The Kobo Libra Colour is my favorite Kindle alternative for one key reason
Where customizable buttons meet color.
I’ve been a long-time Kindle user, but when offered the chance to try the $219 Kobo Libra Colour, I was intrigued. Lured by the prospect of physical buttons, a color display, and a more open ecosystem, I wanted to see if this Kobo could compete with the Kindle experience I’ve been accustomed to for years. A concerning number of dragon-themed books later, I can confidently say that it’s a worthy alternative, especially if you’re after a tactile page-turning experience with a unique selling point the Kindle no longer has: physical buttons.
Turn the page, with buttons!
