Going back to your query on annotations, Pocket's client for Kobo doesn't support highlighting, unfortunately, unlike their iOS and Android clients. If you want to annotate webpages, the easiest workflow is: (a) use a browser plugin like EpubPress or similar to download your page as an epub (b) wirelessly sync the epub to your Kobo via the built-in Dropbox or Google Drive sync You'll then have an epub you can annotate or highlight using Kobo's built-in tools, and from which you can extract highlights using any of the methods available for epubs. |

Just got my freshly ordered Kobo Libra Color. Following the thread I expected a slightly worse b&w Screen quality, but the device I got is worse then expected.
The Screen is much darker, about 85% Light setting is equivalent to 20% on my sage. The colour of the comfort Light in its whitest/coolest setting is still warmer then my current default Temperature on the sage which ist roughly 15%. There is a to me quite visible grid about 1x1 milimeters visible in most angles. There is a slight rainbowy moire effect even after cleaning the screen. To me the screen feels more like an old LCD then a booklike epaper experience. To be fair I was always One of those people that was very prone to notice colour gradient and Light uneveness in the early frontlights, so your milage may vary. But if you are succeptible to this aswell, avoid this Generation of screens. In Addition the body itself fells just like plain plastic to the Touch, with no anti-slip rubberized coating.

That is rather extreme. With my Sage set at 20% (warm light off) my Libra Colour's equivalent is 25-26%.

From asking someone who has both a Libra Colour and a Libra 2, you need to have the light on the LC up at about 15-20% to get a similar brightness to the L2 with no light. That to me is too dark.

I don't normally have any frontlight on H2O original, Libra, Libra 2, Sage or Elipsa.

Indoors I set the light to ~20%. This gives the screen a whitish appearance. Outdoors the ambient light easily outshines the front light so the screen is just kind of grey. I got used to it.

It's interesting how opinions on Kaleido 3 vary so widely. Some people think it's amazing, and some people hate it. I selfishly hope that enough people hate it and return their Libra Colours that Kobo will release a Libra BW.

I am still on Libra H2O. I am considering Libra Color but I know I won't read anything in Color. But the new processor and bigger battery sound nice. Libra H20 is my only device not using USB-C too. I am entirely undecided.

If you don't read in colour, the LC is a significant downgrade from the H2O. Kaleido screens are darker and have worse contrast than Carta does.

The most important thing for novels is the screen quality, not cpu speed, RAM or battery. All Kaleido screens are poorer than a 300 dpi mono screen of similar size. |

*Rolls eyes*... great to see all the comentators who have clearly not tried one of the new kobos tell us what's what. Still, as much as I like the Libra colour, I don't think it would be much, (if any) of an upgrade from the Libra H2O, yes, the battery is larger capacity, but the increased processing, requirement for more light, etc, will offset that.

Basic physics. Put coloured ink dots on the pixels of a 300 dpi mono eink panel and it can NEVER be as good as the mono panel for
B&W text and images. Fact, not opinion. It may suit some people wanting colour content on a dedicated eink ereader, but it's crazy if you only read B&W content. |

Yeah, I've noticed that too. My experience with the Clara Color, it's really not bad at all. Admittedly, when I had to replace my HD, I chose the BW instead of a Color. But if I bought a Color for myself, I'd read happily on it for years.

I have the color Libra and prefer it for reading BW to my Elipsa and Sage. The letters are extremely clear, and I like seeing the covers in color. The size and weight of the Libra make it very easy to hold. I'd get a BW if I thought it rendered text better, but the BW does not have Dropbox.
