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.

I got my Supernote manta today. After using it for a few hours the difference between remarkable and Supernote is more in focus for me: Supernote is a better physical experience, but the remarkable software is just leagues better.

E.g., Supernote gives you the bevels you can drag, the pen feels more natural, and the screen better replicates the look of paper, while the remarkable has a better general interface, and the handwriting recognition is insanely good.

Sometimes the Supernote will refuse to find handwritten text like it doesn’t exist, and using the handwriting keyboard is frustrating and clumsy, where the remarkable has never failed to correctly interpret my writing the first time.

Interesting. Thanks for the update!

I don’t use handwriting recognition except for search, so that doesn’t bother me much. I could see the Remarkable having better UI, though I wondered if it might be less targeted to note taking. Sounds like that isn’t really the case though.

The way I look at it, the UI comes into play semi-regularly, but the pen is in constant use. That’s probably still #1 for me so I’ll just hope Supernote has a larger, color model in the works for now. But man, that Paper Pro does sound nice.
