The Libra H2O weighed 192g
The Libra 2 weighs 215g

The Forma weighed 197g
The Sage weighs 240g... a much bigger difference. Clearly the extra weight of the Sage isn't because of the bluetooth added for audio books.

The weight difference is more likely due to the switch from the plastic backed screen to the glass one.
