I used the Kindle Oasis for nearly five years, but I was disappointed with the absence of a new model featuring USB-C charging. That’s why I opted for Kobo’s Libra Colour at the beginning of 2025; this e-reader incorporates the newest E Ink Kaleido 3 technology, boasts a lightweight construction that makes it pleasant to hold, and allows for easy reading of comics due to its color E Ink display.
Most importantly, it includes physical page-turn buttons — an essential feature for any decent e-reader — and it charges through USB-C. I’ve read numerous books on the Libra Colour over the past six months, and it stands out as the perfect upgrade from the Kindle Oasis. The e-reader typically retails for $249, but it is currently available for $209 on Amazon, making it a fantastic deal.
