I decided to put together a comparison video showing the two new color Kobo ereaders side-by-side to give an idea of how the screen sizes compare, and to show the different features between them. The Kobo Libra Colour has a 7-inch display (measured diagonally from corner to corner) and the Clara Colour has a 6-inch […]

Kobo Libra Colour Review and Video Walkthrough
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 […]

E Ink Carta 1300 is Not a Worthwhile Upgrade
Ever since some obscure ereader from China showed up with a new Carta 1300 screen, people have been clamouring for ereaders to come out with the new “upgraded” screen technology that’s supposed to be faster and have better contrast. 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 […]
