TL;DR
- Kobo quietly updated the Libra Colour with a larger 2,300mAh battery.
- The rest of the hardware remains unchanged, including the 7-inch Kaleido 3 display, stylus support, and page turn buttons.
- The boosted battery helps reduce one of color e-ink’s biggest trade-offs.
Kobo shoppers may be in for a meaningful upgrade if there’s a Libra Colour in their carts. The company just quietly gave the already-popular device a larger 2,300mAh battery. The change, reported earlier this week by Good e-Reader, brings a welcome boost to endurance and should translate to nearly an extra week of reading time. It’s a small tweak on paper, but for anyone who’s eyed color e-ink with skepticism over battery drain, it could improve the day-to-day experience.
