I own a Libra Colour and I love it, however I can only recommend it for people who mostly read indoors with the front light on. Under direct sunlight light the screen is very dark, actually too dark to enjoy reading (at least for me), but indoors (or in the shade) with the light on it's great, it actually has a better contrast than my Oasis.

@piperclassique, as you're also coming from an Oasis I can give you a few more pointers from my experience. It's quite similar to the Oasis in terms of layout but it does feel a bit different; the buttons are more "clicky" and the device is overall thicker as it doesn't have the same lopsided design. The plastic body does feel less "premium", but on the other hand, this and the recessed screen makes me less worried to damage it; I'm more inclined to use it without a case and just leave it around the house, which is great because the color screen makes it almost feel like having a paperback lying around.
