It is strange, because the Kobo CEO looks like a good guy, based on the interview I've seen, and by his social media posts (could be wrong here, but still). I would think it's his call what to release and don't, and Kobo is not a garage company.
Maybe they are careful what to release, but their only "bad call" was probaly just the first gen Elipsa, as it's really old already and they still haven't sold them out.
At the same time, a new Libra BW would be a definitely good sell, as the Aura One re-release or sort of that.
Although the 7" BW Carta 1300 screen has stylus input, which I'd think adds another layer on the top, so it probably won't give the same level of sharpness like the Libra 2 did. Not sure if E Ink sells this type of display without the stylus input feature.
