Cases & covers

  • Kobo Libra Colour SleepCover

    The official folio. Wakes and sleeps the reader on open and close, folds into a stand, and adds almost no bulk. The safe default.

    Fits: Libra Colour · $$

Styluses

  • Kobo Stylus 2

    The pen for the Libra Colour and Sage. Adds handwriting in the stock notebook feature, with a highlighter button and an eraser end. Needs a AAAA battery.

    Fits: Libra Colour, Sage · $$

Reading lights

  • Clip-on warm reading light

    A rechargeable clip light with an adjustable warm-to-cool range. Useful even on readers with a front light when you want zero glow from the screen at night.

    Universal · $

Screen protectors

  • Paper-feel screen protector for the Libra Colour

    A matte film cut for the Libra Colour's 7-inch screen. Adds a slight tooth that some people prefer for writing with the stylus; it very slightly softens text.

Stands

  • Folding e-reader stand

    A small aluminium or silicone stand that props the reader at a reading angle on a desk or table. Handy for hands-free reading while eating or following a recipe.

    Universal · $

Charging

  • Braided USB-C data cable

    A short braided USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to USB-A cable rated for data, not charge-only. Useful as the dedicated cable for sideloading, since the one in the box is easy to lose.
