Question From PW2 to...?

Hello everyone,
I would like to ask for some advice regarding my next purchase.

I received a PW2 as a gift back in 2013, and it has served me very well—and still does—especially using KOReader. However, I’m now considering an upgrade.

Ideally, my best choice would be a Libra 3 BW, but since it doesn’t exist (and I doubt it will in the next year), I’m looking for something similar.

I found a new Libra 2 for €135, and I would have already bought it if it weren’t white. I’ve read everywhere that white bezels are a no-go (due to contrast). Could anyone confirm this?
Since I can’t find it at a reasonable price or used in black, I’ve considered a Clara BW. I’ve seen it in a local tech shop, and the screen looks amazing, but I’m leaning toward something slightly bigger (like a 7").

The Pocketbook Era is another option I’m considering, but it costs €200 and seems very similar to the Libra 2. Am I right about that?

I also found a Kobo Sage for €215, but I’m concerned it might be too big and heavy. Additionally, I’ve read that its battery life is somewhat disappointing. I’m accustomed to my Paperwhite 2, which lasts for weeks, though I’m not an avid reader.

Could you please help me decide? I don’t think there will be another Libra in BW since the trend seems to be moving toward color devices. However, if a new one were coming, I’d consider waiting.

I am really struggling and completely undecided.
