The crispest text I've ever seen is on my Libra 2, and the Sage doesn't lag far behind. The 7.8'' Nook had a nice, even frontlight, but the text was considerably less crisp than on the Libra 2. The same goes for the Kindle Oasis. After seeing the Sage and the Libra 2 I've found I no longer want to read on anything else.

Oh, I’m not saying the STR would become my primary or go-to reader. But it would serve very well for a device that most of my library could live on for instant (albeit slow) access.
I’m not delusional. I’m not claiming the text on the STR rivals that of the latest devices. However, in the context of its age it’s excellent
and in itself it’s still good enough for the purpose I have in mind and better than the current (slightly newer) device I’m using.
