How is 7" better for talking out of the house? It's not pocketable either (at least the Libra design) and it's close enough to 8" to be basically the same for most briefcases, backpacks and purses.
And we've been over this, the Libra 2 "selling out" when being discontinued doesn't prove anything. Kobo knew roughly how much Libra 2 was selling when they stopped production, knew roughly how many units were on the market/inventory and were able to time it so there was minimal left. If there was only 500 left when they were discontinued and "sold out very fast", that wouldn't be very impressive would it? It's not uncommon for the old product to get hard to find before discontinuation and replacement.
