What I'm looking for:

- latest eink screen for even better contrast
- better front light. The 2 has a greenish tint to it
- faster processor
- svelter, lighter body
- did I mention better contrast? Specifically, darker "black" background in dark mode


What I don't want:

- any sort of pen/writing. I only care about reading

Extra goodness:

- an 8" screen "Plus" version? (No I don't want the Sage with the writing layer.)
You may have to forget a new Libra 2 being lighter. The battery will have to be at least 2000mAh and if that means heavier then so be it. And a new Libra 2 would have to be 7". That's the sweet spot for a larger screen and portability. And my Libra 2's front light is not green at all and it's very even.
