Kobo clearly was not that clever. And it bugs me because i wanted one... but i can't live with a battery life that worse than my smartphone on a device that is dedicated and should be the best at what it is.
I'm on my third kobo, and i appreciate very much the 60+ hours of reading time per charge without thinking about it.

Well, I don't compare my eink readers with my phone or tablets. They're totally different devices for a different purpose. But then I practically never read books on my phone or a tablet.
Do I wish the Sage had better battery life? Of course. Can I live with it as it is? Again, of course. I have neither time nor wish to read for 7-8 hours a day, so the Sage lasts for a few days in my case and that's enough for me.
