Having used many ereaders over the years (Kindles, Kobos and a Nook), it's also my personal experience that the Libra 2 has one of the best screens ever made. Only the Voyage had the same level of contrast and sharpness, but its frontlight was more uneven. (The Boox Leaf 2 white version is said to be even better than the Libra 2, but I've not seen one in real life).

Yes, the sharpness is slightly better on the Leaf 2. The screen is really phenomenal. And personally I haven't had a problem with the frontlight. But I'm also the wrong person to ask as I prefer not using it. I only ever use it at night, with the warm light at very low intensity.
For me the Libra's advantage is ergonomics and not feeling too fragile. I'm always afraid of breaking the Leaf 2 - it doesn't feel very sturdy.
And without any special needs I would recommend the Libra 2. It's easier to use and feels better in the hand. The only disadvantage for me is when reading in other languages (lack of dictionary support, etc.).
