The original H2O (IR with card slot) is a little brighter without internal LEDs than any other reader I have, presumably because there is no capacitive layer. It's slightly lower resolution, but nicer than a PW3 or PW4.

The Libra is better on portability, but the Sage is closer to paperback pocket-book/mass-market size. The pen & cover is too expensive and the Libra is better value with no pen, or Elipsa is better value for writing conversion and PDFs than the Sage as it includes the pen & cover.

Sage & Elipsa closer to "finished" products with the 4.32.x April 2022 firmware.

I rarely ever use the front light on any ereader. I use the 4 x filament stick LED bulbs in the desk & bedside reading lamps.
My Libra H2O certainly had much greyer and less sharp blacks than my Sage or Libra 2. But then I never looked at any of them with the frontlight off.
