All that said, I’m apparently an ereader junkie so I’ll probably cave and order a Sage anyway. Does anyone know if it has a non-slip surface?
The Sage, while heavier, is still basically the form factor of the Forma. Just doesn’t taper off on one side. Which I’m on the fence about how much it’s going to matter when holding it.

As to the non slip back, from the videos of the Libra 2 I’ve seen it’s got at least some texture, different than either the Forma or the Libra H2O but still something. I’d be very surprised if the Sage didn’t have the same or similar backing. I think the last Kobo with a smooth back was the Aura H2O. As to the material I’d bet it’s similar rubber to the Forma and Libra (possibly the Clara HD and Nia I just don’t pay them much attention).
