One interesting item is that the P365 FCC application shows Top Victory Electronics (Taiwan) as the manufacturer and not Netronix. See https://fcc.report/FCC-ID/ARS-P365 for what little it shows.

One is Kobo BW, which the firmware is not compatible. One is Reamoo Nana, which basiclly is a android version of Kobo Libra Color. |

Sigh. Don't call it a Kobo BW then. Please refer to it as the Clara BW

Very nice. So we can check another page on the FCC's site every day for clues, haha.
By the way, for some time now there is a 7 inch screen is available from E-Ink, which is a Carta 1300, with stylus input. The new Onyx Go 7 (BW) already has that screen. So my thinking is, there could be a possible "revision" of the Libra Colour here, just with a slight modification as it would have a BW screen instead of colour, but with the same stylus input features. Of course the colour highlighting could be only a grey highlighting with different shades of grey. |

I was hoping this new Kobo Clara BW was going to have a 7" screen. But no, it's the same old small 6" screen. BAH! |

I feel as though this detail might be important and needs more attention. Are you saying that the Mark 12 firmware is *not* compatible with some Clara BW devices people already have? Is there any guardrail preventing the device from installing the Mark 12 firmware?

I know it's stupid, but I really like the name "Libra", I hope they keep it for 7" size models. At the same time EU introduced some regulations, which hopefully makes the Mobius screen to come back to ereaders. (Not a huge chance though...) |
