Kobo Libra Colour review: The obvious upgrade to the Kindle Oasis

Quick Summary:

After five years of using the Kindle Oasis, I finally found an e-reader that's better — this is the Kobo Libra Colour.

That's less than what I got with the Kindle Oasis (back when it's battery didn't degrade), but the color E Ink panel needs more power, and the convenience of charging over USB-C more than offsets any issues around battery longevity.

So if you're looking to get the Libra Colour to read comics, know that it still does a decent job in this area as it integrates the CBZ and CBR extensions, but color quality won't be anywhere as good as an Android tablet like the Xiaomi Pad 7.
