For the Paperwhite 5, the resolution stands at 1430 x 1080 pixels which too makes for a pixel density of 300 PPI. That way, the Libra 2 display has a resolution of 1680 x 1264, which when spread over its 7-inch display allows for a pixel density of 300 PPI. For that, the Libra 2 features an E Ink Carta 1200 display while the Paperwhite 5 series makes do with the E Ink Carta HD. Now, both the Libra 2 and the Paperwhite 5 come across as handy devices that have been designed for the primary purpose of reading digital content.
Here we are going to discuss how the new Kobo Libra 2 fares against the Kindle Paperwhite 5 base model as well as the Signature Edition. Both are aiming at the same market segment, which would make it extremely interesting to find out how one stacks up against the other. Close on the heels of Amazon launching its new Kindle Paperwhite 5 series has been Kobo that introduced its new generation Kobo Libra 2 (and Sage) eReader devices.
