Kobo Libra Colour E-reader Discounted Following Price Increase
Kobo has reduced the price of its Libra Colour e-reader by $30, effectively reversing a recent price hike. The device is now available at its previous price point from major retailers.
Rakuten Kobo is offering its Libra Colour e-reader at a discounted price, returning it to its former $229.99 price point. This sale comes shortly after the device's official price was increased to $259.99.
The sale is available directly from Kobo, as well as through retailers such as Best Buy and Target. This temporary price reduction presents an opportunity for consumers considering an alternative to Amazon's Kindle e-readers.
The Kobo Libra Colour features a seven-inch color display designed for displaying book covers and images with vibrancy. It is also waterproof and includes adjustable warm lighting for comfortable reading in various conditions.
Compared to Amazon's Kindle, the Kobo Libra Colour supports EPUB and a wider range of file formats, offering 32GB of storage. The device includes physical page-turning buttons and supports the Kobo Stylus 2 for note-taking directly within ebooks. It also integrates with Instapaper for saving web articles.
