Another user suggested at one point that Kobo may have discontinued the Libra 2 because the Libra Colour uses a slightly different shape that requires a separate mould, and it would be a pain to manufacture both of them at the same time. It's possible that we'll see a new Libra BW using the same shell as the LC in the near future.
Another possibility is that the release of Carta 1300 means Carta 1200 won't be available for much longer, so Kobo needs to launch new Carta 1300 models to replace their Carta 1200 ones. That would explain why the Clara BW came out so soon after the Clara 2E, if Kobo can't get the 6" Carta 1200 panels that the Clara 2E needs anymore (or without having to pay extra).
