I may end up keeping the one that's coming in the mail. I can afford the higher price, I just was beating myself up about have the stylus ability, when to be honest, with my tremor, I can hardly sign my name on paper, let along a screen. And I have no real artistic ability, don't make note in my books etc.

I like the buttons on top, but don't even need that. Is this buyers remorse
Well, one never needs to use a feature just because it is there. I have a Kobo Sage and while I do have both an official stylus and a third-party cheap one, I don't use them terribly often.

What *is* very nice, over the smaller Clara model, is that with the Libra Colour, you get Dropbox and Google Drive access natively. Built-in, out of the box ready. And that is so VERY useful for sideloading content without getting out a USB cable. It is a feature I personally use all the time.

The capability can be added to a Clara device via Nickel Menu and a bit of fiddling, but that might be more than you want to fuss with to have it.

And I truly doubt you'll find any Kobo devices at Walmart. They weren't thick on the ground even when the Kobo/Walmart association was active. My local store put up a display, but never hooked it up to electricity. The display didn't last long before they pulled it out.

So, yeah, you could "see" a Kobo device, and put your hands on one, but it wasn't, in any way, active. Just the case and a blank e-ink screen, LOL!
