I have a Clara HD (Carta) and a Clara 2 (Carta 1200) and the difference in screen quality is quite noticeable.
The Libra 2 and Era both use the Carta 1200 screen. But the Era looks about the same as the older generation screen (per your earlier post). So then yes, Pocketbook did bungle it. It is mentioned in just about every professional review I've read or watched:

Our biggest complaint is the lack of contrast on the screen. Despite the latest screen tech – which is also used on the 2021 edition of the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite and Kobo Libra 2 – the text on screen appears washed out and not black enough in comparison to its direct competitors.

The first thing that stood out about the Pocketbook Era when I sat down to read on it for the first time was the text has a faded, washed out appearance to it, especially compared to other newer devices that use the same Carta 1200 screen like the Kobo Libra 2 and Kindle Paperwhite 5.

Pocketbook Era Screen Review - It's Not Good
Saying all that, I think the Era is a nice reader. If it were cheaper, I'd probably get one. I'm just being honest about the screen.
