I think the screens on the Clara BW, Sage and even the Elipsa 2e (to name just the monochrome e-readers from Kobo) are very sharp. What they don't have is 7". I don't think it's a bad thing that we're giving a lot of thought to the lack of a 7" monochrome Kobo e-reader. I understand the helplessness and disappointment felt by users who are specifically looking for that type of e-reader, but I don't agree at all that Kobo users are left without options. Kobo e-readers are still selling normally, and honestly, I don't think users who have decided to buy any of the current models are particularly unhappy. The different Kobo e-readers (not just the Libra 2) continue to be highly rated by their users.
(I also believe that the issue of book covers is a minor one, although it has sparked considerable controversy in several Kindle threads. Aesthetic issues should never be underestimated, and this also applies to colour e-readers).
