My favorite Kindle alternative is $30 off after a recent price increase
我最喜欢的 Kindle 替代品在近期涨价后迎来了 30 美元的折扣
The waterproof Kobo Libra Colour offers physical page-turning buttons, stylus support, and a sharp color screen. 这款防水的 Kobo Libra Colour 电子阅读器配备了实体翻页键、手写笔支持以及清晰的彩色屏幕。
Kobo recently raised the price of its Libra Colour e-reader to $259.99, but today’s deal effectively erases that hike. The company, Best Buy, and Target, are all selling it for its old $229.99 price as part of broader sales, making now one of the best times to grab my favorite alternative to Amazon’s Kindle. Kobo 最近将其 Libra Colour 电子阅读器的价格上调至 259.99 美元，但今天的促销活动实际上抵消了这次涨价。作为大促活动的一部分，Kobo 官网、百思买 (Best Buy) 和塔吉特 (Target) 目前均以 229.99 美元的原价销售该产品，现在正是入手这款我最喜欢的 Kindle 替代品的最佳时机之一。
If you’re not heavily invested in Amazon’s ecosystem, I think the Kobo Libra Colour is a better buy than its closest Amazon rival, the $249.99 Kindle Colorsoft. It offers many of the same core features, including a sharp seven-inch color display that makes book covers, comics, and highlights pop with only slightly less vibrancy than the color Kindle. It’s also waterproof so you can rest easy at the beach, and features adjustable warm lighting for more comfortable nighttime reading. 如果你没有深度绑定亚马逊生态系统，我认为 Kobo Libra Colour 比它最直接的竞争对手——售价 249.99 美元的 Kindle Colorsoft 更值得购买。它提供了许多相同的核心功能，包括一块清晰的 7 英寸彩色显示屏，能让书籍封面、漫画和高亮标注呈现出色的视觉效果，其色彩鲜艳度仅比彩色 Kindle 稍逊一筹。此外，它还具备防水功能，让你在海滩使用时无需担心，并配有可调节的暖光灯，使夜间阅读更加舒适。
The Kobo also has a few advantages over Amazon’s e-reader. It supports EPUB and a broader range of file formats, making it easier to read books from a variety of sources, while offering twice as much storage (32GB). Unlike the Colorsoft, the Libra Colour includes physical page-turning buttons, which I find make for a more intuitive reading experience. It also supports Kobo’s optional Stylus 2, letting you annotate ebooks, jot down handwritten notes, use built-in notebook templates, and even convert your handwriting into typed text. Due to its size, I wouldn’t recommend it as a dedicated digital notebook over something bigger like the Kobo Elipsa 2E or Kindle Scribe, but it’s far more practical for quick notes than using your phone. It also works with Instapaper, making it easy to save web articles for offline reading. Kobo 在某些方面也优于亚马逊的电子阅读器。它支持 EPUB 及更多种类的文件格式，让你能更轻松地阅读来自不同来源的书籍，同时提供了两倍的存储空间（32GB）。与 Colorsoft 不同，Libra Colour 配备了实体翻页键，我认为这能带来更直观的阅读体验。它还支持 Kobo 的可选配件 Stylus 2 手写笔，让你能够为电子书添加批注、记录手写笔记、使用内置的笔记本模板，甚至将手写内容转换为打印文本。受限于尺寸，我不建议将其作为专门的数字笔记本使用（相比 Kobo Elipsa 2E 或 Kindle Scribe 等大尺寸设备），但对于快速记录笔记而言，它比手机实用得多。此外，它还兼容 Instapaper，可以轻松保存网页文章以供离线阅读。
