Compare the Kobo Libra 2 with the Kobo Libra H2O

With a 7-inch Full-HD touchscreen and a handle with physical buttons, the Libra 2 looks a lot like its predecessor. The main differences are the USB-C connector and the wider bezels. This makes the Libra 2 slightly bigger, but the compact e-reader still easily fits in your bag. Just like the Libra H2O, the casing is waterproof. That means you can easily use it in the bath or at the pool.

The Kobo Libra H2O is a compact e-reader with an ergonomic design. Thanks to the ergonomic handle, you can comfortably hold the e-reader for a long period of time. There are physical buttons built into the handle, so you can easily flip the pages or navigate through the menu. If you have an accident with water, you don't have to worry. The Libra H2O is water-resistant. Via the micro USB, you can charge your device and install books on the e-reader from your computer.

The Libra 2 has a Carta 1200 screen. This type of screen responds 25% faster than other screens. It also has a higher contrast ratio and supports a black screen with white letters. This ensures that your e-books are always clearly readable, especially with the ComfortLight PRO screen technology. Kobo has increased the storage capacity quite a lot to 32GB. That's necessary, because the e-reader now also supports audio books thanks to the built-in Bluetooth module. An average audio book takes up a lot more storage space than an average e-book.

With the Libra H2O, you can read comfortably wherever you are. The 7-inch screen with Full HD resolution displays the letters razor-sharp. The ComfortLight PRO screen technology automatically adjusts the brightness and color temperature of the screen based on the ambient light. As a result, the screen is easy on the eyes and you can fall asleep more easily at night. The 8GB storage of the Kobo Libra H2O has room for over 6000 e-books with a standard format.
