    I have had it for a month, I have used it both in the dark and in full sunlight. It has fantastic clarity and is easy on the eyes. Extremely convenient and light in the hand with the page-turn buttons. Also, the ability to import books and PDFs by connecting to Google Drive is very convenient, for files and books beyond the Rakuten app.

    This review is about the colour: White

    Lightweight with a comfortable screen. Perfect size and nice color rendering (for e-ink always).

    You can also load books that you buy outside the Kobo Store, e.g. from other publishers who sell DRM-free ebooks, even from sources like the legendary Project Gutenberg (free books in the public domain) and the Greek Openbook. I have thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Very good. It has very good quality. It doesn't stick at all. It doesn't strain at all while reading and is quite light. I have also bought the stylus which helps a lot especially if you like to take notes. The battery is very good. I bought it in August and have only charged it 2-3 times. Compared to the pocket one I have seen, it is much better and of higher quality. It's worth every euro for me. Be careful if you want to get a case and have a stylus to check if it can fit the stylus inside because the one I have doesn't fit and I have it outside with the fear of losing it even though it is magnetic.

    This review is about the colour: White

    Simply amazing

    The screen and colors are very nice, the buttons and the size of the device are very convenient. Very lightweight and you can hold it with one hand.

    Compared to the Kobo Clara Color, it has a slightly larger screen, buttons to turn pages, but it also supports a stylus and has notebooks for notes. Okay, the writing feel is worse than Remarkable and Super Note, but better than tablets. Personally, I got the Metapen 2 which was on sale and half the price of the Kobo and does the same job.

    If you like to take notes and highlight with colors in books, then get it with your eyes closed.

    I would give it 5* if I didn't need the extra stylus and if it supported Greek. Otherwise, it's a click better than the Libra H2O that I already have: very positive aspects are the black screen, the colors, and the bluetooth

    This review is about the colour: White

    Everything is ok, battery size, speed. In larger texts, I simply turn it horizontally and they are much easier to read. For reading books, the size is ideal (if we want PDFs, then maybe a larger one would be better).
    It needs a case right away because it easily gets scratched, which doesn't affect its functionality but it's a shame. It also has a slight difficulty with annotations, but with a little patience, you can select the desired text.
    In PDFs, you can't highlight specific quotes, you will need a touch pen to be able to make notes, which I don't have.
