In fact sometimes you have to hunt for it when the orientation changes and it goes from the top left to the bottom right. The Libra has an indented screen (capacitive touch, not infrared) and the back has a slight rubbery coating on it.įortunately they removed the super stiff power button on the Forma and placed it on the back where it’s out of the way and not easy to accidentally press. The Libra feels nice and comfortable in your hand, but it’s a bit cheaper-feeling than the Forma, which isn’t surprising considering the Forma sells for $250. The Kobo Libra is the second Kobo to have an asymmetrical design with the page buttons situated on one side of the screen, the Kobo Forma being the first. Kobo Libra vs Kindle Oasis Comparison Review The Design If you’re going to buy a Kobo just make sure to get it from somewhere you can easily return it if you happen to get a bad one like I did. But it’s worse on the Libra, and the cool color has a sickly green tone to it.Įither Kobo can’t get frontlights right or they have questionable quality control, and it’s compounded by the fact that these aren’t sold in stores in the US so you can’t go somewhere to test one in person.

My only real complaint with the Kobo Libra is the same complaint I had with the Kobo Forma: the uneven frontlight. A 6-inch screen just seems a bit cramped by comparison.

To me it’s more comfortable to hold than the Kobo Clara HD with the tiny bezels and I like having page buttons.

Frontlight imperfections with noticeable gradient and ugly greenish cool color (it probably varies from one to the next).

With the exception of built-in Dropbox support, it has all the same features as the more expensive Kobo Forma.

Reasonable price for a 7-inch ebook reader that’s waterproof with a color-adjusting frontlight.

Comfortable to hold from the side with a thumb resting on a page button.

It’s available in both black and white, and unlike the Forma, it’s available in an 8GB version only. It sells for $169 from Kobo and Walmart in the US. The Kobo Libra is more of a mid-level model. The Forma is more of a premium model with a flush front screen, it also has a lightweight and durable plastic-based E Ink screen, and the build quality is a bit nicer.

On the surface the Kobo Libra looks like a smaller version of the 8-inch Kobo Forma that was released last year, but there are some key differences between the two.
