It offers many of the same core features, including a sharp seven-inch color display that makes book covers, comics, and highlights pop with only slightly less vibrancy than the color Kindle. It\u2019s also waterproof so you can rest easy at the beach, and features adjustable warm lighting for more comfortable nighttime reading.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The Kobo also has a few advantages over Amazon\u2019s e-reader. It supports EPUB and a broader range of file formats, making it easier to read books from a variety of sources, while offering twice as much storage (32GB). Unlike the Colorsoft, the Libra Colour includes physical page-turning buttons, which I find make for a more intuitive reading experience. It also supports Kobo\u2019s optional Stylus 2, letting you annotate ebooks, jot down handwritten notes, use built-in notebook templates, and even convert your handwriting into typed text. Due to its size, I wouldn\u2019t recommend it as a dedicated digital notebook over something bigger like the Kobo Elipsa 2E or Kindle Scribe, but it\u2019s far more practical for quick notes than using your phone. It also works with Instapaper, making it easy to save web articles for offline reading.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/gadgets\/960282\/kobo-libra-colour-july-fourth-sale-deal-sale\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re not heavily invested in Amazon\u2019s ecosystem, I think the Kobo Libra Colour is a better buy than its closest Amazon rival, the $249.99 Kindle Colorsoft.
