Would a Libra H20 Meet These Needs?

I have an iPad so I can continue to use this for PDFs.

Thanks as this has helped me realise that I asking a lot of a budget ereader.

The libra + Calibre + KoboUtilies is brilliant.

Also the page turn buttons are a must when using the Libra to read out loud or narrate a book. I use a €4 paperback/cookery book stand for that.

I'm after an e-reader for reading in bed. The main things I want to read on it are novels, but also work-related papers, PDFs, and textbooks. I have an iPad but I look at a screen all day so a dedicated device may be kinder to me and help avoid distractions.
Sometimes there are colours within my work-related reading but it's predominantly text.
Would I have to do any annoying zooming, pinching, panning hand motions to read across a line or is text automatically displayed optimally? Are settings generally intuitive or easy to change for optimal display?
To summarise: would a Libra H20 work well for reading textbooks and PDFs / academic papers or should I be looking at something else?

Hi, i’m a student and I bought a kobo libra for reading novels and PDF for school.

Its true that 10Â*" readers are optimized for PDF, but they are way too expensive and not practical for novels.

I found the kobo libra perfect for novels, and adequate for my pdf! A bit small, but I like it anyways

The fact that letters are a bit small is nothing, negligeable, compared to the satisfaction of reading on the kobo libra with its aesthetic eink screen appearance. I found that it also helped me with my focus!


When in landscape mode, you can read like half a page of a PDF, and each time you press on the button, it goes from the half top of the page to the half bottom, then to next top half.. it works well

You can also crop the margins of the PDF before downloading them to your ereader, so that it appears a bit bigger! Cause its not convenient when you need to zoom in and out!
