When my eyes were tired I used to like following along to to the TTS voice on my Kindle 3. I also like the ability to download a book from about any ePub seller (or Overdrive) on the Era, and that it can handle DRM on its own. I used to be big on the flat surface screen, but that's no longer a huge game changer for me either way. I also like the slightly smaller size of the Era. Not sure about the key placement. And the Era has a bigger battery (probably partly why it's heavier) and a dual core CPU. (I still don't understand why the Libra 2 didn't get that — its cousin, the Tolino Vision 6, got a quad core CPU.)
Yeah, I wrote that post quickly, as I'm on vacation.

I'd prefer the Kobo software to what I have seen of Pocketbook, I never buy books directly from my reader (I don't even turn on the WiFi) and it costs more for less storage. So as a whole the Pocketbook Era just doesn't have an upside to me.

I do like the look of it, though I couldn't figure out where the page turn buttons are.
