The Kobo Libra 2 takes over from the late H2O, while retaining the same 7-inch e-Ink Carta screen. However, this e-reader stands out with its XXL memory and the ability to read audio books.

A worthy replacement for the late Libra H2O, the Kobo Libra 2 is distinguished by increased internal memory and battery capacity. But the biggest innovation remains the integration of Bluetooth, which allows the reading of audio books as long as you have a wireless listening device. If you are a fan of the genre, it is difficult to find better on the market. What’s more, the Kobo Libra 2 can be taken anywhere.

The second best quality/price ratio
The Vivlio Touch HD Plus is surely the best-equipped e-reader on the market at an affordable price. Some will criticize it for the lack of a microSD port, but with 16 GB, we don’t have enough of a lifetime to read the thousands of books it would contain.
However, we are annoyed by the latencies, especially when it comes to scrolling through lists with your finger. Even switching from one page to another is not as fast as on a tablet or smartphone. Despite this downside, the Vivlio Touch HD Plus deserves our attention. It deserves a little more notoriety compared to the giants Kobo and Kindle.
