I don't have my new Sage setup with all the fonts and patches of my Libra H20 yet, so the only direct comparison I can make is with the same map from the same store-bought kepub, and the subsequent page using "Publisher default" for the font.

I took these photos with my camera not my phone, under the sort of lighting conditions that I read in >90% of the time, and even I can tell the 'color' difference between the two, with the devices both having exactly the same lighting settings. BUT, the big difference for me is the size. I bought the Sage because I was tempted by 8, and the jump from 7 was more than I expected. With font size, margins and line spacing the same, the extra screen real estate is awesome.

They clearly show the plastic screen protector the devices arrive in still in place - in the case of the Libra, since October 2020
