The only color e-reader you should be looking at is now on sale, at an all-time high

If you love reading, an e-reader is an absolute must. It’s much easier on the eyes than a phone or tablet, and the battery life can last for weeks at a time. While I used to use a Kindle, I recently upgraded to a Kobo Libra Color.

Not only is it more comfortable to use in the hand, but the buttons make turning pages smooth. The color screen isn’t necessary, but it adds a touch of character to the text when taking out notes or highlighting key points. Simply put, I enjoyed my time with it.

That said, the retail price isn’t cheap. Although its retail price is usually $230, it is now available for a much lower price. For a limited time, you can get this e-reader on Amazon or Rakuten for just $200. It’s still not cheap, but I promise it’s worth it if you like reading.

As for the hardware, you’re looking at a 7-inch display with a resolution of 1264 x 1680. The text and images on the page are sharp and display equally well in all conditions thanks to the built-in backlight. If you’re a fan of comics or manga, you’ll love the way the illustrations look on Libra Color.

My old Kindle used touch to turn pages, so turning pages in books on the Libra Color feels more natural thanks to the physical buttons. There’s also a stylus for taking notes or highlighting text, which is a nice touch. There’s plenty of storage with 32GB, designed to hold over 20,000 books at a time.

You can also download and listen to audiobooks. Battery life is solid, running for up to four weeks without a charge. Plus, charging is easy thanks to the USB-C port. I think you will like this e-reader. Just make sure you get it while it’s on sale.
