Perhaps "some posters on MobileRead agree with me" would be more correct.

What we need is more choice for Kobo Readers. Some want color. Some don't. Some want a larger screen. Some don't. So what we need is a Libra 2 replacement to help give users more choice. We also need a better 8" and 10.3" BW Readers (with proper batteries). Also, an 8" color screen would give some what they want. Then we'd have enough choice for what users want.

Some want buttons, some don't. Some want symmetric some don't. Some want 5" some don't. Some want a plastic substrate some don't. Some want a bigger battery some don't. Some want a thicker reader some don't, ...

I wish people wouldn't cite them as a source, link to them or click on links to them. It's not much, but cutting down on clicks would hurt them in the aggregate. At the least, if you're going to use them as a source, provide a copious enough quote so that people don't need to click to find out what they said.

They occasionally work as a decent "amplification" outlet, provided they include the original source, and you ignore any of the speculative crap GER has added. I've posted a couple news articles in the past that I got alerted to from them, but I then dug through the article and got the original source to post directly from the horse's mouth.

Some read JSWolf posts some don’t. I stopped doing it.
It's not worth the time to read or reply to his posts.

I would guess, if it’s true, either these are two new devices exclusively for the European market, Kobos with Tolino software which is planned (B for B-market = Europe ) or what would be brilliant a Kobo Clara Colour and a Clara BW with (side) buttons. The addition of the letter B could stand for buttons.

Why bother with expense of FCC if it's only for Europe?
