I've been using the Libra since yesterday (switching between black and white) and so far I really like how easy it is to start a book in comparison to the Kindle. The Kindle shows the 3 most recent books on your home screen, but that could also be the last 3 books you imported. Not necessarily the books you're reading. Kobo does that better. You always have the 3 books you're actually reading on your home screen.

The text is still super crisp and the contrast is great. One thing that REALLY bothers me though is that the black Libra has an unnatural green/yellow screen. If I turn up the comfort lights it just becomes this sickly orange.
The white Libra doesn't have this! The screen is whiter (not an optical illusion) and the comfort lights just make the screen look like it should, like you're reading with candle light.

I just decided I was going to keep the black one but the screen color bothers me too much. So much so that I ordered a second black device to see if that screen will be better.

So the fact that the screens can differ so much between devices is not a good thing in my book. That means there will probably be all kinds of different Libra screen qualities out there. It was the same with my Kindle Voyage. I tried 3 and kept the best one. The Paperwhite never had this problem.
