After reading that Amazon are possibly phasing out Transfer Via USB, I took a look at Kobo ereaders and fell in love with the form factor of the Libra 2.
Things I love about it:
The form factor. Its squarer shape and the buttons.
The gyroscope. I'm often switching between portrait and landscape mode. On my kindles, this involves faffing about with the page settings. I like the way turning the Libra 2 changes the mode for me.
The warm light. It appears much better than when I tried a Clara HD a few years ago. Had to send this back due to significant light bleed and bright spots.
Does anyone know if the Libra 2 has this problem? I haven't found any info about this.
Can I use the Libra 2 on permanent aeroplane mode? I don't have wifi (by choice) so need to download books to my laptop. I also need to be able to register the device without wifi. There's a possibility someone who lives over the road from me might let me use his wifi for registration, but he's been a hypochondriac since covid and hates having anyone in his house!
Does the battery hold its charge well? When I'm really into a book I read for two or three hours a day but don't like having to charge the battery every few days. My PW3 is beginning to lose charge even when sleeping, and its not indexing.
Is the Kobo site full of good cheap books? Do they often have freebies? Can I download them to my laptop to sideload?
Do you manage, while transfer via usb is available, to use Calibre and Alf to put books bought from Amazon onto a Libra 2?
After watching several videos, I really like the Libra 2, but I'm apprehensive after my experience with the Clara HD (this was a while ago, things may have changed.)
