Both the Kobo Libra Colour and the Kindle Colorsoft come with the same technology which will make a great company in every environment and light situation, being comfortable for your eyes. Imitating a great experience of reading from paper.
But when it comes to comparing the two color e-readers, we can start by saying that both devices are waterproof, so they can adapt to every environment and tap along with you on vacation even if you are going on the beach.
There are however some subtle differences between the devices such as that the Kindle Colorsoft might appear to be more vibrant and have a more natural look than Kobo’s Color E-reader. So, if you or your book-lover are looking for a more real feel of a book with more vibrant colors, the Kindle Colorsoft might be the choice for you.
Yet, the 7-inch screen offered by the Kobo Libra Color gives you the ability to adjust the light based on your preferences and change the color hue as you wish. The pricing is still an important consideration, as the Libra Color is cheaper and can get you great quality at $80 less than Kidle’s Colorsoft.
Another important feature is that the Kindle Colorsoft offers you the ability to highlight passages from your favorite books when using the stylus support (which you’ll have to purchase separately).
On the other hand, the Libra Color has physical page-turning buttons which can for some make the experience more intuitive. The Libra Color also gives you the ability to “read later” offline articles and has built-in support for Overdrive.
The off part is that the Libra color does not support Kindle library books natively, yet you can convert them and still read them on your Kobo E-reader.
