Amazon's first color Kindle with a 7-inch high-contrast display and almost true-to-life colors. Its Page Color feature inverts black text and white background pages within books. It's also possible to highlight text in different colors. A single USB-C charge lasts up to 8 weeks (meaning the color display doesn't affect battery life). The e-reader can be charged using a wireless dock (sold separately). The glare-free display and automatically adjusting backlighting allow to read in bright sunlight and late at night. The waterproof case is made from recycled materials. The e-reader is ideal for reading comics and children's books (you can create separate children's profiles).

Kobo Libra Color features a 7-inch E Ink Kaleido 3 color display with an anti-glare coating. It beautifully displays book covers, comics, graphic novels, illustrations and notes. At night the ComfortLight PRO feature automatically reduces blue light levels. The device has an ergonomic, water-proof case with page-turn buttons. The screen can be used in landscape orientation. The e-reader is compatible with the Kobo Stylus 2 stylus (sold separately) and allows you to make colored notes on the surface of books. The device can be also used as a journal or daily planner. Notebooks are synced via the Kobo cloud, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
