Key points

1) colors are cool
2) they immediately noticed a color lattice over the screen causing a sort of rainbow effect that goes away once they're concentrating on the text
3) worse contrast and clarity than Libra 2
4) any time there's any color on screen the device resolution seems to take a hit

Of course these are their subjective impressions. YMMV

Interesting review and more aligned with what I would expected. Expected, but would have liked to have been wrong.
I need to remind myself, that apart from looking at the book covers on the home screen 99% of what I do with my Aura One book reader is spent reading books........and that is in B&W. So, it would seem somewhat pointless me considering a colour Libra 2.

We did think of one of the colour Libra's for general use, around cookbooks etc, as they often have illustrations in them.

The Kobo Libra 2 (B/W) is sold out at Kobo (UK).
