Overview
Kobo's color e-reader with a 7 inch Kaleido 3 E Ink display, physical page-turn buttons, and IPX8 waterproofing rated for 60 minutes in up to 2 meters of water. It holds up to 24,000 ebooks or 150 audiobooks on 32GB of storage.
Unlike the Kindle lineup, Libra Colour supports the Kobo Stylus 2 (sold separately) for handwritten notes and color markup directly on the page, along with left and right screen rotation and physical buttons for page turns. Kobo also highlights the build materials, recycled and ocean-bound plastics, and a repairable design, as part of its pitch. Reading access runs through the Kobo Store and library lending via OverDrive rather than Amazon's ecosystem.
