Kobo Libra 2 review: still the best ereader option around

The best-value mainstream ereader yet

Winning asymmetric design ; 32GB storage ; Audiobook support

Battery charging can be erratic

The Kobo Libra 2 replaced one of our favourite ereaders in October 2021, coming in at about the same price as the Libra H2O, but with far more storage, Bluetooth support for audiobooks and a USB-C charging port. Even with newer models from different...

Kobo Libra 2 review: Perfectly balanced e-reading

Very comfortable in the hand thanks to the ergonomic raised edge on the right-hand side ; Battery life is excellent

Basic built-in speakers would be good. Not top-of-the-line, just something that’s there if you can’t be bothered leaving the room/bed to grab your speaker/headphones ; Takes a while to power up after pressing the on button. Not too long, but it is...

Kobo Libra 2 and Kobo Plus review -- the other e-reader

The Kobo Libra 2 offers the ability to read to most formats available online along with many other useful features including OverDrive public library support. Kobo Plus is great for those who like to read random books but not so much if you are looking...
