The size is great it's really easy to hold in your hand. The built in backlight is amazing. Controlling the light can be a little annoying, it basically pops down a slider to adjust the brightness, but interacting the slider is a little unruly.
Be careful to buy the correct case, I bought one for an older version and it blocked the power button on the back. The official case was $40 which I think is a little on the expensive side but it does fit perfectly and wakes/sleeps the device when opening and closing which is really nice.
Besides, I am in love with its design, the reader is very thin, light, even though the size of the screen was not as I expected, however, it didn't disappoint me at all. Very fast working, easy in use. Everything delivered in a good condition (both reader and cable).

I like my Libra 2 better (and it is condensation-proof!).

Had some problems as I thought I needed to go through a PC to download BC Library books, untill I realised that with the wifi, it is super simple, just like a tablet
VERY HAPPY
Nous avons choisi Kobo pour la qualité et le confort de lecture, les écrans sont vraiment très agréables et le rétroéclairage indispensable pour lire en toutes circonstances. Nous apprécions également le choix de Kobo pour un format numérique libre (ePub). La plupart des eBooks du marché sont au format ePub, format ouvert et standard pour les livres numériques. Il existe de plus en plus de librairies en ligne pour ceux qui souhaitent sortir des grands monopoles. De nombreux ouvrages sont gratuits (ceux qui appartiennent désormais au domaine public), pratique pour l'étude de certains romans en classe.
Gros lecteurs, nous adorons les livres version papier et continuons d'acheter certains ouvrages que nous souhaitons conserver dans notre bibliothèque, mais au quotidien, la liseuse est très pratique, nous avons près de mille ouvrages et sommes loin de saturer les mémoires des liseuses. Petites et légères, elles se glissent dans un sac, un cartable, voire dans une poche. Ce ne sont pas des objets trop fragiles et bien que gros lecteurs nous ne les rechargeons pas très souvent, environ tous les mois et demi quand le pourcentage de charge atteint les 30%.
N'oubliez pas qu'une liseuse est également très pratique pour les personnes ayant des problèmes de vue. Vous pouvez calibrer la police d'écriture, la taille des caractères, l'interligne, les marges, etc. Cela permet de lire un livre écrit gros sans pour autant avoir l'impression de s'entrainer à la musculation chaque fois qu'on prend l'ouvrage en main : la liseuse est toujours aussi légère.
De plus Kobo est une marque fiable qui propose des appareils très faciles et rapides à paramétrer et utiliser. Les enfants ont eu leur liseuse à l'âge de 8/10 ans et ont immédiatement compris le fonctionnement très intuitif de ce nouveau livre.
