I went to the nearest Chapters store over a week ago and bought a Kobo Libra 2 in white while they were still available. Almost changed my mind a few days later and returned it for a Libra Colour, but discussions on this forum, and images comparing the Libra Colour screen with the Libra 2 screen made me nervous that the Libra Colour might not be optimal for reading. Thanks, everyone, who took the time to do that!
I can understand the appeal of colour for readers of Manga and comics and illustrated material on the new colour Kobos. But for me, a good crisp screen is what matters.
I too can't fathom why Kobo would discontinue the Libra 2 and not replace it with a similar e-reader. Perhaps they need to reach sales targets with the new Libra colour?
