Pocketbook will sell the Era together with a cover for just one additional EUR. I can also get a 10 % discount, so buying the bundle for 180 EUR incl. shipping is a no-brainer for me.

The Sage is too big for my daily commute, I also don't need the extra functionality. It also is quite expensive in Germany (366,97 EUR for the Sage + Stylus + Cover). This corresponds to two Pocketbook Era + Cover.
I couldn't be bothered with the Sage's note-taking either, so no stylus needed for me. The Libra 2 here is about the same price as the ERA, the difference is the shipping - I could buy a Libra 2 locally, and pay a bit less than the ERA with free shipping, while I would have pay around $50USD to get the ERA shipped here. If Pocketbook ever gets a local reseller here, then the ERA would be a serious contender for me
