Good midday, everyone!
I am interested in buying a 7" ereader in Black-White with buttons.

So far PocketBook Era & Kobo Libra 2 are most promising candidates.
I cannot see them in real life (no electronics store here has them both), so I relied on youtube comparisons – and Kobo Libra 2 seems to have the better, more contrast display than PB Era (both being b/w Carta 1200).

But, however, Kobo Libra 2 I cannot find available in Germany! It is said out of production. Used prices are ridiculous (500 € I found one offer for not-new-condition).
Does anyone know if it is somewhere available (in new condition) or in the EU, some EU online shops?
Or can you order it in Japan still? So I will pay expensive Japan>Germany shipping + tax tariff, but still worth it!

Thank you, friends of Kobo!
