The colour eink is a backward step if you mostly read novels. Any matt screen phone or tablet is better than colour eink. for colour.
Thus currently the only good choices for novels on Kobo are the Clara BW 6″ and Sage 8″. There is no current mono 7″.

Well...kind of. From what I've seen is that you still have your 300 DPI eInk below, and you do have the dot, but it doesn't look to me (from online images) that the degradation of BW is all the way down to 150, though it's definitely not 300.
It really does seem like there's a big divide on opinions on it, so I'll have to check it out in a store with my own eyes to see if it's something that would bother me or not!
Either way, USB-C and faster processors would be very nice with the newer ones. Some things are pretty sluggish on my Aura H2O. Best move might be to just wait for the next generation, though; have to find out!
