I don't tweak my Kobos after the initial set-up, but that initial set-up must be just perfect for me. When it is, I barely ever touch the settings again (apart from the light)...
I realize this is my weakness and that I'm probably one of the few who just can't leave well enough alone. But if the adjustment is there, I adjust. I've always had a little bit of an issue with front-lit eReaders. For a long time I wouldn't use them at all. Even on my PocketBooks I find myself adjusting the font size up and down, depending on room lighting.

I understand. Too many choices is a well-known phenomenon and probably applies to most of us at some point. Of course, how many is "too many" varies from one person to another.

I checked it again, but it seems to be a setting only for PDF files. So there seems to be no way to thicken the font unless by using a third party programm such as FontForge.

Based on the video review, this looks really good.

But I'm confused. Where can you actually buy a case for this?

They are sold on the PocketBook website. In Germany are also various retail chains that offer this product, but the specific delivery date is still unknown.

PB offers the Cover Shell in Navy Blue, Black and Brown, the Cover Flip in Shiny Beige and Black. The German retail chain Otto has some nice Pictures:

Their US international site is horribly bad and outdated.

I just looked at pocketbook-int.com. In fact, nothing is listed on their website. Not even the Era is listed. Maybe you'll be more lucky if you search for a local retailer or just wait a few more days and then look again.

Take a look on official dealer's pages. I've just ordered from Polish one. The case is on the way: https://czytio.pl/akcesoria-do-czytn...ra-flip-czarne

I think the pocketbook.ch website is the official one now. pocketbook-int.com looks to still be maintained, but it may be behind for a while when something new is added.

PocketBook resides in Switzerland (CH), so I assume you are right. It seems the pocketbook.ch website has no own shop, just links to retailers on their where to buy site. I am glad there is a shop on pocketbook.de.

Rcentros posted some links in the other thread about the Era.
