With Amazon's Big Spring Sale running from March 25 to 31, we're obviously on the hunt for great deals on the retailer's Kindles. But to only be looking at Kindles would be a mistake. There's a whole wide world of e-readers out there, including those that happen to also be on sale. While it's not technically part of Amazon's Big Spring Sale, Kobo is running a deal on its Kobo Libra Colour, marking it down $30.

Usually $229.99, the Kobo Libra Colour is our favorite color e-reader. With its under-$250 price tag, it's cheaper than Kindle's Colorsoft (16GB) and comes with twice the storage. On sale, the Kobo Libra Colour is down to $199.99, saving you $30 for 13% off.

Amazon already dropped the price on its Colorsoft ahead of the Big Spring Sale, down to $169.99, so while it's technically cheaper than the Kobo Libra Colour for a limited time, the Libra Colour is still the superior e-reader. It comes with 32GB of storage, adjustable warmth and brightness, and it's fully waterproof. Plus, it has writing capabilities and is compatible with the Kobo remote. But maybe the best feature of the Kobo Libra Colour is its page-turning buttons, a rare but sought-after feature in an e-reader.

Shop the Kobo Libra Colour for just $199.99 and save $30 while jumpstarting your spring reading.
