If I needed a new Reader, I'd consider Pocketbook. The reason is that Kobo has no 7" BW Reader. The color Readers are lousy (IMHO) and the Clara BW is 6" and too small for me. The Sage's battery life is too poor and it's too large to carry with me.. The Elipsa is too large and the battery too poor.

So that leaves Pocketbook.

The problem with Kindles is the PW5 is basically gone and Amazon is charging way too much for refurbished models. The 2024 Kindles ate MTP and do not allow D&T. And that leaves those out.

Amazon & Kobo are not doing right by customers. Kobo needs a Libra BW and Amazon need to get rid of MTP and allow D&T.
