(I'm not really interested in ereaders over 7", so this is a real question. I may not know what I am talking about here.)
About that Mobius screen, I got the impression that maybe it wasn't ready for prime time. That's why so few other ereaders have used it.

I recall when the Forma launched people complained it didn’t feel “premium” citing the weight among other things. Which was odd to me then because my Forma felt like a nicely designed device.
You’re right though the Sage is the Forma 2, everything the Forma does the Sage does. And even the general design is very similar, obviously the Sage is a bit thicker, and doesn’t taper off nearly as much as the Forma, but it does still have a slight tapering on the non button side.
As to why they ditched mobius, I’d guess because the cost/benefits for going to Carta 1200 outweighed it, this assumes they couldn’t use mobius with Carta 1200 of course.
