I just received a Kobo Clara BW. It automatically updated during activation and Calibre recognized it just fine. I could also add and delete books in Calibre seemingly without issue. NickelMenu seems to work fine. KOReader (latest nightly) with the latest KFMon tries to launch but just returns to the Home screen. BW page turns are significantly faster than the Libra 2 probably partly to the smaller screen size. Disappointingly, at least to my eyes, blacks (text and covers) don't seem any blacker than on the Libra 2 using approximately the same font & settings. And the white background of the Libra 2 gets significantly whiter and brighter causing text to seem more contrasty than the BW. My initial impression: outside of the smaller size I don't really see any significant advantage to getting the BW if you already have a Libra 2.
