The Rakuten Kobo Libra Colour is shipping now, and this device has lots to be excited about. It employs the latest generation of E INK Kaleido 3 e-paper. What are the major selling points? It can take notes and write on books with an optional Kobo Pencil 2. The colour filter array is at the top of the stack and has a hollow screen, so the colour accuracy is better than most other devices on the market. By its nature, Kaleido 3 screens have grey screens that are darker than pure black and white e-readers, so Kobo increased the battery life by 35% since you will always want to have the front light on to get the best experience. Read books, listen to audiobooks, draw, this has it all. Check out the product on Amazon, it is retailing for USD 219.99.

This is a pure e-reader with a black-and-white display. You can buy and read books, sideload stuff in many different formats or buy audiobooks! You can buy it from Amazon today for USD 129.99.
The Kobo page has the latest e-readers, including Elipsa 2e, Sage, Nia, and even older models.
