Having read all of the above, what is the combined wisdom of this forum on the likelihood of Kobo releasing a new 8” e-reader in the next 12 months? I realise I’m in a minority here in wishing for a BW screen. Having said that, I wouldn’t mind colour, if that’s the way all new readers are going, as long as both BW and colour are at 300dpi and the contrast is as good as the Libra 2 I am currently using - contrast being the primary requirement.

In my late 70’s and use a larger heavier font and spacing than the average user, hence the need for more space to squeeze text into resulting in less page turns. Features like annotating and highlighting would probably be ignored.

So I guess a Sage 2 (or whatever) with Carta 1300 or equivalent screen and something like a 3000 mAh battery. Pipedream?
