Kobo Libra is the embodiment of your reading style. With more storage, a faster E Ink screen, and Bluetooth wireless technology so you can listen to Kobo Audiobooks, Kobo Libra is an integral part of your rich reading life. Packed with features and personality and storage for all of your eBooks Kobo Libra was made to do more. An ergonomic design keeps your reading life on hand and page turn buttons keep the story going while you sip your coffee, stir your signature pasta sauce, or nurse your newborn so you can read on and on, no matter what.

Kobo Sage is the most accomplished eReader ever. Designed to inspire you with every read, Kobo Sage delivers every feature Kobo offers in one sleek package, plus Bluetooth so you can listen to Kobo Audiobooks. The luxurious 8" HD flush E Ink Carta 1200 touchscreen delivers superior performance and depth of contrast, with zero glare.
If Kobo Libra and Kobo Sage were interstellar cousins at a galactic book club, they’d bond over their shared love of E Ink Carta 1200 displays, which make every word look so crisp you’d think it had been hand-chiseled by monks on a mountaintop. Both are avid audiobook listeners too, thanks to their Bluetooth abilities and neither has ever been caught without their adjustable color temperature for cozy bedtime reading. Oh and they can both survive a dip in the bathtub—an odd but useful party trick for an eReader.
Kobo Libra, meanwhile, prides itself on being the pocket-sized overachiever of the family. With a 7-inch display and a weight so light it might float away if you’re not careful, it’s perfect for readers who want to carry their library around without feeling like they’re hauling a stone tablet. Its battery life is so good, it’s almost smug about it. Built in Japan, it’s a masterclass in efficient design, aimed squarely at casual readers who like their tech affordable and uncomplicated.
Kobo Sage, however, sees itself as the sophisticated one. With its luxurious 8-inch display and ability to use a stylus for jotting down earth-shattering thoughts, it’s clearly aiming for power users who consider themselves intellectuals (or at least want to look like them). Its ComfortLight PRO ensures that your brain remains blissfully unaware of blue light as you read late into the night. While it may not last as long on a single charge, it more than makes up for it by being unapologetically feature-packed, making it the perfect companion for the modern-day bookish adventurer.
