Kobo Libra Colour for note taking and comics/manga?
Looking to trade my Scribe in for a KLC, was wondering if anyone had experience with both. I like the size of the scribe, but I don’t care much for the screen. I had an Oasis before this and I never liked the screen on that either. I have a hard time getting the settings to look right, and something about the fonts just doesn’t look right. My partner’s paperwhite always looked much better.
Main uses are reading, note taking, and manga/comic reading. Intrigued by the color aspect, but worried about the screen crispness.
I've got a Libra Colour but you gotta keep in mind that colour trueness on epaper is not great. The notebook has limited colour choices and they all kind of look like pastel colours.
Besides that, I am not crazy about the refresh rate. It has techniques to refresh quicker than other ereaders, but it'll still be kind of spotty sometimes.
In reading, I've only seen colours on book covers and they look okay, but if has nowhere near the contrast or vividity of an LCD.
Do you find the refresh rate hampers note taking?
I returned my pen and kept just the reader after a week because the writing experience was overall terrible.
For context: I also own a Supernote Nomad and Remarkable Paper Pro. These devices both highlight how unacceptably bad the Kobo device is.
If you really want an ereader for comics the paper pro is a more appropriate form factor, though the warnings above about limited color range and saturation still apply.
It's not great.
Compared to the Remarkables or the Onyx Booxs (the more expensive one) it's just really rudimentary functionality. It'll do for some light scribbling or if you journal in bursts. I think it's best for just doodling a little.
Good ereader though.
