Welcome to the new and improved Kobo Reddit Rules Libra 2 is 215g (more if you use a case).īy the way, saw that Libra 2 (and Sage) has an option called 'Dark Mode', no idea if is useful or what, honestly.Anything and everything about the Kobo eReader.

Bought a Libra because its weight was 192g, compared with my old Aura H2O which is 233g it was a big difference (my left hand joints are. The thing I really dislike about the new one is its weight. Screen is the same and I guess battery is also the same (could be better though, I think my old Aura H2O had better battery than this one). Storage is also nice if you read comic/manga or listen audiobooks, not for me because I don't need that much (I mean, right now I have more than 200 books and I only use 2gb of its 8gb space). Usbc is great though, but since I still need to use microusb I don't mind it (yet). So if you wonder about having more updates don't worry, you'll have updates. I was using the first Aura H2O from 7 years ago and I still have updates, so is not like a phone that is old after 2 years and they push you to buy a new one. I think Libra 2 is nice if you have an old ereader, want to listen audiobooks (isn't it better to use a mobile phone for this? I don't like audiobooks so I really wonder if using a ereader for this is a good idea instead of a phone or not) or just want the new model. Tldr: Bottom line is no for me, possibly yes for a family member.īought a Libra two weeks ago and saw today that they released a new version. I try to take a video everytime i open a new device for warranty claim purposes just. I was also considering the Elipsa for the extra screen real estate and just crank the font size up for her. This is a late upload, ive had the libra 2 since late of November 2021. I'm thinking the audiobook feature might be just the thing for her. She has been blind in one eye since she was a toddler, and recently due to undiagnosed high blood pressure, has ruptured a blood vessel in her good eye and had lost a good deal of her remaining vision. Now the Sage has my interest, not for me, but for my 85 year old compulsive reader Mother in Law. It's the most ergonomically comfortable reader I've ever owned. It's hard to tell from the photos but it looks as if the 2 is flat, rather than slightly angled where the buttons are. My Libra charges quickly enough and frankly book files are small enough the extra transfer rate would be close to meaningless. I really couldn't care less about USB-C vs Micro USB. I have never listened to an audio book and most likely never will, so I don't really see the need for the extra storage.

The battery is not good, but it should last a few days, so as long as you dont mind. The Sage though, in my opinion, is the better device because of its screen size, Dropbox support, and note-taking abilities. No hateful or offensive submissions will be allowed. I would venture to say that the Libra has best clarity between them due to its recessed screen, although the difference is marginal. Anything and everything about the Kobo eReader.
