This device is waterproof with an IPX8 rating, so it can be submerged in fresh water for up to 60 minutes and a depth of 2 meters. It has Bluetooth 5.1 in order to connect up a pair of headphones to listen to audiobooks. You will be able to connect up to the Kobo Bookstore, Overdrive and access Pocket via WIFI. It has USB-C to charge the device and has a respectable 1,500 mAH battery. Underneath the hood is a 1 GHZ single core processor, 512MB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. I have noticed with bright overhead light, you will get reflections on the screen and also under direct sun. I have often found that there are normally problems with using glass that is covering e-paper. The screen is protected by glass substrate, which protects the e-paper display. The e-reader screen is not completely flush with the bezel, there is a very small incline, a small dip. This one is built into it, which helps reduce costs. Traditionally, the capacitive touch technology is placed on top of the display module. The touchscreen is actually incorporated into the module stack. E Ink Carta 1200 modules consist of a TFT (thin film transistor), Ink layer and Protective Sheet. What exactly is this new e-paper technology? E Ink Carta 1200 delivers a 20% increase in response time over E Ink Carta 1000, and an improvement in the contrast ratio of 15%. The Libra 2 features a 7 inch E INK Carta 1200 display with a resolution of 1264×1680 with 300 PPI. It is only slightly more expensive than the Libra 2, by about $10 in Canada and the US. This device has a few major selling points, it has double the storage from the original Libra 1 and it is now possible to buy audiobooks from the Kobo bookstore and listen to them via wireless headphones or an external speaker, such as a Sonos sound bar. The Kobo Libra 2 is a brand new e-reader that has just become available in late October, 2021.
