The Libra 2 is also a bit slower than the latest Kindles, as it uses an older processor, but OTOH it has a very good screen.
If you're in the US, you can use Overdrive with a Kindle as well, but not elsewhere, as far as I know.

I'm not in the US so if I wish to have Overdrive access, the Kobo devices win in that aspect. Is it easy to load all the plugins and utilities with the Kobo, as I see there are a lot of guides in the Kobo section? Now to choose between the Libra 2 and Clara2E.
Hope others can chime in with their thoughts too!
