But then again the Forma and Kindle Oasis weren't even on my radar just because of the price point but I guess if they were then the Libra might seem like a bit of a compromise. It's in a bit of an odd spot (full) price wise - for those who want a basic ereader it's probably a bit expensive, for those who want the premium reading experience it's too 'basic'. Or maybe that's just me projecting my own feelings onto the entire ereader market!

For me, it's the screen size and overall device size.
I'm happy with 6" readers and have avoided larger screens in the past.
However, I would like a single device that has waterproofing, amber light and page turn buttons. And the Libra, even with its larger screen is about the same height as the Clara, though it is wider.
I'd love a Clara 2 that was just a Libra with a 6" screen. But I don't think that will happen. I do think a Libra would suit my wants, though I can't justify laying out the dough when my Clara does most everything I want.
(There's also the Pocketbook Touch HD 3 that has all that and is a 6" screen, but I don't like where the page turn buttons are on that device.)
