Kobo is at present working a Spring Sale and the Kobo Libra 2 is their solely studying system that’s on sale this time.
Throughout the sale you will get the Kobo Libra 2 for $169.99 with free transport. That’s solely $20 off the common worth so it isn’t something to get enthusiastic about, however I don’t assume Kobo has ever taken greater than $20 off the Libra 2 because it was launched.
You’d assume they may take greater than $20 off of a tool that’s occurring three years previous, particularly after they raised the listing worth by $10 final yr, however Kobo by no means deeply reductions their ereaders. Even after they exchange it with a brand new mannequin they’ll nonetheless in all probability solely take $20 off. In the meantime Amazon has some Kindles on sale for $30-$100 off for his or her Spring Sale, however Amazon all the time beats Kobo on sale costs.
In accordance with Kobo’s web site, the sale on the Kobo Libra 2 ends on April 4th. The deal is legitimate at Kobo and from licensed resellers at Amazon and Walmart.
The Kobo Libra 2 is one among my favourite ereaders of all time. It has a 7-inch E Ink Carta 1200 display screen, and the distinction is best than most different ereaders because of the dearth of an extra flush entrance layer. It has Darkish Mode as effectively for white textual content on a black background.
The system additionally has a frontlight with adjustable shade temperature, and the web page buttons work effectively. It has 32GB of storage, a USB-C port, there’s Bluetooth for streaming audiobooks, it’s waterproof (IPX8 rated), and battery life is basically good, quite a bit higher than the dearer Kobo Sage.
The one factor I don’t like in regards to the Libra 2 is the plastic casing feels form of low-cost, however that may be stated for lots of Kobos through the years, and not less than the plastic is holding up effectively and it doesn’t present scratches and smudges as simply as Kindles.
