Amazing for readers
I received my Kobo a few days ago, I’ve set it up and downloaded several books to read. I am really loving it so far. I’m going to look into getting the pen to use with it.

I Took the Leap and the Game Changed!
Having used many eReaders and wanting to future- proof my purchase of a new one, I decided to go out on a limb and chose the Libra colour. The battery life is exceptional, it's waterproof and the colour quality is excellent. It has a dark mode and low light mode plus more. The storage is huge and even better, Kobo plus gives unlimited books and audiobooks for significatly less subscription cost per month than more popular competitors.The side buttons for page turning are perfect for long reading, no more fumbling page turns and the reading real estate is comfortably substantial. The only downside is having to buy the pen seperately because the deals for the whole package are so popular, buying the reader and pen together is impossible! All this aside, the notebook/ highlight/ margin notes function is beyond what I was hoping for. If you are a big reader and like to annotate, the Libra is worth saving up for. It is outstanding!

The Best e-reader Currently Available
This e-reader is quite simply the best one currently on the market. Easy to obtain and download books from Kobo, from any other online ebook providers, or from your local library, and books can be sorted into read, unread, new, or any other categories. The font and size are easy to change, and brightness changes are automatic or can be changed to your own liking. All this, and it is also possible to highlight or make notes on your books in different colours. It does all the bog standard stuff you expect from an e-reader, and more. Truly, a brilliant product and well worth the money.

Great buy
This is my first eReader and after a lot of research I decided on this one and I'm so glad I did 😀 it is super easy to use and has a lot of great features. I get headaches from reading on my phone, but the screen is so clear that reading is a pleasure again.

Love it
I bought this to escape the Amazon store ecosystem with ebooks and it was such a good purchase. I love the ability to borrow library books on it while also being able to shop from the kobo store. It was super easy to set up and get started on and linking my library card couldn’t have been easier. I love being able to annotate directly on the page (it took me all of 2 days to be convinced to buy the pen) and it’s so comfortable to hold. The colour adds to the reading experience as I can highlight in colour and get the full experience of reading comics and graphic novels

Yes you can use borrowbox, but you need to go through a computer or laptop and dobit through Adobe reader, and then you need to plug kobo into computer or laptop and drag the file to your kobo
Hello there. you cannot download Borrowbox as The Kobo Libra Colour Wi-Fi 32GB E-Reader and you would need to purchase books directly from Kobo. Thanks for using Q and A.
Hi Aly.
Kobo Libra Colour 32GB Wi-Fi E-Reader - Black does not have an SD card slot.
Thanks for using Q and A.
The buttons to turn pages forwards or backwards can be used on any side, right or left, and the text moves accordingly so it is always the right way up. It is fully rotatable, and as well as being usable with the buttons right or left. Not sure why anyone would want to, but it is also readable with the buttons top or bottom for anyone wanting to read in wide screen mode rather than portrait mode.
Hello adi,
I can confirm the Kobo Libra Colour 32GB Wi-Fi E-Reader - Black will auto rotate to where you would prefer to see the screen.
