If buying a new ereader and the choice is between a Forma and a Sage: no doubt about it, go for the Sage.
It is very responsive and I very much like the look of the front that is one continuous surface of which the screen is just one part and the two buttons another part. None of those ridges that the Forma has. Also, the screen is just perfect with better uniform lighting than the forma and more contrast.
And all this from someone who thought that the Forma was the best ereader he owned thus far. |
The most positive early insight I'm gathering from reviews is the observation of improved contrast. There are so few people with the devices in their hands, but it seems to be unanimous among those who have them.
I never know what to make of pictures, but I was quite surprised at the difference of the Libra H2O vs Libra 2 in night mode. Way more than the 15% e-ink is claiming on the new screens.
I figured if there was a meaningful difference, it would have been observed in the Elipsa reviews.
Your comment about the Forma with the battery needing to be charged every day is why I'm hesitant about the 1200mah battery of the Sage, even though it seems I'm in a minority to have that concern. It seems to me the batteries are the first thing to go on these devices, like cell phones.
