"2022 - 2024 with 0 discontinued". Sorry, I meant to say "Readers MADE between 2022-2024.

Kobos are impressing me more and more. I just wish they made 8" ereaders. 7.8" at least. I also do not want a color eReader. I guess I will wait for another year to see what comes out.

Kobo does make an 8" model. It's called Kobo Sage, and many people here have one.

The Clara 2E was released in September 2022 and discontinued in April 2024.

I think @pypeke is talking about a Reader like the Forma.

I looked at the Sage, but people said the battery did not last as long as other ereaders. Smaller battery. I am guessing that Kobo might fix that in the future. Maybe?

Unlikely that the battery will be changed since that would require a whole new cycle of approvals. A smaller battery ( 1200mAH) and a quad core CPU with the infamous Sunxi power management are not a great recipe for long battery life. For my uses, I find the battery lasts long enough—I seldom read more that 10 hours without pause—and it charges faster than most of my older Kobo devices.
