As much as we love ebook readers such as Amazon's best Kindles and Kobo's Clara, there's one thing they don't do: colour. And while colour e-ink has been around for some time, it hasn't made it into mainstream ebook devices. Or at least, it hasn't until now. The new Kobo Libra Colour and Kobo Clara Colour, which are available for pre-order from today (10 April 2024), have colour e-ink displays.
The two models differ in three key ways. The Libra is a seven-inch model, has 32GB of storage and works with the Kobo Stylus 2 for annotating and jotting down notes, and the Clara is six inches, has 16GB, and doesn't. But they both have what Kobo calls a Kaleido 3 touchscreen, and that's the fun bit.
