Review Date: May 2024 – Review unit purchased from Walmart Overview The Kobo Libra Colour was released on April 30th, 2024. It’s the first ereader from Kobo to feature a color E Ink screen, along with the Kobo Clara Colour. Both are similar functionally, but the Clara has a 6-inch screen and the Libra has […]

Kobo Clara BW Carta 1300 Screen Comparison Video
Last week I posted about how the new Carta 1300 screen on the new Kobo Clara BW isn’t a worthwhile upgrade, at least not from a contrast standpoint, so I put together a video showing how it compares to other E Ink Carta screens. On the product page for the Clara BW, Kobo says it […]
Kobo Libra Colour vs Libra 2 Comparison Video
Now that Kobo has jumped on the color E Ink bandwagon with the release of the Kobo Libra Colour, people are asking how the new color models compare to the regular models with black and white E Ink screens, so I put together a comparison video showing just that. I also talk about some of […]

Well, once again, I hate to break the news to you, but there’s no contrast improvement […]
More Details Emerge About Repairing Kobo eReaders
Last month after Kobo announced their new ereaders for 2024, they revealed that they would sell repair kits for the new models, giving customers the option to repair them when they break. Details were sparse at first, but now Kobo has updated their reparability page to explain how everything works, and there’s also now a […]
Looks Like the Kobo Libra 2 is Being Discontinued
Now that Kobo has released the Kobo Libra Colour, it looks like they’re phasing out the Kobo Libra 2, which would be a big disappointment. The Libra 2 is now listed as “Sold Out” on Kobo’s website, and that includes their US, UK, and Canadian stores so it’s not just a localized stock shortage. The […]
New Kobos Now Available to Order from Amazon and Walmart
Earlier in the week, I posted about bundle packages and cases for Kobo’s new ereaders turning up online at Walmart and Amazon, but most of the listings where removed soon after because apparently they were listed too soon, as the new Kobos don’t officially get released until April 30th. Now the listings are back and […]
