  Simply amazing

  The screen and colors are very nice, the buttons and the size of the device are very convenient. Very lightweight and you can hold it with one hand.

  Compared to the Kobo Clara Color, it has a slightly larger screen, buttons to turn pages, but it also supports a stylus and has notebooks for notes. Okay, the writing feel is worse than Remarkable and Super Note, but better than tablets. Personally, I got the Metapen 2 which was on sale and half the price of the Kobo and does the same job.

  If you like to take notes and highlight with colors in books, then get it with your eyes closed.

  I would give it 5* if I didn't need the extra stylus and if it supported Greek. Otherwise, it's a click better than the Libra H2O that I already have: very positive aspects are the black screen, the colors, and the bluetooth

  Everything is ok, battery size, speed. In larger texts, I simply turn it horizontally and they are much easier to read. For reading books, the size is ideal (if we want PDFs, then maybe a larger one would be better).
  It needs a case right away because it easily gets scratched, which doesn't affect its functionality but it's a shame. It also has a slight difficulty with annotations, but with a little patience, you can select the desired text.
  In PDFs, you can't highlight specific quotes, you will need a touch pen to be able to make notes, which I don't have.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  Perfect. Just make sure you know what you're buying. More details:

  * Don't expect colors like those on a mobile/tablet/computer screen. The screen is e-ink, its colors are faded.
  * Good build quality, sturdy in hand.
  * The screen, due to its nature, is not prone to fingerprints. Nevertheless, it's worth getting a case to protect the device and to take advantage of the SleepCover feature. There are good, cheap cases online.

  Attention, IMPORTANT:
  During the initial setup, the device asks for the creation/connection of a Kobo account. You can obviously do this, but if you don't buy books from Kobo, it's useless to you. Don't be a fool, you can bypass it in 2 minutes, as long as you have a computer. Steps (in English, because I'm too lazy to rewrite them in Greek):

  1. Connect Libra Colour to PC.
  2. Go to \.kobo\Kobo and find the Kobo eReader.conf file.
  3. Open the file and add the line SideloadedMode=true under the [ApplicationPreferences] section.
  4. Done! The device will now display the "My Books" tab straight away, and the online store will be disabled. You can re-enable everything by doing the same thing and adding SideloadedMode=false instead of true.

  To open the .conf file, right-click and "open with" Notepad.

  This is how you activate the Sideloaded mode of the device, which disables the Home tab and takes you straight to the My Books tab. No Kobo account is needed, the WiFi works normally, enjoy!
