There's also the usual Kindle Oasis features we saw in the previous generation – a high-quality and large 7-inch display with E Ink technology that makes words on the page crisp and clear, and a 'ridge' on one side of the sleek metal body that has been designed for easy and comfortable single-hand use. The backlight can be adjusted from white to warmer yellow hues to reduce eye strain, and it can even be scheduled to become warmer at bedtime (say, 9:30pm for example). While it might be getting a bit long in the tooth (considering tech these days has a quicker turnaround), it's still our pick for the most premium ereader you can get today.ĭespite an aluminum chassis, the Oasis is lighter than the plastic-bound Kobo Libra 2 listed above and its IPX8 waterproofing means it can easily handle an accidental dunk in the bath, the pool or the kitchen sink. If money is no object and you want the most luxurious reading experience a digital ebook reader can give you, then it doesn't get any better than the 2019 version of Amazon's Kindle Oasis.

Read the full review: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
It really does make a huge difference compared to cheaper ereaders. It's a little pricey for a Kindle but it's a worthy investment. Also, it's waterproof with an IPX8 rating so it's perfect for using in the bath or while relaxing in the pool on holiday. Charging is faster too thanks to USB-C support, with up to 10 weeks of battery life possible here (an improvement over the older version).Įlsewhere, an adjustable warm light means you can change the screen shade from white to amber and get things just how suits you.
Amazon promises up to 20% faster page turns than before and such differences soon add up. In addition, it's speedier than its predecessor. The screen offers a resolution of 300ppi with a glare-free display that means you can read it in bright sunlight without a problem. Even better, thinner borders means less plastic to hold onto or look at. It now has a larger display being 6.8-inches. The latest standard Kindle Paperwhite feels anything but standard. If Kobo can figure out a way to speed this tiny bit up, there's not going to be anything to complain about here.Īll the other great features that make Kobo ereaders stand apart from the Kindles is here – OverDrive support to let you borrow library books, Pocket integration so you can read saved web articles, extensive file format support and a very streamlined interface.
While charging is now faster thanks to the USB-C port, the device goes into 'trickle charging' mode once it hits about 92% battery and the rest of the way is, strangely, very slow. There's even a bigger battery in the Libra 2 as compared to the Libra H2O (1,500mAh vs 1,200mAh), so you can keep reading for weeks before you're going to set it aside for a top-up. This makes text appear sharper even though the resolution is the same 300ppi shared by several older Kobo devices. Coming with the latest E Ink Carta 1200 touchscreen, there's a marked difference in not just overall performance, it's also a higher-contrast screen than anything Kobo has used before. The aforementioned firsts aside, the Libra 2 even ups the ante on performance and responsiveness. It's in no way 'cheap', but take all the upgrades into account and the value for money here is unbeatable. see where we're going with this?Īnd it does all this without costing too much more than the Libra H2O it's essentially replacing. It's the first mainstream Kobo ereader to come with 32GB of internal storage (the Elipsa was the first Kobo device with that much storage but it's not what you'd call 'mainstream'), the first to offer Bluetooth/audiobook support, the first to come with a USB-C charging/data port. The Kobo Libra 2 sets the bar really high for ereaders to come, particularly from the Japanese-Canadian company itself.
