On the U.S. site, if you choose "All Readers," you get the Libra Colour, the Clara Colour, the Clara BW and the Elipsa 2E. The Sage is still advertised, but it's sold out. All Certified Refurbished Kobos are sold out. So, if you want a BW reader from Kobo, it's the 6" Clara BW. (I consider the Elipsa a specialized device.)
I wonder if Kobo is avoiding the Trump tariffs?
Meanwhile PocketBook still offers, the Basic Lux 4 (probably remaining stock), the Verse Lite, the Verse (two models), the Verse Pro (two models), the Era (two models, 7"), the InkPad 4 (8"), the InkPad Lite (9.7") and the InkPad X Pro (10.3"). They also have color models, the InkPad Color 3 (8"), the Era Color (7"), the Verse Pro Color (two models, 6") and Color Note (10.3") and InkPad Eo (10.3", which runs on Android and might not even be considered an eReader, not sure).
I'm not sure how many of these models can be found in America, but PocketBook seems to have most in stock at their U.S. Amazon store.
I'm not advocating for PocketBook here, I'm just trying to figure out why Kobo has limited the number of their models so drastically.
