PocketBook Era Lite is being highlighted as a superior alternative to what many hoped the Kobo Libra BW would be, after Kobo abandoned plans for a black-and-white version of its Libra Colour. Kobo discontinued the original Libra model, leaving e-ink readers seeking a B&W alternative with no viable option from the company.
Background
The Kobo Libra Colour launched in April 2024 with a colour E Ink screen, but no B&W variant was ever released. Kobo has since discontinued the original Libra, leaving a gap in the market for a mid-range black-and-white e-reader.
