The Kobo Libra 2 is designed to be fully waterproof with an IPX8 rating. This means it can be submerged in up to 2 meters of water for up to 60 minutes.

If your Kobo Libra 2 becomes unresponsive or freezes, press and hold the power button for about 15-20 seconds to perform a hard reset. This should restart the device and resolve most freezing issues.

E Ink screens periodically refresh, which may cause a brief blink or flash. This is normal behavior for E Ink technology and helps maintain optimal display quality. Minor lag when navigating menus or loading new content is also typical due to the nature of the display.

OverDrive Issues

If you experience issues with OverDrive, such as books not downloading or progress being lost, ensure your device has a stable Wi-Fi connection. Sometimes, returning and re-borrowing a book can resolve synchronization problems. Kobo automatically downloads "preview" copies when library books are returned; these can be manually removed from your library if not desired.
