Ultimately, it seems like the choice of whether to get the cover depends on whether the user prefers to have the display be exposed even when not in use.The next-generation Kobo Libra 2 is the embodiment of your reading style. Also, as the devices tend to be held in hand for reading, there aren’t many situations where the foldable front cover is useful, though some readers may find it helpful for their preferred way of reading. The waking and sleeping feature is convenient and does save battery life, but the difference is not one that is drastic. With the SleepCover, not only can it wake the device when opened and put it to sleep automatically, there is a foldable front cover that can keep the device standing upright. However, given that both devices have battery lives that can last about a week with moderate to heavy reading, the extra heft of the PowerCover may not be as appealing. The PowerCover has a built-in battery to charge up the Kobo Sage on the go, and also a slot to hold the Kobo Stylus, but it does not charge the stylus pen. Other accessories include the PowerCover for the Kobo Sage, and the SleepCover for the Kobo Libra 2. It replicates the feeling of annotating on a physical book well, and it is a welcome feature for those who are avid note-takers but find the act of actually annotating a physical book borderline sacrilegious. The Kobo Stylus works well on the Kobo Sage, as it makes leaving handwritten notes and highlighting certain passages fuss-free. The question then, is which e-reader, and why? As such, e-readers are definitely worth considering for voracious readers. Not only that, the ability to tap on a word and instantly find out its meaning, and even add them to an easily accessible list makes expanding one’s vocabulary effortless. This is clearly noticeable over long reading sessions.

Also, to readers who treat beautifully designed physical books as decorative pieces on a shelf, e-books that cannot be physically damaged can easily become the preferred medium for actual reading.Īlso, the e-ink displays of e-readers make for a vastly superior reading experience compared to reading on a phone, tablet, or laptop, because they don’t emit light directly into the user’s eyes, but instead emulate the properties of actual paper.

E-readers have become a staple of many avid readers, and even physical book purists have to admit that there are conveniences afforded by being able to easily carry thousands of pages worth of reading material around in one small device.
