![]() It’s good to see Kobo releasing a couple more new models in 2021 to go along with the Kobo Elipsa, but I wonder why they didn’t upgrade the 6-inch Clara HD as well since it’s now over 3 years old. The Kobo Libra 2 comes in black and white and sells for $179 USD. It’s also a bit heavier than the 1st gen model at 215 grams (+23 grams). Personalize your Kobo Libra 2 by choosing between black and white and eye-catching SleepCover colours. An ergonomic design keeps your reading life on handand page turn buttons keep the story going. It still uses a 1GHz CPU and it doesn’t support the Kobo Stylus or dual-band WiFi, and it does not support Dropbox like the two larger models.

The Kobo Libra 2 is a 7-inch model that comes with some minor upgrades over the 1st gen model (notably USB-C, Bluetooth, and 32GB of storage). ![]() The Kobo Sage sells for $259 USD (a Kobo Stylus is not included they sell for $39 separately). I do like how they repositioned the power button to the back, though the power button on the Forma was not good. The only downside is the Kobo Sage uses a glass-based Carta screen now instead of a flexible Mobius screen like they used on the Kobo Forma, so it’s less durable and the overall weight increased by about 45 grams to 241 grams. Another upgrade, this model gets support for dual-band WiFi. The Kobo Sage is an upgraded version of the Kobo Forma, with an 8-inch screen and a quad-core CPU, and they also added support for the Kobo Stylus so you can write on ebooks and PDFs and take notes in the built-in notebook app like the 10-inch Kobo Elipsa that was released in June. Both ereaders also have frontlights with adjustable color temperature, and both got official support for Kobo’s dark mode feature to invert colors for white text on a black background. Both add audiobook support and Bluetooth for streaming audio, and they have USB-C ports now, and both come with 32GB of storage space.īoth use 300ppi E Ink Carta 1200 screens that are advertised as having better contrast (except I already debunked that as mostly marketing hype with the Kobo Elipsa), and both devices are waterproof.

If you're looking for a more basic reader, or want to stick with Amazon's ecosystem, don't forget that the Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle are still on sale as well, for $105 and $55, respectively. Still, it's far and away one of the best eReaders out there and a very attractive option at this price. As for drawbacks? The lack of a plastic cover means that crumbs or particles can get trapped between the screen and bezel, and some users have noticed hiccups while trying to use the highlighting feature. It can charge up in a couple of hours and go for days at a time, is waterproof for use in the tub or pool, lets you save articles to Pocket and supports more file types than Kindle.įinally, the Libra 2 includes Bluetooth functionality, letting you connect a pair of headphones and listen to audiobooks. ![]() The "ComfortLight Pro" automatically adjusts the brightness and color temperature to match the room, and becomes less blue as the day goes on to help keep you calm before bedtime. ![]() The 7-inch E-Ink Carta 1200 touchscreen is sharp and easy on the eyes.
