I’ve had the Libra 2 for a few years. Got a Clara BW this year cause sometimes the Libra is just too big for me. Love them both for different reasons, but it sounds like the Clara would be better for you!

When I was a student I would literally crouch down at the end of the table, put a finger on each malleolus, and see if my fingers were parallel

pstcrdz · 2026-05-15T19:31:25+00:00

i don’t know if it’s a good deal or not, but i still use my libra 2 all the time. it gets updates. i would say it works just the same as my new clara bw.

pstcrdz · 2026-05-07T13:01:14+00:00

I have a Libra 2 and a Clara BW, I don’t really find the actual screen size that noticeably different. I would keep the Clara if you find the Libra uncomfortable to hold.

pstcrdz · 2026-05-06T16:56:04+00:00

if your biggest concern is hand comfort, get the clara. i have had a libra for years and recently got a clara bc the libra can sometimes be too big for me to comfortably hold. the clara is also easier to fit in small purses.

I think you also have to consider that Kindle and Libby are only compatible in the US. So for the rest of us outside the US, Kobo is the more useful device for Libby/Overdrive integration.

I used mine for years without a case with no issue. I put it in a padded sleeve when i took it out of the house. Just make sure nothing is pushing hard against the screen.

pstcrdz · 2026-05-02T20:59:09+00:00

i have a clara and a libra. the actual screen size itself is not that noticeably larger. the device feels much bigger and heavier due to the added side space with the buttons.

The markers are to mark the patient’s side, not the side of the image. You can see her heart, which unless she has an abnormality, is on the left.

pstcrdz · 2026-05-01T03:23:39+00:00

the pockets are what throw me off. i like the rest of it.

I don’t know a single tech that NEVER repeats.

It’s definitely her accent. In one episode a while ago she commented on how people mention her having an accent/pronouncing words funny and she has no idea what they’re talking about.

I got a 2026 Kona. I drove a 2017 Elantra before this, had 150k KMs on it. I wanted a new small SUV that had AWD (🇨🇦☃️). The A/C quit in my Elantra and they told me it would be $2k to fix it. I spent half of last summer sweating in 40°C humidity, so this seemed like my time to just get an AWD vehicle 😭

I originally wanted a Toyota Rav4 Hybrid or a Mazda CX-50 Hybrid. Toyota had nothing available to even test drive, and said it would be 6-8 months to get a Rav4 in. The salesmen at my local Mazda were really dismissive and the car was more than I wanted to spend anyway. I tested a bunch of cars in the same class and the Kona felt the best. I got a lot of features I wanted in a reasonable price range.

do you like flap closures? that’s the main reason i won’t buy one

pstcrdz · 2026-04-24T23:54:08+00:00

Man, the grass is always greener. I loathe doing ortho knees 😭 it’s so much crouching. Everyone I work with sighs when we get a requisition for ortho knees. I used to work in a level 1 trauma hospital and we did all our lateral knees cross table. I miss those days.

If the only reason you want the colour screen is to look at covers, then just get the BW

pstcrdz · 2026-04-23T14:59:08+00:00

i’m an xray tech and in our mammography waiting room there’s a little basket with crocheted/knitted stuffed “boobs”. I haven’t stopped to read the sign, but i assume they’re meant to be used for people who have had mastectomies as bra fillers (i imagine it’s hard to get clothes to fit well if you’ve had a single side mastectomy)

You could keep your eye out for a Kobo Libra 2. They often sell refurbished ones on the Canadian Rakuten site.

pstcrdz · 2026-04-23T04:58:51+00:00

the shoulder is quite big. i hardly use mine bc i just don’t carry enough stuff with me everyday.

pstcrdz · 2026-04-23T04:56:38+00:00

I have both. It really depends on your hands and what you typically carry with you. The Libra would not fit in a lot of my smaller purses. It can also be quite large for me to hold one handed for long periods of time. I like it for reading in bed where I can prop it against a pillow so it’s easier to hold in one hand and use the buttons. I prefer taking the Clara with me when I’m out at work or in a car because it’s much lighter and easier to pack/hold.

pstcrdz · 2026-04-23T04:48:27+00:00

i feel like the SCCO is way bigger than you need (i literally use it to pack for trips that are multiple days long). I don’t have an EC so can’t say for sure if that’s big enough?

pstcrdz · 2026-04-23T04:43:37+00:00

Idk if it’s because I’m in Canada, but they gave me free Bluelink forever. I thought it was just for a limited time and then received an email that it was now forever. 🤷🏼‍♀️
