This is my first Kobo or ereader of any type. I just love it! I was using my pro max iPhone to read books up to this point. I would have preferred a 7鈥 screen which the Libre Colour comes in but it has the side bar for page turning which adds to the size and weight. My arm was getting really sore from holding my phone to read and this Kobo is perfect! It鈥檚 so light and big enough to read but also small enough to carry around easily.
