Ah yes, reading a book while doing yoga. A very relatable and normal situation.

I'm so happy I waited to see if they would update the Kobo Libra. Can't wait to get my hands on one!

Hi,

I've been using Sony PRS-T2 for 10 years, I started researching a new e-book reader due to night reading light and some features I will mention below. The Kobo Libra-2 seemed like the best option for me (I didn't want Android-based readers), and I researched some of its features and looked at user reviews. But I saw that it did not fully meet my expectations. In fact, with a number of features that can be fixed or added with software, it can be an indispensable device for bookworms.

You could call it the expectations of bookworms.

1. People who read regularly (those who own a library) take notes and want to share their notes too. It would be better if we could export the notes we took, archive them and share them with others. -I have this feature on my device-

2. Electronic readers are the library of book readers. Of course, we would be upset if one or more of the paper books in the house were damaged, but the word "sorry" would not be enough to express this situation if our device, on which we put our electronic library, was completely broken. Therefore, it would be better if we had a cloud system where we can back up our archives and notes. (Since we put all our eggs in the same basket, we feel safe in the basket we put our eggs in.)

3. It would be better to be able to read/listen to any content, whether it is DRM or not, and to be able to underline and take notes.

4. As I said before, I use the PRS-T2 and can draw with the supplied simple plastic pen or with my fingertips without needing to use a special pen. - If I remember correctly, Sony handed over its technology to you at that time.- It would be better if we could simply draw instead of pens with very advanced features and high prices.

5. I am an Ubuntu user and to download a book I have purchased, I need to find a PC with Windows installed (although this is not too difficult, I would like to work comfortably on the system I am using) or download it from my phone. It would be better if your application for computers - considering that your devices are on Linux system - is also for Linux distributions.

6. Some of the texts we read contain other non-Latin scripts, which, as you can imagine, appear unreadable. It would be better if we could read the contents in different alphabets without any problem.

As I said at the beginning, they already have the features I wrote above, but I prefer a reader for reading purposes rather than an e-book reader with Android system. I sincerely believe that your company is reliable and you take customer expectations seriously. Therefore, I expect an e-book reader from you that meets the expectations of us bookworms.

Best regards
C.K.

Waiting for reviews, torn between this and the Kindle Paperwhite 5.

I have a Kobo Glow. Is the upgrade worth it?

[reiniergarcia]

The Kobo Libra 2 is gone from Amazon. Now there is only a Kobo Libra Colour.

Man I JUST bought the libra H2O yesterday....

[-johnny-deep-]

Were those actual page turns I saw? If so, I didn't see any of that annoying slow repainting of the screen. If so, count me as a future customer!

[virginieoger]

I'm frustrated! I can't export my highlights.

[funnyshortvideos]

I am waiting, decrease of price of kobo forma, still it costs 250$, , i hope that, after kobo libra2 its price will decline, , , this is because, majority part of people would rather kobo libra 2 than kobo forma, because it is new model!!😒

[azayn]

Hardware specs are great but alas it still has an indented screen. Come on Kobo, even the regular Kindle has a flush screen.

[moresase]

además en su actualización me borraron todo lo que tenía, nefasto

[rivubardhan]
