I have a Libra 2, Clara BW and Clara colour. I used the Libra 2 exclusively for 3 years. I since have retired and wanted a smaller device for when I was away from home so I got the Clara BW. I loved the smaller size and have not touched the Libra since except to confirm that I much preferred the Clara. Curiosity got the best of me so I gave the Clara colour a try. After seeing many reviews pointing out the negatives and being a hard core black and white advocate because I only read text I was expecting to not like it.
Surprise surprise I didn't dislike it, and I tried. I compared the text side by side simply visually matching the screen with the Clara BW (that means visually matching the brightness by eye and not by matching the brightness setting) and the difference was so slight I'm sure I would flunk a blind test. A bit of tweaking on the font weight and the Clara colour is more than good enough.
In my opinion most reviewers are greatly exaggerating the negatives. The negatives may be there if you really look for it but in real world use they are so minor as to be insignificant. The screen is darker but only until you turn on the lights, then the differences disappear. I use both the Clara BW and colour and they are both interchangeable. Most times I prefer the colour..... because it's colour.
