The main reason is that I wanted a slightly bigger device with Comfort Light and physical page-turn buttons. I thought about getting a Kindle Oasis but could not justify the price, so I went for a Kobo Libra H2O instead. Although the device does not feel as premium as a Kindle Oasis (Plastic vs Aluminium), it's an absolute joy to use, very light and super comfortable to hold in the hand. If you are invested in the desertcart ecosystem and have most of your e-books from them, you are likely better off with a Kindle, although there are ways to "export" your desertcart books and sideload them to Kobo (which I did). The process isn't straightforward so I wouldn't recommend it unless you are tech-savvy and like this sort of things. That said, the experience with Kobo is very similar. You have a book store with millions of e-books and you can also load your own books from elsewhere by using a computer. Any retailer that sells e-books in the Adobe Digital Edition format (i.e. not desertcart) will work with Kobo as long as you authorise your device. You also have native support for ePubs, unlike Kindle devices. The OS is also more open to tinkering and you can load custom readers (to replace the stock one) or apps if you look around the web. That said, this is not an Android device, so do not expect millions of apps or even an app store. It's main purpose is to read books on. All in all, I am very happy with the purchase and highly recommend this product. Review: Excellent reader - I haven't heard about Kobo previously but when I was looking for a reader for my wife, somehow I found this brand along with others. On desertcart there was a nice discount on it so I gave it a try. I think this 7" screen size is just perfect, the most common 6" would me small. Size and design is very similar to desertcart's Oasis. This Kobo is very light, has a really nice finish and it feels solid. Display is sharp, the adjustable brightness and colour temperature is very useful. Physical page turn buttons are handy. At the beginning I thought it would be nice to have dedicated buttons for brightness as well, then realized that I can change the brightness if I swipe my finger up or down on the left side of the screen. Amazing. The reader is fast, Kobo's ebook library offers a great choice for reasonable prices, but it's also very easy to move files onto the reader with the usb cable. I'm really satisfied with this purchase. ## Features - Rakuten Kobo Libra H2O e-book reader Touchscreen 8 GB Wi-Fi Black - 0681495007813 - N873-KU-BK-K-EP - E-Book Readers ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07Y34KS9F | | Battery Average Life | 4 weeks | | Battery Description | Lithium-Ion | | Bluetooth support? | No | | Box Contents | Kobo Libra H2O Zwart, Micro USB charge cable, Quick Start Guide, Warranty Information | | Brand | Rakuten Kobo | | Brand Name | Rakuten Kobo | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Memory Cards | | Connectivity technology | Bluetooth, USB, Wi-Fi | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,176 Reviews | | Display Technology | Electronic Ink | | Display technology | Electronic Ink | | File Format | EPUB | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00681495007813 | | Human Interface Types | Touchscreen | | Item Weight | 192 Grams | | Manufacturer | Kobo | | Manufacturer Part Number | N873-KU-BK-K-EP | | Memory Storage Capacity | 8 GB | | Memory storage capacity | 8 GB | | Model Name | Libra H2O Zwart | | Model Number | N873-KU-BK-K-EP | | Model name | Libra H2O Zwart | | Native Resolution | 1680x1264 | | Network Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth, USB, Wi-Fi | | Night vision | No | | Other Special Features of the Product | Water Resistant | | Processor Speed | 1.5 GHz | | RAM Memory Installed | 512 MB | | Screen Size | 7 | | Screen size | 7 | | UPC | 681495007813 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Battery life:** 4 weeks - **Brand:** Kobo - **Colour:** Black - **Connectivity technology:** Bluetooth, USB, Wi-Fi - **Display resolution:** 1680x1264 - **Display technology:** Electronic Ink - **Included components:** Kobo Libra H2O Zwart, Micro USB charge cable, Quick Start Guide, Warranty Information - **Memory storage capacity:** 8 GB - **Model name:** Libra H2O Zwart - **Screen size:** 7 ## Images ![Libra H2O Zwart - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81EMCaXj9LS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An amazing device and great value for money *by Y***O on 16 September 2021* I bought this a little over a week ago after owning a Kindle Paperwhite (2018) since May 2021.

I'm really satisfied with this purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent eReader *by B***8 on 14 August 2021* There are more detailed reviews out there, videos etc so I'll make this short. Excellent battery, crisp screen, lightweight and build quality is pleasing. Decent brightness, I appreciate the soft lighting feature too. Swiping up and down the side of the screen to change is also superb. Accelerometer and page turn buttons only enhance the experience. One handed or two handed is comfortable. I sideload a lot of content and import fonts, which this device handled with ease. There is also a nifty Dropbox functionality I enabled. Have been using a 2013 Paperwhite from new and tried an Oasis 2020 model last year, wasn't impressed and sent it back. This has finally retired my ageing Paperwhite after many years of good service. Would heartily recommend the Kobo Libra H20 heartily to any eReader fan! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/159139759-libra-h2o-zwart](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/159139759-libra-h2o-zwart) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
