Here are a few photos taken under an indirect dim led light.

It is difficult to photograph a lighted object, and the grayscale was useful, and used, for the sleep photo only .

To the naked eye, the lighted Sage screen color is much better than Libra 1's, and the text is better too (the font is my favorite, Isidore). With the light off (sleep), Libra 1's screen is whiter but Sage has better definition. Add the extra inch, and I think I will retire the Libra 1 to spare wheel. I have been very annoyed with my Libra 1's yellowish screen for months now, even after exchanging it, so I won't regret it. Yes, Sage is heavier, but compared to all those paper books I can't hold any more...

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the light was at 43% for Libra 1, 30% for Sage, the natural light 3 steps up for Libra 1, only 1 for Sage.
EDIT2: I still love Elipsa, and it remains the best for most PDFs and books with maps and tables and graphs, or those German books where you need to see the verb at the end of a long sentence to understand said sentence, or some poetry where only on Elipsa can indented lines be rare (Leaves of Grass, typically).
