Kobo Libra Colour for note taking and comics/manga? (lemm.ee)

Looking to trade my Scribe in for a KLC, was wondering if anyone had experience with both. I like the size of the scribe, but I don’t care much for the screen. I had an Oasis before this and I never liked the screen on that either. I have a hard time getting the settings to look right, and something about the fonts just doesn’t look right. My partner’s paperwhite always looked much better.

Main uses are reading, note taking, and manga/comic reading. Intrigued by the color aspect, but worried about the screen crispness.

How do you like the Remarkable Paper Pro? I have a Supernote A5X and I love the ceramic nib. Between that and Remarkable pulling their stupid rent-seeking subscription service a while ago (which they have since pulled back to a much less offensive model), I have been a Supernote fanboy. But that Paper Pro looks pretty special.

Overall it is a fantastic device, good enough that I use it despite hating their stupid subscription model. I take work notes in it all day long and it has proven to be excellent for that.

I also use it to read for a book club I run, and the PDF markup tools are pretty nice. Color highlights are cool and they will stick to the text of the pdf to be perfectly straight which makes me happy.

I have a Supernote Manta coming this week though which may replace it. The Supernote pen is just way better.

Ugh. Giving up the pen is literally the biggest thing. Plus I feel like the general consensus is that the Supernote is, indeed, For Those Who Write. Would you agree that the Remarkable is less designed around the sort of daily note-taker workflow?

Maybe that big shiny color screen will become commoditized enough that Supernote will have a model in a year or two…

I don’t think I’d agree that the remarkable is less “for those who write” than the Supernote.

I switched from my Nomad to the Paper Pro simply because the Nomad was too small for the notes that I write and Supernote wasn’t selling something comparable.

I think they have different priorities maybe and supernotes business model is way better, but they’re both good for writing.
