Kobo have a very generous returns policy here so I wouldn’t mind checking out the new device…

I’ll be honest, the strip isn’t as distracting as I initially made it out to be, I may have been a little incendiary with that post and I have since ‘gotten used to it’… but that doesn’t mean I’m not disappointed!

Anyone here have a Sage with a perfect screen? I will say the text is razor sharp on my Sage vs my Oasis 3 and also the extra inch is great.
Personally I think they all have that strip, but depending on the ambient light not everyone may notice it.

The Libra 2 has even sharper text than the Sage, a better frontlight and better battery life, but ofc it's only 7'' vs 8'' and no stylus use. It's also a bit slower.
