Here's its info in English...

Here's a German information page, which gives the dimensions...

And a Spanish one...

Shorter, narrower and thinner than the Libra 2, but 13 grams heavier. Shorter, narrower and slightly thinner than the Oasis at its thickest point, but 40 grams heavier. This is actually shorter than my HD3, but about an 1-1/2" wider. I like the built-in speakers. but I was hoping that if PocketBook came out with 6.8" or 7" screen it would have been the traditional shape (I worried that the InkPad Lite was a precursor of their new design plans). I have mixed emotions about the flush screen — but (if I do go for a 7" screen) this will probably be my first 7" reader. I like the PocketBook's features.

PocketBook Era - 155 x 134 x 8 mm - 228 grams (flush screen)
Kobo Libra 2 - 161.6 x 144.6 x 9 mm - 215 grams
Kindle Oasis - 159 x 141 x 3.4-8.4 mm - 188 grams (flush screen)

EDIT: Dang. Just realized that color choices for the Era are the same (or close to the same) as the color choices for the standard Touch HD 3 — "spicy copper" and "metallic grey." I guess this probably means this is the Touch HD replacement. I was thinking it was an additional model.
