Absolutely and great advice. I should clarify that I did a quick, subjective test outdoors to compare the two models side-by-side, but when actually reading outdoors folks should absolutely protect their eyes/vision.

I don't like my eink screens gray - I want them to be whitish. So I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get the Libra Colour white enough for my taste in certain conditions. To say nothing of the fact that I absolutely don't need or want color. |

The LC I’d describe as having more of a warmer quality to the tone, whereas the L2 was a crisper truer whiter white. Both had natural light off. In comparing ‘whiteness’ of the screen, I can say the L2 is definitely whiter than the LC with backlight on or off. In all honesty, the L2 is whiter than *any* reader I’ve ever used (various kindles, etc.). |

Having recently bought a Clara BW, I was somewhat surprised to see that the screen is noticeably less white than my Aura One. It is significantly sharper and the text is clearer, but the screen has a distinctly more greyish / greenish tinge than the Aura One. Has anyone else noticed this?

All this 'the percentage is too high!' bluster reminds me of this lady I met once who was afraid the Earth would run out of oxygen 'because it's only 21% and that's not very much!'
Percentages are not numbers, they're fractions of numbers. You can't compare percentages unless you know what the base numbers are. Anyone have a light meter and can measure what 100% is on both devices? Because unless we know how many lumens each light source is, we have nothing to compare. I can comfortably eat half an apple, but half a large pizza would make me sick. |

I'm not in the market for a color eReader, but I was happy that those who do want color now have Kobo choices. I just don't think it's a good decision to drop what (I think) was the most popular Kobo model and only offer a color version. The two are not interchangeable, in my opinion. |

For me, the Libra Color will not do. If I needed to replace my Libra 2, I'd be stuck as Kobo has no BW 7" Reader. |
