OTOH, going back to the previous generation of eink, the flush Oasis has clearly better contrast than the sunken Libra 1.
So frankly, I have no idea where those differences come from.

The glass screen on the Oasis definitely makes a difference wrt clarity. It is much crisper looking than the PW4 (which my other half has), and, I assume, than the PW5. IMO the plastic top layer prevents the PW5 being a premium device.
My Oasis screen looks almost as good (crisp, clear) as the Voyage I used to have.
My Libra 1 screen also looks great, although the front light is a little uneven, most of the time I can adjust the brightness and add just a hint of amber to make it look balanced.
Both of which mean no new Libra 2 for me! I can’t justify buying something I have three of (Oasis, Libra and Basic white), all of which are excellent in their own way, and which work perfectly.
