![]() ![]() Japanese mega-retailer Rakuten produces the Kobo Libra H2O. (Though you can convert that library using the free application Calibre and transfer it over relatively easily.) There is no Whispersync to keep your reading place synced across devices, and you cannot download your whole Amazon library with a tap. ![]() No Amazon integration is likely the most notable feature (or flaw) of Kobo’s new 7-inch ereader.įeels cheaper, and the lack of Amazon support will be a bummer for Amazon fans. Now here is where I’m going to apologise: a lot of this review is comparing the Kobo Libra H20 to the just-launched third-generation Kindle Oasis. Best of all, at $US170 ($252), it’s around $150 less than the comparable Kindle Oasis (without special offers).Įditor’s Note: There is currently no Australian pricing available for the Kobo Libra H2O. ![]() This asymmetrical ereader will give you deja vu if you’ve been coveting the pricey Kindle Oasis. The new Kobo Libra H2O is a great example. But other companies make great ereaders that are worth considering if you’re a bookworm. Sure, Amazon has a huge chunk of the market for ebooks, and its ereaders sync seamlessly with Amazon’s services creating an addictive and difficult-to-escape ecosystem.

Review from same people, comparing oasis to libra h2o. Onyx boox poke 3 review (includes links to both unboxing and review) + Priceing is pretty much around the same or close to the other two which is a huge boon (my interpretation is that you're buying most likely for the long term rather than picking up a new one every year) + Powerhouse and most likely stable for the upcoming 3-5 years (the other two, libra and oasis seem dated when compared to this) + Pretty much all formats that the kobo allows (you can download apps to have full access to both kobo library and kindle/Amazon's library. *I've noticed some people move around a lot while reading, sometimes on the floor, in bed, on the sofa etc. + Lighter (less wrist strain which allows for longer reading sessions and different reading positions*) missing side buttons for fast scrolling pages. The Poke 3 is "only" 6 inch (compared to oasis and libra h2o, both 7 inch). However I've now been eyeing the upcoming release of the Onyx Boox Poke 3 (to be released November 23rd).
