The Kobo Libra Colour is the graduation gift that won’t gather dust

Books aren’t always on your mind, whether you’re heading in or out of college. But having a device that can instantly access millions of books, comics, manga, and other literature is quite a game-changer. Sure, you can probably access everything from your phone or tablet, but the reading experience just isn’t the same when compared to an e-reader.

Not only are you going to get a screen that’s better for your eyes, but you also get a device that commands focus. There’s nothing additional about an e-reader — just you, the book, and maybe some tools to help you understand what you’re reading. Plus, the battery life goes unmatched, lasting up to a month in some cases.

You’ll need this going forward

If this sounds like something you’re looking for, we recommend picking up the Kobo Libra Colour. While it might not be as popular as Kindle, it’s going to be a better device. Sure, Amazon used to be one of the best, but a lot of consumers aren’t feeling the recent moves the company has been making.

The Libra Colour features a 7-inch E Ink touchscreen with color that produces crisp text, making reading easy on the eyes, while at the same time giving comics and manga new life. You can use the touchscreen to turn pages and navigate menus, but we think the physical buttons on the device do a better job.

If you’re someone that likes to jot down notes or highlight text in their books, you’ll be happy to know that the Kobo can handle that, and it even offers support for a stylus. In addition to the above, you get excellent battery life, with the Libra Colour lasting up to four weeks on a single charge. And charging is easy thanks to its USB-C port.

The Kobo Libra Colour is perfect for someone graduating from high school or college. It’s a dedicated device that’s perfect for reading all their favorites, and even discover some new ones. Best of all, the Libra Colour is down to its lowest price at $200.
