Taking out the 9g, that's 34g. So why the extra 34g, beefing it up for a glass substrate?

And it is interesting that the eink site doesn't list a Carta 1200 8" glass substrate panel? Are we sure that the Sage doesn't have a plastic substrate? They also don't list a 8" mobius panel.
1 - My point was more to explain that the Libra2 weight was more in the norm and it was not necessarily fair to compair it to the forma.
2 - The forma doesn't use a Carta 1200 8" flexible screen. So we can't use your comparison / extrapolation.
