Is worth upgrade from Kobo Glo HD to Libra h2o?

Shirubyo14 · 10-21-2021, 08:58 AM

Hello, I bought an used Kobo Glo HD last year (for 50 euros) and upgraded sd card to 32 GB, is worth upgrade from this to Kobo Libra h2o? (170 euros new, around 120 for an used one). I'm considering it for 7" screen, screen rotation and comfortLight, but also I saw a lot of bad comments about screen illumination.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Not. It is much more reasonable to switch to Kobo Libra 2.

I would use your own judgement, looking at the specs. Do you want a larger screen, the ergonomics, ...?

I have a Glo HD, and tried larger screen ereaders (Forma and H2O), and kept the Glo HD.

The Glo HD has a very good screen by the way, probably due to the fact that it uses an IR sensor (and not a capacitive one). But there are no such devices now, IR no longer being installed.

The new Libra has a better screen than the old Libra. But the old Libra weighs less and is arguably more ergonomic. So you have to decide which of those is more important to you.
