Is the Kobo Libra Colour worth it?

Short answer: the Kobo Libra Colour is worth it at about $180–$230 new if you want color E Ink, page-turn buttons, and optional notebook/annotation features. If you mostly read plain novels, a black-and-white model like the Kobo Clara BW is usually the better value at about $120–$140 new. The Kindle Paperwhite is typically about $150–$180 new and is the best pick if you’re already deep in Amazon’s ecosystem.

For the Libra Colour specifically, I’d call it a good buy around $180–$200 and a skip if it’s over about $230 unless it includes a stylus or other bundle value. Prices move around a lot, so it’s worth checking current listings and sold/completed prices before you buy.

Best quick verdict: buy the Libra Colour for color reading and notes; buy a cheaper black-and-white reader if you only want text novels.
