[some call me tim]

Hi all, it's been many years since I've been on this forum, I'm glad to see that it's still alive and active. I've recently developed an urge to upgrade from my current ereader, a Libra H2O. The Libra still works, but I'm not entirely enamored with it. It's slow and a bit buggy when navigating menus. My overdrive functionality is wonky--it doesn't always sync properly, it will not register that I've checked out a book at times, only for the book to appear days later on my device. Sometimes it will hold a charge for weeks, and sometimes it won't. The actual reading part is fine most of the time, it just has enough quirks that it can be frustrating at times.

So, I've been thinking about upgrading, but finding the current selection of ereaders to be lacking. The main things I'm looking for are physical buttons, comfort, and good functionality. The Libra Colour seems like a natural option, but I'm seeing mixed reviews about the clarity of the screen. I was looking at the Boox Go 7 B&W, but it looks like the cheapest I can find it in the US is ~$275, which seems a bit steep. There is a cheaper option to order it from Hong Kong, but it would potentially be subject to tariffs, unclear how much that would be. I really don't care about color or note taking. If I could have an updated version of my current Libra, that would probably be perfect. It seems like the Libra 2 would have been ideal, but sadly it looks like that ship has sailed.

I guess I'm wondering if the Libra Colour is really that bad in terms of clarity. Or if the Boox Go 7 is worth the premium. Or if there's some other option out there that would fit the bill. Or if the gains in any of these devices would be minimal and I'm just better off sticking with the H20, watts and all. I appreciate any advice you folks might have.
