The short of it is, the new default serif font looks much less saturated than the old one on screen, and the only way to properly compare an L2 and LC side by side, is by making sure you have the same font *and* the same font darkness setting by copying it from the conf file.
Edit: Sure seems like it would have been a good time to add the popular Charis SIL or Char-Ink fonts....

I just got mine!
Yes, all the critics are true. And all the people who like their new Kobo Colour are also honest.
I looked for a brief moment at my Paperwhite to see where I was in the book I'm reading, so I can synch it manually with the Kobo Libra Colour. Yeah, the fonts are blacker, crispier and whatever. But the book also looks great on the Kobo. It's not worst or better, it's just different. I will not spend much time comparing. I think this is the best way to learn to like it.
One thing I like very much is that the Libra Colour is lighter.
