I like it. It has a more gray screen, due to the colour layer. Up close you can see the stippling. I don't mind the darker screen, for my eyes it's better. I'm very sensitive to light when it comes to devices. I hardly ever have the lighting up high. With my Paperwhite Signature Edition, especially at night, I always had trouble finding the right balance between brightness and contrast. It always felt it was either too bright or I was squinting because the contrast was too low. With the Libra Colour I haven't had this problem, mind you, I've only used it for a day and a half so far.
I thought I would miss the auto brightness of the Kindle, but adjusting the lighting is so easy. Plus, I was forever going into the brightness menu on the Kindle to adjust it. The swiping on the Kobo just works better for me.
I got the clear back cover and the pen to go with it. I used to take notes, but I stopped because the lag of the Kindle keyboard was annoying. I'm hoping to get back into highlighting and taking notes.
From Etsy I ordered a zippered case and more decorations to put between the back of the Kobo and the case.
