![]() ( May 2021)Īll Kobo e-readers share a unique pagination system giving users the option to either count and reference pages separately within each chapter or in the book as a whole. ![]() This section needs expansion with: The expansion of the contents of each subsection.

Like most e-readers, the Kobo uses an electronic ink screen. The original version was released in May 2010 and was marketed as a minimalist alternative to the more expensive e-book readers available at the time. The company's name is an anagram of "book". The Kobo eReader is an e-reader produced by Toronto-based Kobo Inc (a subsidiary of Rakuten). So, I bought a cheap cover on amazon and the beating stopped lol.Kobo Aura, Kobo's former baseline e-reader I didn't use a cover on my Aura h20 either for at least the first 6 months, and due to being in my briefcase with lots of other papers and stuff actually caused a bunch of scuff marks and tiny scratches around the screen that I really can't stand. Others might have a better grip.Īnother choice factor not mentioned here is that the Libra screen is crisper - probably a difference between plastic and glass. That might be due to my very dry and very arthritic hands. ![]() ![]() So I read with a covered Libra: total Libra weight 234 g, heavier than the naked Forma. Personally, I'm not comfortable holding a naked Libra with its slippery plastic back as I have done systematically with the Forma with its slightly rubbery back. Despite having them take some falls on to both carpeted and wooden floors. But I personally never really worried about breaking the substrate on any ereader I've owned. Yes the plastic substrate is nice, and I worry less about it breaking. I've also only had one ereader break on me, and it was one of the NST line maybe the NSTG? but that was due to the battery going bad not the screen. I never used one with my Aura H2O edition 1, or Aura One, and I only used the sleep cover I bought for my Forma for a little it proved to be of little use to me and once Kobo added the ability to have screensavers of whatever image we wanted it was relegated to a shelf somewhere. I'd question "reasonable person", until the Forma I only used a case for a Nook and that was a silicon shell which really just made it a bit easier to hold (better grip), and added a smidge of shock absorption though not much. So in practice the Forma is not only bigger and more resilient, but it can feel significantly lighter (since it can be used without a cover). In addition, because of the flexible substrate, a reasonable person could read the Forma without having it always in a rigid cover, whereas I'd never recommend that with a glass-substrate reader like the Libra. The Forma weights 197 grams, the Libra 192 grams - almost an imperceptible difference in weight. The Forma has a flexible substrate, meaning it is more drop-resistant and much lighter for its size.
