ereader day books. I won’t be getting rid of kindle unlimited because I use it too much to actually get rid of it.

Great video! Not sure if you said this and I missed it, but do you get to view annotations made on library books that have been returned?

Your review is very good, I just wondered if you know one thing, can you use multiple cards with he overdrive? I currently use 6 on my Kindle.

why is the camera moving around? hahaha thanks for this review tho! I have a 2012 kindle keyboard i got for free from my mom. I love annotating my physical books tho so this is really tempting hahahaha

omg im so excited i cant even wait until after the video finishes to comment

Did you keep clear case on when you put in the notebook? It fits that way?

If kobo would make a big one for students, i’ll be to first one to buy one!

🙋🏼‍♂️🇪🇦 Hola! Una revisión muy práctica y útil. Gracias por compartir. 🤗🤗👏👏👏👍👋👋

Cool features would love to have these options in libby or hoopla.

When I Highlight on my cobo It stays black and then thirty to thirty five minutes Or something It finally gives me the color Does that happen to you. I just bought a Kobo And I like it because you could write on the screen And the colors when i highlight But I also have a kindle now 4 Or five years and I have like a lot of collections of different arthurs On my kindle already So what am I going to do by the same books From the same author for my Kobo That I already have on my Kindle. I know. I can convert it with calibar But the problem is I don't know how to convert it It would be easier if Kobo accepted imobi Because I think google books is under imobi and Amazon I don't know what Kind of Format That their books are Under

How do you think about the organization on kindle vs kobo? I'm considering switching because of the annotation abilities, but if kobo had better book organization than Kindle that would push me over the fence.

For me kindle is just way to restrictive with the selection and I can’t even upload pdf files. I’m definitely switching to this Kobo colour

Iv always wanted to annotate my books, but i hate "ruining" my books, so i just tab, i would totally get this!!

I am so happy to hear that Kobo is blowing Kindle out of the water for annotating right now. Especially after Kindle had such a great response from their Wacom pen technology. I went with a boox note air 3c cause I wanted not only the color annotations and book covers and comics in color and such, but for how large it actually is. I originally had the first Kobo libra. I loved it. But ever since reading and annotating on the note air 3c I can't go back to a smaller size. And I actually went all digital for all my journals and sketchbooks now too. I wouldn't have wanted to update to this one after seeing other companies doing so much better with a droid. My boox lasts like three days on a charge with everyday use. If I'm reading all day it's two days and that's with drawing and journaling. I'm glad Amazon finally has some competition.

I just ordered mine today so excited

Just something that could be helpful - you can change the setting for how the screen responds. E.g. you can turn off the "tap" and swithc to only "swipe" or "buttons" for page turning. Could be useful when you're writing and pressing down with your hand.

do you like this better than the boox mini tab c?

BTW, I installed the Bookerly font, and it helped with readability.

great review! answered all my questions :) i want a kobo so much but also i don’t think i would be able to let go of my kindle oasis + kindle unlimited combo 😢 maybe get both? lol

I'm curious how this works with libby if you're in the US with multiple library cards that all use libby. Can you still send books from libby on your phone to the kobo? If not then are you locked in to the 1 library?

lol ... I didn't even consider the fact that you can annotate in different colors ... Now I'm really tempted. But no, my libra h20 is perfectly fine for now .. even though taking notes and annotations on it sucks.

You made no mention of the color. That’s shocking, as that’s the only new feature for an ereader device

If the book is borrowed and you annotate if you re borrow or buy it later do the annotations come back

I download my books on my Kindle, it's still EPUB format on Kobo or it changes?

I’ve no issues removing DRM from my kindle books on Calibre. I’ve done it many times💁

Where can we find the digital planner you showed in this video?

Hi, does kobo have an inbuilt dictionary? And if i take notes on the books that I borrow from library , will the notes be missing after I returned the book?

I have the Kobo libra in black and white and I like it a lot, although I am a paper fan and I tend to lean towards paperbaks instead of ebooks. The most annoying thing about ereaders so far is the notetaking part: I hate having my notes separate from the page. Maybe having them on the page and the possibility of switching colors will make me use my ereader more :D One thing I didn't notice is how easy it is to switch colors? How do you do that? Btw the last con you talked about is the only reason I will never purchase a kindle, or in general an "amazon only" product.

You didn’t review at all how you feel about the color and how it looks 😅 which is the reason the device is called the Libra color lol…how does it do with color reading such as graphic novels or do you see any differences good or bad with screen quality of black or color display?

Thank you for such a great review.

Would you say that you have the same issue while making annotations, in regards to the palm rejection?

Great review! Can you export your highlights and annotations to your email or an app like you can on a kindle?

Thanks for this review! Is it possible to easily export highlighted text and annotations to your PC or are they trapped on the device?

You needed to upload the code itself

Thanks for the informative video!

after uploading your kindle books with calibre, can you make annotations on them as the regular kobo books?

hi, do you know if the Kobo Libra Color is compatible with other electronic pencils by any chance?

Hi, Chantal! I've recently discovered your channel (specifically because of your Onyx Boox Mini Tab C review). Is there a way that you can do a side-by-side comparison of the said device and this e-reader? Thank you!

Hey! Would you know how to set up screensaver in this device so you don’t see the book cover on this front?

Does this substitute the kindle scribe? I am interested in writing a lot

Calibre is so easy 😭 I don't understand how people have so many issues with it.

Can you use multiple library cards with the built in Overdrive?

I'm a converted long time Kindle user too like you haha

I had the same issue with Calibre. I was able to google how to fix it. I think I had to download an older version of the dedrm plugin

I wish they would Sell Kobo in my Country. This white eReader is such a Beauty

what about audible? any possibilities there?

I want a coloured e reader but I currently have kindle. What is the best coloured e reader to go for?

Great video! I like how you can annotate on any book. For some reason Kindle Scribe can only do the same on PDFs but on epub/mobi only sticky notes :/

Just wanted to say i love ur videos

I have the Libra colour and the Kindle Paperwhite for KU.

5:23 Would it be a bad idea to add a white skin/decal over it? >.> The color doesn't match..

I want this too. I plan to buy them.

Loved the review! (Its only me or her camera is moving too? Like every hand movement the canara ajusts a bit??)

Does your highlighter in the notebook fade after you highlight?

I wish this had all of the big book apps available (libby, hoopla, cloud library, audible, etc.) Because i love the idea of this over the boox one i ordered. And its more affordable. Ugh. Why cant all ereaders just run android

I want to annotate as well. I hope if the rumors for the color kindle are true, that you are able to annotate in the kindle. How is the battery life?

Do you think that the next Kindle Scribe will have similar capabilities? I want this, but I am in WAY too deep with Kindle lol.

Fantastic, amazing this kobo😊

Wait but how do you download books on the kobo?
