Is the Nia gone or just sold out? A search for under €150 only returns the Clara 2E, and this page says Nia sold out.

They've probably shifted all of the manufacturing capacity to the new devices to accommodate the initial demand.

Canada is the same. I noticed earlier this week some pages had a new way to present ebooks (new layout and look) so this might be the full thing coming?

Edit: Nope, the site's back up and looking the same as usual

The Nia is still available in the UK store, so I would guess it is just temporarily out of stock in the EU store.

Kobo Belgium is alive and today is the last day of their promotion. Elipsa 2e is €350 (€50 off), Sage is €270 (€30 off) and Libra 2 is €180 (€20 off). Nia is out of stock and Clara 2e is not included in the promo.

Oh, and I love white bezels and I’m holding on to my 2016 iPad Pro because of them!

Before my better half decided to give it to a friend, I had a Nook with a white bezel and my Clara with a black bezel and once I started reading the bezel just sort of disappeared.

I'd like a reader with a red bezel/body myself.

Someone on Reddit has discovered an online retailer leaking that the Clara BW will have a Carta 1300 screen.

There is yet another post on Reddit (credit: Negative-Salt7559) on 3 upcoming models.
  • N428 - Libra Colour (CAD 250, Kaleido 3)
  • N367 - Clara Colour (CAD 180, Kaleido 3)
  • N365 - Clara BW (CAD 160, Carta 1300)

It seems that the emphasis is on repairability this time around. I think they might ditch the slicone coating based waterproofing and move to rubber sealing instead.

Yes, the repairability emphasis is potentially great, though it depends on how they make the parts and instructions available. Fingers crossed.

I don't know how the HZO coating works - is it on the whole assembled internals, or on subassemblies that get joined together? The HZO website does mention subassemblies, but that may not apply to Kobo's devices.

A new Libra 2 with a Carta 1300 screen would be a better idea then a Clara BW. What a waste of a Carta 1300 screen.
