Review: Ergonomic, light, great display, seamless experience with Google Drive for epubs. - I'd highly recommend this if you prefer to download epubs. I haven't bought Kobo plus because the collection I saw when scrolling didn't seem enticing enough so no comments on that, however, I've been uploading epubs from Google drive and the experience is seamless. The build quality is decent. Since it's made of recycled plastic, the device itself is rather light so doesn't tire you out when you read for hours when travelling or so, I find the design ergonomic as well since I rest my thumb on the right corner rather comfortably and the buttons are easily reachable as well (I have small hands so, yk). I like the feel of the screen as well, the background display—not talking about letters—looks a little grainy (very, very light grainy) and I personally like that since it gives me the feel of a paper. I also like that you can adjust the night mode display and the dark mode option. I haven't read any graphic novels or manga on it yet but the colours are nice considering the book covers I've seen on its display. Overall I'd really recommend this over many other e-readers I've seen, it's a little pricey in comparison in the Indian market but I find it worth it tbh.
Review: A great product and you should definitely go for it. - I had a Kindle basic from long long back and wanted to update it to newer model, possibly with buttons like Kindle Oasis, however Oasis has been out of commission and it was not renewed in newer line-ups of desertcart kindle. The ones which were updated was not having a good feedback from users. Hence I decided to go for Kobo Libra Color(KLC). Here are my thoughts. PROS:- 1. KLC is a color version with physical buttons and the colors are good enough for e-ink technology and please so not expect the tablet like quality in this. Colors are vivid and comics look as good as you can get with this technology(see images). Also you can get even more vivid colors by switching developer mode on. 2. Battery backup is excellent(a week or two probably) with normal reading(couple of hours a day) and even better if the content is pure black and white(B&W). Color has lower dpi but B&W is excellent. 3. You can use stylus for annotating and drawing directly on the book. It also has notebook feature. 4. If there is a screen door effect(search for this term) then either I don't have that issue or it really doesn't matter because it is not at all noticeable. 5. Like I said physical buttons are a god-send and very handy. 6. You use google drive or Dropbox for very easy file transfer. You can also use applications to make it very easy as well. 7. PDFs work very well so epubs is not the only supported format. While you can annotate on PDF file, you can't highlight on the PDFs like you do on epubs(this is because PDFs are basically like images with no text layer) CONS:- 1. You lose the variety that desertcart kindle offers with its large selection of books and also in half the price that Kobo will offer. Regional books will not be found on Kobo and if it is there there it will more expensive than what desertcart offers. A work around is that you can buy on desertcart and convert it to epubs and use it on Kobo. desertcart has that facility. 2. Kindle unlimited is yet another thing you might miss if you use that(I didn't). 3. I don't know if Kobo has service centers in India so that another thing you might have to keep in mind. Final Verdict: Go for it if it is in your budget, it is worth it. Update: Battery backup is even better than I initially said. With an hour of reading daily it can last for around 20+ days. If you faster drain of battery, check the ebooks for some error in Calibre application. Update (23/10/2025) : desertcart no longer allows you to download the books like earlier (atleast I don't know of any method, easy or not, that works), so you won't be able to buy the books here and read it in Kobo any longer. Since this could be an issue for some, I thought I should update this review.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't buy a Kindle. Buy this.
*by M***G on 27 December 2025*

I just upgraded from my 8 year old Kindle Paperwhite and I'm blown away. The screen looks gorgeous and sharp. However, it being a color e-ink display, it is a bit darker than b&w e-ink. That'll be the case for all color e-ink displays that exist currently. Another thing I noticed is that the screen looks a bit "grainy", but personally I don't think it's a problem at all. It's comfortable to hold, well built and light weight. The device feels far more responsive, especially compared to my old Kindle. Page turns are fast and the UI is quite fast. The main pain point of Kindles is the rubber seal which just becomes sticky and starts to fall off after a few years of usage. The Kobo doesn't have any such nonsense. It's just a nice plastic build which I suspect will last much longer. The battery seems to last long enough. Easily lasts a week with the backlight always on (at ~25%) and daily usage of at least an hour, typically more. Colors aren't very accurate nor punchy but it's good enough. But by far the best feature is Google drive integration. You just link your google drive and Kobo makes a folder there where you can upload your books and they just show up on the Kobo. Absolutely amazing!
