I never having trouble tapping the screen for a page turn, and tapping a button didn't feel advantageous in any way.
On a purely subjective front, the shape of the Libra lacks the minimalist elegance of my 6" readers. I decided on white, since all my others are black, and thought a small bit of variety would be nice. But the thicker button side, the asymmetrical layout, and the white case: it's just not as pleasing an object to my eye. Yes, this is a trivial criticism, and purely personal. But I didn't bond to the hardware.

Thank you for this feedback. I have an Aura H2O2 and have been debating whether to get a Libra, the "cons" being similar to the points you make here.
It may well be confirmation bias, but reading this does make me think I'll stick with what I have. If you're still looking for something bigger than a Clara without the Libra form factor, there are new H202s on ebay
