Kobo has added a number of color e-readers to its lineup, showing why color could be the future of e-books.

The Kobo Libra Colour and Kobo Clara Colour seem to have everything right, from price to features to repairability. If you’re a hardcore e-reader enthusiast, you might be skeptical about the addition of color. What does it do to battery life? Does it make the pages (which aren’t as white as paper to begin with) dull or gray? The answers seem to be no and no, and the benefits are legion. They even work with styluses!

“Some books require color-coded notes and highlights. The information on the pages covers multiple topics, each with its own color,” technology expert Daivat Dholakia told Lifewire via email.

First, let’s look at the new devices. The Kobo Libra Colour and Kobo Clara Colour (yes, that’s how they spell color) are essentially the same as the B&W Libra 2 and Clara, with upgrades. There’s the color screen, the ability to use the (optional $70) Kobo stylus for taking notes, sketching and highlighting, plus DropBox and Google Drive integration (for document storage), and an improved processor for the Clara Colour.
