What’s battery life like? With the backlight on, full power

Color is super nice, but for an ereader, unless you read a lot of color comics etc, 1000% go with black and white for now. The color filter adds a bit of fuzziness and makes everything darker, which makes it harder to use without the light. And if you do read a lot of Comics, you're probably better off with a tablet or a larger color ereader. With 7" you will often have text that is tiny I imagine. I tried reading Berserk on my first gen Libre. And a lot of the images and texts was too small, having to zoom in which is kinda clunky, then move around is super annoying. You're better off getting something larger. 7" is fantastic for reading. I do wish there was a libre that was 8" .. I really enjoy the design etc. I just kinda want it to be the size of a larger hardcover book

Oh I can read fanfiction on it directly too!

Slow down and enunciate. I can't understand you.

Do you _have& to use kids mode on the kids kindle? (Or if you click out of it on kids kindle at any time ads appear?)

I love that if supported veve app

Thank you for comparing the Libra Color to an older Sony. That helps me personally, as I _was_ considering upgrading from a Sony PRS-T1. Hopefully Kobo will release a new Libra BW, as I like that form factor. (btw, you might want to disable auto white balance in future videos)

Why the screen goes black and white? is this normal? Thank you

Colour e-ink baffles me - why pay so much more for lower quality pictures with lower quality colour than a tablet? You arent watching videos or playing games. If you're an adult, you probably aren't reading illustrated novellas. If its just for coloured covera, you're a sucker.

Wait until apps don't support Android 12 anymore 🤣. Boox don't ever upgrade the OS to new version.

Libra Color has unven cold lighting

Shinzou wo sasageyo.

Good review. I am waiting for the white model to be released.

Love the text to voice, but can you connect Bluetooth headphones? Also, with the physical buttons, can you disable the touch screen like you can on the Kindle Oasis?

Can the Store shortcut on the homepage be remapped?

8:31 latency seems OK, it is not as responsive as Apple Pencil 2, no ? Does anyone know ? Thanks.

How do you lock the screen preventing accidental page jump?

I got the Kobo 2 weeks back, while its a pretty neat device especially on the reading segment, the lacks of flexibility just kinda annoying (I have 2 boox devices, so...). Gonna grab this Color 7 and see how much it lacking vs Kobo in the reading segment. If not overly huge, I might keep the Boox and sell the Kobo

Nice device, but I think that the contrast has margin of improvement yet. I can wait for a couple of generations more to buy it. And also, I hope the price will drop with time too.

The one you linked to cost £880 ! You are joking obviously, I can buy a good used Car for that kind of money......crazy.

Can you connect to the Kindle / amazon account to purchase books?

Honestly, I don't like the colour model. Screen is too dark for me. Gives the appearance it's covered in soot or something.

You actually can put library books on the kids kindle. It’s just a really weird process to find them.

I got this ereader and love it. Compared it with my b&w Libra and the text was less contrasty. Which I find a good thing. Nice and soft. Reading much more since I have this Libra Colour.

Can I read on web browser smoothly?

Still, no send via email sideloading feature...

The best comparison end of story. Newer reviews go into stuff that isn’t as useful such as screen size etc

Configuration not customization. Customization involves coding. Configuration involves using existing functionality to tailor the experience.

Boox is the same as all other software and hardware made in China: bloated and clumsy.

The big one is Libby on kobo in Canada.

wow that Hollow Places book cover looks nothing like the blue colored one the Boox shows you. It's like a TV showroom turning on motion smoothing and vivid color to sell you a TV. I know you can turn those options off but it's disappointing they're all enabled by default, especially if it affects text rendering too.

It seems like using Calibre and the native reading program is better than using the Kindle app. I am waiting for the white model to be released.

I have both the Boox Tab Mini C and the new Boox Go Color 7. My Tab Mini C is amazing, the font in its Kindle app is easily read and nice dark letters. But I decided to get the Boox Go 7 because it was lighter to hold and had the page turn buttons. I immediately saw the Go's font in Kindle was so washed out even though the font in books offered by Boox was fine. Not really understanding that. I finally turned the color and brightness setting to max for Kindle and for some reason it did make the Kindle font slightly more readable but book cover images then are horrible so it's a sacrifice.. overall I have to admit I've been very disappointed in the Boox Go 7 compared to my Boox Tab Mini C (which I really love). So I'll just accept my Tab Mini C being heavier since it looks amazing on web pages for reading and images plus the Kindle font is way better. You're the only one I've seen address the Kindle font issues. So thank you, I thought I got a bad one for awhile.

What is the battery life? Does the boox also need the backlight on because of it also having the Kaleido screens?

Bottom line is the kobo is a dedicated ereader and the boox is a tablet and as a tablet is a step down from the iPad or any other legit tablet. I don’t want a tablet for an ereader. The whole point of an ereader is distraction free reading. If you want color and apps use a freaking iPad. If you want an ereader for reading the kobo is wonderful for annotating, note taking on your books, etc.

Colour screens are already darker than the BW screen. And the Boox C extra layer on top only makes it worse. I prefer the Kobo Libra Colour.

Boox company is violator of GPL license, they were so on top of their head they don't address this anymore. What a unethical piece of shite is and some are promoting the same

Thanks, I was waiting for this comparative

I love my libra color!!

This Boox definitely >>>>>>>>>> Kobo Libra Colour

Amazing video! Thank you so much for making it!

I heard the white/gray version of the Go Color 7 is a sunken screen. It would have been the better comparison

Can you force greyscale mode on the kobo in the dev options?

The page turn buttons not working on the Kindle app is a deal breaker.

I'd love to a comparison between Go 7 and Tab Mini C.

Thanks for the comparisons. How is holding in the hand? Does the roundness and curve make the Kobo more comfortable to hold, or is pretty negligible?

Hello, I would like to ask your opinion about using this device for medical ebooks with surgical pictures and similar. Would this model be a good option? Thanks

I bought it and now I am very very sorry. I hate it. Nobody mentions one important thing: every time I turn the page, the screen takes a long time (maybe thinking?), then it flashes and goes completely black, and only then does it sloooooowly show the next page. You can't look inside the book or flip through it. It's a disaster. If you're a researcher, it's no good. I had a Kobo an I liked it. Later I bought a Nova 3 , not bad. My opinion? No, do not buy a Kindle Scribe. And more: it is expensive.

kobo is much better sadly it's not available locally at my country
