Kobo Libra Colour compared to Kindle Paperwhite 4 (2018)
You can't compare a BW screen with color screen. Everyone knows that e-ink color screens have worse contrast and detail than BW screens. The Kobo Clara BW has the latest and best BW screen, it's even better than that Kindle.

Looking for a no-internet e-ink reader for my teens
Kobo clara BW. It has an experimental web browser but it’s not very useable so they won’t probably spend time on the web.
