"Amazon's Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition might be heavily discounted for Black Friday, but we'd argue that the Kobo Libra Colour is actually the better option for those not already embedded in the Amazon ecosystem. It offers more features for slightly less - and right now, the color e-reader has returned to its all-time low of $199.99 ($30 off) at Amazon, Target, and Kobo's online storefront."
"Somewhat surprisingly, the Kobo Libra Color offers some genuinely helpful features you won't find on the Colorsoft. The color ebook reader features intuitive, physical page-turn buttons and compatibility with the Kobo Stylus 2, so you can jot down notes while reading. It also includes built-in notebook templates for journaling and can even convert handwriting to typed text (or solve math equations), meaning you can use it as both an e-reader and a small notebook."
"The e-reader also supports a much wider range of file formats than the Colorsoft, including EPUB files, and you can save articles offline with Instapaper. The only real downside is that it doesn't natively support Kindle books. If you're willing to put in a little extra time, though, it is possible to convert your Kindle library."
Kobo Libra Colour is a 7-inch color e-reader with a 300ppi e-ink display that drops to 150ppi for color content. The color rendering is warm and bright though slightly less vivid than the Kindle Colorsoft, and an adjustable natural light slider improves readability. The device is waterproof and includes 32GB of storage for books and audiobooks. Physical page-turn buttons, compatibility with the Kobo Stylus 2, notebook templates, and handwriting-to-text conversion (including math solving) enable note-taking and journaling. The Libra Colour supports many file formats including EPUB and Instapaper offline saves but lacks native Kindle book support.
