Libra Colour

I have a Kobo Libra Colour and honestly, I got it because of the hype of the color e-ink display, but the tradeoff is not worth it for me. The screen is way dimmer than a regular black and white one, forcing you to have the frontlight on almost all the time, and the screen has this weird blurry-ness

I'm convinced the Libra Colour is selling like it is because a lot of people hadn't used an e-reader before it. Plenty who have used b/w e-readers like yourself come to that same conclusion, that the inferior actual reading experience (KLC on right KL2 on left) isn't in any way worth seeing the book

It doesn't make any sense at all. This would be practically the same size as the Kobo Libra Colour . But with a smaller screen.

I really wanted to like this thing, with the physical buttons and the freedom to load up on DRM free EPUB format, but honestly, the screen brightness and clarity is so poor without the backlight compared to my 16 year old kindle.

Honestly, you just think you want to read comics on e-ink. Realistically, it's not really there yet. and a 6" or 7" reader is just too small, you would want an 8' color tablet at a minimum, in my opinion. Some will say a 7" reader is good enough, but it seems tiny to me. A tablet is still the best f

It was replaced with the Kobo libra Colour, which is different. Worse brightness and contrast but it now has colours

Great question! Black and white e-ink is pretty high resolution at 300 ppi. However, a Kaleido 3 colour e-ink screen (the most popular and common type of colour e-ink, and the one in the Kobo Libra Colour) is basically a normal 300ppi black and white e-ink screen with a 150ppi colour filter layer on
