I’m running a Kobo Libra 2 that I bought last year, to upgrade from my Kobo Aura One. Getting an e-ink device has definitely been one of the best decisions I’ve made, I’ve read so much more since then

      I asked someone above as well, but how do you find the colour screen in comparison with black and white? I’ve heard people complaining a bit about the screen door effect.

        The color could be better in general, but personally I love having it. I don’t read a lot of comics on it, so the main use for me is book covers and color highlights, but now that I am used to it, I wouldn’t want to go back. It’s also really good for children’s books since the colors tend to be very vibrant anyway, but anything dark and moody gets pretty muddy.

        I also have the KLC and I love it having upgraded from a Libra H2O, but you do lose some crispness compared to a black and white screen. Basically you need to activate the light quite a bit more often/sooner than before, but the color is nice, USB-C is a big bonus, and the pen support is at least interesting if not a pretty big opportunity (though I use a Supernote so I don’t really need that feature).

        I haven’t really suffered too much in terms of battery life or enjoyment from having to light it up more, and I wouldn’t say there’s been a significant screen door effect on mine. The color is a little pale, but I find it reminiscent of newsprint and comic book coloration in a charming way.
