Kobo Libra design big and old fashion
Have looked at the other 7" e readers and tye Libra looks so old fashion, bulky and thicker than the rest.

As I result I choose the Clara and for something ad an arounder and get books from anywhere, going to go for the Boox go 7. Much more ompact and best of all up to 1tb storage using SD card

The Libra looks old and the bulkest out of them all

If you care about the physical appearance of the device more than its functionality, then by all means ignore the Libra. I prefer to choose my electronics based on their capabilities and not on their suitability as fashion accessories.

Who needs to fill 1TB in order to carry around more books then you could ever read in your lifetime?

No one is forcing you to buy the Libra if you don't want.

I agree it's a bit bulky, but I feel it is comfortable enough to hold. As to the storage, I only read novels, not comics or manga, so even 32GB is far more than I can read in decades.

Yeah. My whole calibre library with tens of thousands of books is only about 60 GB.

The Kobo Libra's design may be seen as big and old-fashioned by some, but it offers a sturdy build and practical features. Its larger size allows for a more comfortable reading experience, especially for those who prefer bigger text and easy navigation. While its aesthetics might not be the most modern, its functionality and user-friendly interface make it a reliable choice for avid readers.

Also, the Libra 2 is thicker and heavier which helps make for easier holding. Sometimes a device can been too thin and too light to be all that good to hold.

I'm replying to someone who thinks a smaller Reader has to be better because it fits in one of his overly large pockets. Let it get broken and then he'll learn not to use a pocket.

Also, the Clara BW is not better then the Libra 2. It's different yes, but better, no way.

The poster Rohan77 you replied to in your previous post is a spammer (they have a link hidden in their post). I reported it a while ago, but the post is still there.

The link is under the comma after the word "experience".

That is very sneaky. I've also reported it.

It's worth noting that one of their earlier posts also contained a hidden link, albeit to a different site.
