Kobo Libra 2

Winning asymmetric design ; 32GB storage ; Audiobook support

Battery charging can be erratic

The Kobo Libra 2 replaced one of our favourite ereaders in October 2021, coming in at about the same price as the Libra H2O, but with far more storage, Bluetooth support for audiobooks and a USB-C charging port. Even with newer models from different...

Small form factor ; Even, unobtrusive front light ; Page-turn buttons

Closed ecosystem ; No MP3 support ; No headphone jack

If you don't have a problem sideloading your books and don't care about your base ecosystem , the Kobo Libra 2 is the clear winner in this category. It costs about $80 less than the 32GB Kindle Oasis, and the lack of page-turn buttons puts the...

The Kobo Libra 2 is a premium eReader — priced at Rs 19,990 — with a lot to offer, especially for Indian readers who value a large, comfortable reading experience and open format support. However, the high price tag might just prove a deterrent to...

Very comfortable in the hand thanks to the ergonomic raised edge on the right-hand side ; Battery life is excellent

Basic built-in speakers would be good. Not top-of-the-line, just something that’s there if you can’t be bothered leaving the room/bed to grab your speaker/headphones ; Takes a while to power up after pressing the on button. Not too long, but it is...

Comfortable to use, these are both great devices, at a good price. While both get the job done with power and comfortable lighting, I actually prefer the Libra 2 despite it having a smaller screen than the Sage. It just feels more familiar, having used...

An amazing eReader from Kobo for one-handed operation and also supports playing Audiobooks

The Kobo Libra 2 offers the ability to read to most formats available online along with many other useful features including OverDrive public library support. Kobo Plus is great for those who like to read random books but not so much if you are looking...

Rapport qualité/prix imbattable ! ; Écran 300 ppp, comme en haut de gamme ; Une liseuse presque aussi complète que la Paperwhite ; Excellente autonomie ; Bluetooth intégré (et plein de potentiel) ; Coque antidérapante ; Gère le format EPUB ; Système...

Plastiques un peu « cheap» ; Pas de gestion native du format EPUB ; Pas d'éclairage frontal orange pour la nuit (mais un mode sombre à la place) ; Écosystème Amazon très confiné ; À quand l'arrivée du service Audible pour Kindle en France ? ; Faible...

C'est en 2022 que la marque américaine dévoile sa onzième génération de Kindle. Que de chemin parcouru depuis 2007 !

Design ergonomique, étanchéité ; Prise en charge des livres audio via Bluetooth ; Système simple d’emploi et véloce ; Abonnement audio-books attractif

Poids et mensurations en hausse ; Impossible de lire des fichiers audio tiers

Avec sa Libra 2, Kobo s’insère dans un secteur en plein boom : celui des livres audio. Très efficace pour la lecture numérique, la petite liseuse canadienne ajoute donc une corde à son arc en utilisant le bluetooth. Elle dame ainsi le pion à Amazon qui...
