If you don't have any specific reason for wanting the Onyx Boox Leaf, you should probably go for the Libra 2. Physical page turn buttons + a better screen for a lower price, and probably easier to replace if something goes wrong. Simpler to get going and use. What's not to like?
Myself, I opted for a Nova 3 (monochrome) a while back. I miss page turn buttons and a clearer screen with better contrast (I think it's the distance between the top glass layer and the actual e-ink screen that makes it just slightly unclear). While the screen could conceivably be better on the Leaf, it's probably not as good as on the Libra 2.
But for my use case the Onyx devices are better. I use my e-ink devices as language learning tools: I read in several languages and need dictionaries for them. Kobo provides next to no information about their dictionaries and Google searches tend to show posts by people complaining about this aspect of Kobo.
Using Android also provides the opportunity to sync my devices efficiently (I use syncthing to sync my library between my phone, my ereader and my computer). I can also use the browser to download books directly unto the device - they are then synced to my other devices. They are stored in a folder structure. (As far as I know the Kobos lack this. But their "collections" can be managed in Calibre, I think.)
Don't need any dictionary outside of English/external apps/web browsing/extreme configurability? Get the Kobo.
