Cobo – Brand behind some of the best ereaders available – don’t sit still. Nearly six months after launching a productivity-oriented Cobo-oriented Cobo, there are now two more conflicts that join the ranks. The company has just announced that Kobo Sage and Kobo Libra 2 are now available to order in advance directly from the maker, and will be on the shelf starting October 19.
Sage and Libra 2 follow in the footsteps of the Kobo Forma and Kobo Libra H2O, and seem to show that the asymmetrical design introduced to their ancestors has become the winner for Kobo. We are generally big fans, because that means there is a great area that is good to hold and hold, without the risk of hiding the screen accidentally.
They are the first Cobo Ereladers who come with Bluetooth support, which means Kobo fans will finally be able to pair a set of wireless headphones with the device to listen to audio books.
This feature is available in Kindles for a while now, so it’s nice to see Kobo finally chasing Amazon. The Cobo has also updated the USB port on its new device, finally removing the Nursing Micro-B socket for USB-C for charging batteries and transferring files.
With the addition of Bluetooth, the new Libra 2 Kobo will be a much better alternative to the Amazon Kindle Oasis than the first genes of Libra H2O, especially because the new version is now equipped with 32GB storage that loses.
Everything we love about Kobo Libra H2O has been brought to Libra 2, including a 7-inch ink screen with a resolution of 300ppi, asymmetrical design and IPX8 certification for waterproofing.
The price of $ 179.99 / £ 159.99 / au $ 279.99 when launched, Libra 2 only $ 10 / £ 10 / au $ 30 more than the price of the launch of Libra H2O, and much cheaper than 8GB of oasis’s kindle ‘$ 249, 99 / £ 229 / £ $ 399 / £ marking.
Read, write, and listen
The new Kobo Sage also boasts a large industry first, being the first major direction that comes with stylus support – although not like a larger election, the Stylus Kobo will not be included as a standard wisely; Need to be purchased separately.
Our main complaint with elipses is that the 10.3-inch ereader is too heavy to be written when used handheld, it is necessary on the table for a comfortable writing experience. As an 8-inch option with asymmetrical shape, Kobo Sage can be much easier to handle with a stylus for anyone who likes to take notes when they read.
Stylus is not the only accessory to set the Kobo Sage Apart – there is a new brand-powercover that can be purchased separately that will charge your device when you travel. This is basically a magnetic sleepcover with a built-in battery, which sounds like a useful accessory because the Cobo Sage has a 1,200mAh battery as opposed to the option of 1,500mAh Libra 2.
And besides a larger screen (8 inches compared to Libra 2 7 inches), all the others about two new Kobo ereaders are almost the same. Sage is also equipped with 32GB of internal storage, Bluetooth connectivity, and IPX8 certification which makes it waterproof up to 60 minutes in two water meters.
The difference, however, makes wise people much more expensive than Libra 2, launched with a label price of $ 259.99 / £ 249.99 / au $ 439.95. If you want to add a Cobo Stylus and PowerCover, then each of you see $ 39.99 / £ 39.99 / au $ 69.95 and $ 69.99 / au $ 129.99 respectively.
