![]() ![]() Me, I like Amazon, but then again this might be an American perspective I get the sense that Amazon is the dominant player in the US book market, but that the international market might be a different story. ![]() I think it comes down to ecosystem generally this seems like the device for tech enthusiasts who know what Calibre is and want to avoid using Amazon, for reasons they perceive as either practical, ethical, or moral. What do you think of it based on the reports so far? Would you buy one?Ĭurious: you state twice, once in the headline and again in the copy, that you "would" - so are you? Did you preorder? Is this going to become the new digital reading device of choice for the Digital Reader, who believes it is the Kindle Oasis Killer TM (lol nah). I have finished a book since I got the Libra yesterday, and I have a couple more in the series that I plan to read on Kobo’s new ereader. In general I would say that the Libra H2O is a pleasure to hold and use. I did note that the frontlight is uneven on the inside edge (the one against the page turn buttons) but that is a relatively minor issue, and in fact I don’t care (I just mention it in case it might concern you). The Libra H2O was described in a couple of the early reports as being cheaper and more flimsy in construction, but I would not say that was the case. You wouldn’t think an inch of screen size would matter, but the smaller ereader is just nicer in some I can’t explain. I didn’t care for the Forma when I saw it last fall, and I still don’t like it, but I do like the Libra H2O. My review unit arrived Monday afternoon (there was a snafu), and based on what I’ve seen so far, I would. That’s the same price as the Kindle Oasis, which has a 7″ screen. While the latter’s screen is plastic backed and thus more rugged, the two devices have essentially the same electronics, and a difference in price of about $90 ($169 vs $249).īTW, Kobo dropped the US price of the Kobo Forma today, to $249. It sports a 7″ Carta E-ink screen to the Forma’s 8″ Mobius E-ink screen. The Libra H2O is the smaller cousin to the Kobo Forma that launched around this time last year. Kobo’s newest ereader went up for pre-order today on the Kobo, Walmart, and Indigo websites, and will be shipping next week will you buy one? Will You Buy the New Kobo Libra H2O? (I Would) ![]()
