Review: It's a Good E-Reader and a Good E-Journal - I have been looking for a digital notebook for a while, but the price tag on other products was a bit out of my budget. When I saw a review for this project I was pretty excited. I am an avid reader, and I love ereaders. I was interested in trying something other than my kindle. So this seemed perfect, and e reader and an e notebook. It has been fantastic. I love making notes in the books that I'm reading, and I read exclusively on the kobo now. It's of course very portable. So far it's perfectly reliable, as long as I sync it from the home page regularly. It took a while to learn to use the kindle, and then it took a while to learn to use the Kobo, but now that I'm used to it it's very easy to use. The battery life is good. I love the slight color on the screen, but it's definitely muted. The notebook feature is perfect. You can make folders to organize the different notebooks. Its simple, and not overwhelming. I'm happy with the accessories I chose: random case with a stylus strap, and a meta stylus. I wanted to use it for a while before I reviewed it. I use it to journal every morning primarily because it helps for me to actually write instead of type, and I read maybe 10 hours a week or so on it. I've had this for a little less than six months, and it's still enjoyable to use.
Review: IDK What to Put Here - EDIT: Previously, I mistakenly stated that this has no security, but it does in the form of a PIN. I've updated my review to reflect that, and bumped it up to 5 stars This is my first eReader so I have no comparison of performance compared to others. I'll list the cons first in case there are any deal-breakers for people, then they can stop reading and look for something else. Cons: -No SD/microSD slot -No NAS drive option -No headphone jack -Will get you addicted to reading Neutrals: -Looks like something from old Star Trek Pros: -Clear, readable text -Decent Colour -Readable in blinding sunlight -Super lightweight -Great battery life -Supports Google Drive, Overdrive & Dropbox -Probably won't shatter when you drop it Despite a few drawbacks, I still greatly enjoy this eReader. I don't foresee myself needing more than 32GB of storage for books, as I'm not an audio book guy (yet), and even so, I can transfer anything from my laptop to the Libra anyway. But still, I do have a NAS drive and microSD cards lying around, so being able to use those would've been a nice feature for peace of mind and feeling like I didn't overspend on tech stuff (lol). Maybe one day we'll get an OTA update that let's us use NAS drives. Now for the cool stuff! I wasn't completely sold on an eReader since I already have a tablet, but I decided to buy one anyway to see what the fuss is about, and I ultimately still love this thing. It's incredibly light and doesn't tire my hands like a tablet or a book, and being able to fit so many books onto something so small still wows me. Dang it, I just love technology! Syncing this with Google Drive just makes things even better. I've never dropped this thing but it looks a lot more durable than a glass phone, or even a tablet, and I'm confident it can survive a few drops. If you're someone who frequently drops stuff, I'd still buy a case for the aesthetic, if anything- this looks like it was designed by the same people who designed Star Trek Voyager computers. But maybe that's the case for all eReaders, no pun intended. Thanks to my allergies, I dislike going outside, but I did bother to test it in direct, blinding, sunburnable light and the brightness still makes things more than readable. If you're someone who likes to pretend they're a White Lotus character and reads on the beach with sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat, this can be a part of your prop arsenal. Personally, I like to read in bed before I go to sleep and I haven't dropped it on my face yet. As far as colour is concerned, it doesn't look as nice as my tablet or phone, but maybe that's asking too much. Apparently, colour eReaders are a mindblowing new thing so it might wow you. I haven't fully converted and sub'd to their book shop, so I can't comment on the experience there; I still have my Kindle Unlimited sub still active and may also buy a Kindle to see how the experience compares. I do notice that the Kindle app on my tablet tries to sell me new books hardcore and is way more in my face than this shop's. Despite that, I might end up with two book subs since it's current_Year and everyone has 10 streaming subs anyway. Carrying around two eReaders is definitely not as physically demanding as carrying two thick books. If you have the expendable income, why not have the best of both worlds? In short, this Libra Colour is gas. I've reconnected to my nerdy childhood and I'm reading tonnes more thanks to it. For anyone who loves reading, this is an amazing experience with ridiculous battery life compared to a phone or tablet, and won't strain your eyes. 5 Ryan Reynolds'!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I do love it, but Bluetooth requires Wi-Fi to be on! Mod it Nickel Menu to only toggle on bt
*by T***M on September 3, 2026*

One full day in and I've already finished a book on it, so take that as a compliment to the screen and the form factor. The problem: you can't run Bluetooth without Wi-Fi. This isn't just my unit — Kobo's own support pages say so, and I didn't know it when I bought it. My whole library is sideloaded, so I don't need Wi-Fi at all. I wanted Bluetooth for a page-turner remote to read hands-free in bed, because my hands get ice cold. The battery dropped 50% in a single day. That's not the "weeks of battery" this is sold on. A firmware update did fix a related bug where both radios switched themselves back on after I'd turned them off, but there's still no way to run Bluetooth alone. So I'll probably fall back on the page-turner I already own, the kind with a little tapper that sticks to the screen and physically taps it — no Bluetooth needed. Clunky, but I'd rather have weeks of battery than a day. Two things I had to figure out myself: Using a MagSafe case or PopSocket ring? Go to Energy saving and privacy and uncheck "Automatically sleep and wake," or the magnet puts the device to sleep and it stays asleep. Reading stats are buried in settings instead of on the home screen of the book you're reading. What I like: the page-turn buttons are excellent — first e-reader I've enjoyed holding. Amazon should bring back a button model to compete. Sideloading works out of the box, which is why I bought it. I may still mod it with KOReader later for better stats, but it's nice that I don't have to. (Kobo's new StoryGraph integration doesn't track sideloaded books, so it's useless to me anyway.) Three stars. A mechanical screen-tapper being smarter than the device's own Bluetooth tells you where this falls short. Update I figured out how to toggle on Bluetooth without Wifi turning on. With Nickel Menu. So now 4 stars if you side load and don't need Wifi to turn on with it draining your battery. I really was hoping out of the box I would not want or need to mod it but here we are. Search youtube & reddit for help if you are not a techie. But its way easier than the Kindle. :)
