Question 1

Can i download overdrive ?

Accepted Answer

You don't have to download anything.  The integration between your Kobo Libra 2 reader and Overdrive is truly seamless.  On the Kobo you can search your library's Overdrive holdings and place a hold or check out a book.  If you put a hold on a title, you'll get notified...on your Kobo!...when it's ready. Much better than the round trip through multiple sites that you see with Overdrive & Kindle.

Question 2

Is this ads free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ads are an Amazon Kindle thing, not a Kobo thing.  You may get 'recommendations' for your next book you may want to read.  Unsure if to you, that qualifies as an Ad.

Question 3

Did they fix the uneven lighting from the first edition? i was hoping they would add more led lights, like the 25 lights that the oasis has.

Accepted Answer

Hello,I am contacting you on behalf of Rakuten Kobo. We have received your inquiry regarding the back light of the Kobo Libra 2. A slight, consistent shadow along the borders of the screen is normal for eReaders, as the display is positioned slightly below the black frame of the device; eReaders use electronic ink technology to offer you the most comfortable reading experience, with print-on-paper feel. The light shines down on the page, as opposed to the LCD screen technology used in smartphones and tablets, which are lit from behind the display – providing a different lighting experience.If you have any other questions before purchasing, you can can contact our support team. Thanks!

Question 4

does it have a SD card slot?

Accepted Answer

Technically, yes. You have to completely remove the back off of the Libra 2, then contend with adhesive on the internal microSD card slot. However, it is not a simple drop-in of a larger card. You need to copy the image of the internal card, write the image to your larger microSD card, then expand the partition on the larger card - something I did using gparted on Linux. Once successful, you will see the Libra 2 reporting the higher capacity of storage.

Pro tip: if you go this route, search for the method online, and read carefully. You run a very good risk of destroying your reader if you are not careful.

Short answer: no external microSD card slot is available on this device. The internal microSD card can be upgraded with a bit of effort and research.
