Kobo Libra and PocketBook Era are both waterproof eInk readers with Carta display and adjustable warm front light for reduced eye strain and night reading. They support multiple ebook formats, downloading books and syncing library via Wi-Fi .

But Kobo Libra (released in 2019) is better suited for users that need seamless access to public libraries (as it offers integration with OverDrive for borrowing library ebooks). It also features physical page-turn buttons on one side

PocketBook Era (2022) is better for audio book lovers, because it has built-in speakers and Bluetooth for wireless headphones.
