Hello everyone! Two questions for the group about the new Kobo e-reader models (Libra 2 and Sage)

1. Has anyone tried USB-C headphones on their Kobo Sage or Libra 2? Just asking to see if it would work.

2. Are you able to both listen to AND read from the ebook on the device at the same time? I'm not usually one to just listen to a book except on long drives, but I have read along while listening from my phone on occasion. In truth, this is actually the only reason I might even want audiobooks on my e-reader. Otherwise, they just seem like a waste of the battery and storage space IMHO.

My suspicion to the answer is "no" on both accounts, but thought I'd check with those who have them. Kobo's site doesn't mention anything about it that I could see, so again, not an encouraging sign.

Thanks!
