Hello, new here. I sadly lost my dear Libra 2 and I would like to get a replacement without the main issue I had with it, the loss of contrast caused by the built-in lighting, or at least with better overall contrast. I also hated how a finger rested barely inside the screen over the narrow side of the frame unleashed an avalanche of page turns.

Then I read about the Clara BW with its great new screen and its option to disable turning pages by tappinng, leaving it only to swiping. Unfortunately, I don't think I could get used to its small size, and besides, I loved the wide side for one-hand holding of the Libra.

I hardly care for the dull, sharpness-killing colour of today's e-ink and always found colour highlights silly. I find the Sage too big (I used to have a Forma), heavy (I guess) and expensive, so I hope they reconsider and bring back the B/W Libra with an upgraded screen. How likely do you think that is?
