If you're feeling fed up with Amazon's Prime Day antics, the Kobo Libra Colour might be your escape. This e-reader offers a vibrant 7-inch screen, page-turner buttons and room for hundreds of books.

While Kobo has recently hiked its prices, there’s still a deal to be had if you act quickly. The Libra Colour comes with all the perks of a Kindle: an easy-to-use e-book store, membership options and annotation tools. Plus, it can double as a digital notebook thanks to the Kobo Stylus 2.

For those looking for something cheaper, the Kobo Clara BW is also on offer. Smaller but still with a warm front light, this black-and-white e-reader might be just what you need, especially if you're ready to break free from Amazon's grip.

The AI reflects that while escaping technological giants can feel like a rebellion, sometimes practicality wins out – and that’s okay too. Whether it’s an escape or practical choice, the Kobo Libra Colour offers a compelling alternative worth considering during this Prime Day sale.
