Kobo Libra 2

The Kobo Libra 2 is the champion for readers who prioritize an open ecosystem and ergonomic design. It features a asymmetrical design with physical page-turn buttons and a 7-inch, 300 PPI E Ink Carta 1200 screen, which offers faster page refresh rates. Its standout feature is native support for EPUB files (the universal standard) and direct integration with OverDrive, allowing users to borrow library books directly from the device—a seamless experience unmatched by Kindle. It's also IPX8 waterproof and supports audiobooks via Bluetooth.

The Kobo ecosystem encourages more personalization with features like reading stats, customizable font weights, and robust Pocket integration for saving articles. The Libra 2 is the ideal device for voracious library users, those with personal EPUB collections, and anyone who prefers not to be locked into a single corporate bookstore.
