Only the Kobo Forma and the older Elipsa Pack still carry the same price they arrived with. In the second half of 2022, Kobo quietly increased the prices of older ereaders released prior to that timeline, so the likes of the Libra 2, Sage and the Nia are slightly costlier than at launch. the 8-inch Kobo Forma (£239.99 / AU$429.95 – unavailable in the US).When it comes to the different models, Kobo provides the larger range in most markets as compared to Kindle.Ĭurrently, there are seven Kobo ereaders in the range, with only the 8-inch Forma unavailable in the US (refurbished Formas can be purchased): So it might just be me and my quirks.Kindle vs Kobo price and available models Running a 12" laptop (previously, 13" was the bare minimum I could endure), my cell phone (going from S21+ to S23), and then my e-reader (from 7.8" to 6"). PS: a lot might have to do with my current mentality. I came from a 7.8" Kobo (very old model) and I thought I might miss the bigger screen size. The other consideration for me was that the screen doesn't auto rotate regardless of how I'm lying in bed, which is important for me (learned from my experience with reading on cell phones and the auto rotate really is irritating for me, such that I disable that feature on my phone).įinally, the portability is great for me as I don't have a lot of space in my bag and I have many gadgets to carry (laptop, phone, e-reader) along with other non gadget stuff. I like the smaller size for being able to lie in bed on my side and the smaller footprint is great for my (smaller) hands. I went with Clara 2e for a number of reasons: Unfortunately, even with the discount on the protective cover, that's still pretty steep for me, especially since I only plan on using my e-reader for my friends' stories and to borrow e-books from libraries. do they ever go on sale, or if there are any overstock marketplaces that might sell it at a discounted price? Right now Kobo is offering 50% off on the sleep covers when you order one with a Libra 2, which makes the Libra 2 ~$200. Additionally, if you do think it's worth getting a Libra 2.Those of you who have one, would you agree? Is it worth it to shell out the extra $50 or so for a Libra 2? The reviewer liked the Libra 2 more for its even back-lighting and how comfortable it was to hold and use. Libra 2 is quite expensive and the Clara 2E has the more eco-friendly draw due to being made with recycled plastics.Is this a common thing with Kobo e-readers, and if so, is there a way to turn it off? I would find that extremely distracting. I really love the look and size of Libra 2, but I watched a couple of reviews on YouTube and noticed that the screen would sporadically flash black whenever navigating between pages or pressing buttons.After poking around some online, I think that Kobo looks like my best choice. Hi! I'm looking for an e-reader that would be good for reading my friends' original stories, which means I need an e-reader that will easily allow me to drag and drop EPUBs from my computer onto the device. ![]() Discussion of DRM removal is allowed for books you have purchased legally but please note that legal requirements for DRM vary by region.
