I've compared its screen with the Oasis 3, the Nook 7.8'' and the Libra 1. The text is easily equal or even better than that of the Oasis, head and shoulders above the Nook and the Libra 1. It's the darkest, most beautiful text I've seen since the Voyage. I'm looking forward to comparing it with the Libra 2.
The only disappointments are the battery life and the frontlight. The latter is somewhat uneven and the warm light doesn't look as nice as the Libra 1 light. It's paler and has a "pissier" yellow tone, compared to the deeper yellow of the Libra 1.
Oh well, can't have everything. Every one of my readers has some cons besides the pros.

I'm with you for everything except the screen color. For my devices, the Sage screen is much better than both Libra 1s I've had: the color is very even, a perfect very slightly warm white with natural light off, and a much more natural off-white color with natural light on (I'm usually at 3 , maximum 5, steps up).
Elipsa's screen is good, but I deeply regret that there is no 10" screen above 226 dpi, and I now only read books that need the bigger real estate on it. Until the Sage arrived, when at home I read everything on the Elipsa, because I couldn't bear the definitely very pissy yellow of the Libra 1, even when the natural light was at 0, even though I had already exchanged it because of the same problem.
