How do you find the experience of the weight (240g) and size of the Sage by comparison?
The whole reason I've come to like e-ink readers is because of the size and weight of the Libra 1 (192g).
I suddenly found myself reading alot more.
Meanwhile a device even only as heavy as the Boox Note Air 2 (420g) is a bit too heavy for me to pick up casually and start reading...
But I need a new device because 6GB is just not enough space for me.
So Im tossing up between Libra2 and Sage.
The main reason I'm looking at Sage is that extra inch...it might make PDFs easier than Libra. I've mostly moved to epubs, but I still have PDFs and Libra is a complete fail on many of them. I'm hoping Sage will make just a few more PDFs more readable**.
But Im concerned about the weight, (size) (and notorious battery life)
and there are NO stores in Melbourne where I can even hold one!
(** For the really big textbooks, I have the Boox Air (e-ink) and even a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 (colour, 463 g) that Im willing to use for them)

One e-reader to consider might be the Forma that weights 197 g (which is quite the same as the Libra First, but with the great 8" screen as of the new Sage).
