Here in Canada, it's $20 more - I'd be hoping to get it on sale anyways. But I'm really not sure if the extra cost is worth it. Considering:

- I don't use audiobooks. Seeing as I'm mildly hard of hearing, I'm not likely to start. So not useful for me.
- 2 has a higher PPI 'Carta' screen. I figure this makes things a bit sharper?
- The 32 gigabytes of storage is nice, I admit.
- USB-C. This is actually the part I'm worried about— I can't easily get to my computer's USB-C ports and if the included cable won't plug into a USB-A (3.0) I'll need to spend even more money to get an adapter.
It sounds like you are comparing the 2 Libras? If so, they both have the same PPI.
