I switched from Kindle Oasis to Kobo Libra Colour and will try to answer some of your questions. You can change the screen zones from the settings, I can't remember what the default was but I have the whole middle part for the menus not just the bottom of the screen, and you can drag from the top to

E-readers generally have terrible quality control. A lot of units aren’t uniform, especially devices with Kaleido screens. I recall seeing a post in one of the e-reader subreddits of Kobo Libra Colours stacked together and none of the screens were the same shade, some being noticeably colder or warm

I do. Color highlighting is my favorite feature. I can't see myself going back. Would I like a brighter colored eink device that doesn't drain my battery really fast? I do. But so far, I like the Kobo Libra Color.

I love my kobo libra colour and it's actually more comfortable to my eyes than my kindle oasis. That said, if the colour screen bothered you on the kindle, then I don't think you'll find much difference with kobo, they're both using kaleido 3 screens. I suggest you wait till the next generation of c

I’m a pretty dedicated Kobo owner but it’s largely personal preference. The Paperwhite is a really good device and Amazon’s ecosystem is very easy to use. There’s a reason that Amazon is basically the default ereader for a lot of people. I switched to Kobo for two reasons. First, the form factor of

I have a black Kobo Clara BW and a black Kobo Libra Colour. I like that they match, black does not stand out when reading in a darker environment, I like the contrast against the screen and I like the color black more. You can sometimes go wrong with the color white, but you can never go wrong with

but the kobo libra colour was my first ereader. I think this is the key difference, and why so many people are on the Libra color now. Question - were you using the paperwhite with the frontlight on, like I expect you were with the KLC? To put in perspective of how older e-ink readers worked with th

Kobos kobo libra colour is fantastic. Blows kindle out of the water and I won't be coming back to amazon again.
