Size-wise, the Libra H2O is compact – measuring 144 x 159 x 5-7.8mm – and can easily be slipped into a handbag or knapsack.
The page-turning buttons will also switch accordingly depending on which side the spine is on, so the reader’s good for both right or left-handed users. The Libra H2O also allows you to save a bookmark of what you’re surfing on other devices on Pocket and then continue on the e-reader.
KOBO LIBRA H2O SPECS INSTALL
Otherwise, specs wise, both the Oasis and Libra H2O are very similar, both are IPX8 waterproof, both have the same 7-inch 300ppi E Ink screen and 8GB storage (the 32GB/cellular version is exorbitantly expensive!).Īlso Kobo has built-in Overdrive, which can be a pain to manually install on the Kindle. The Oasis can play audio books, which my wife doesn’t need.Īt any rate, if she were to listen to audio books, she’ll likely listen to it off her phone anyway. The Kindle Oasis and the Kobo Libra H2O are very similar although the former is Kindle’s flagship whereas Libra H2O is more of a mid-range for Kobo (Kobo’s flagship is the Forma, which is slightly bigger at 8 inches).īetween Oasis and Libra H2O, the list price of the former is almost S$100 higher. With the ComfortLight Pro, we found that overall, despite hours of continuous reading under both dim and bright conditions, there was hardly any eye-fatigue. The e-reader automatically changes the colour temperature of the screen “automatically” based on the time of day (specified in the settings) – with a warmer yellow colour in the evening to reduce blue light. There is no ambient light sensor in the Libra H2O but adjustment of the brightness of the screen is easy and instantaneous by sliding the finger on the left edge of the screen. I reckon it should easily last at least two weeks with one charge. The 1,200mAh battery seems to last forever – my wife has been reading on the Libra for a week for a few hours a day and the battery has barely dropped to half. Rakuten Kobo makes a range of e-readers, of which the Libra H2O is the latest, incorporating new reader-friendly features that have been ported across earlier Kobo e-readers. With the growing popularity of e-books, a good e-reader is essential to support the growing thirst of reading. Singaporeans spent an equivalent of 28 years on reading this year – eight more years than 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge in reading, with a 270% increase in reading minutes in 2020 compared to last year.
