What does bother me is the left-right lighting gradient, which is significantly worse on the Libra Colour than on my Kindles. The screen being quite dark pretty much requires the light to be on at all times when reading, so it is something to consider.

From what's been said by some owners, the Libra Colour needs about 20-30% light to match the Libra 2 with no light on. And because of the high % the light needs, the battery is not as good as that of the Libra 2. Overall, the Libra Colour has a worse battery (based on usage) and poor contrast because it's too dark.
