My love affair with kobo is a bit complicated:
Early september, I purchased a Libra H2O via amazon at a discounted/sale price of 145$.
Then kobo announced two new models. I immediately thought of getting the Sage as it has a larger screen a bit bigger than my likebook P78.
I was able to sell my Libra H2O at about 165$

so no regrets there, and also i am not too happy with the libra's screen. It is not uniformed for my taste.
So I ordered the Sage... but reviews on dismal battery life, screen uniformity issues, and cost made me think twice, so I cancelled my order... and made an order for a Libra 2.
I am now waiting for it to arrive to the Philippines.
