Because the battery usage is too high. I did like the larger display though. But even in a few years time, the resale value will be very bad. Its better to get rid of it right now.

In the mean time - until there is a better alternative available - I will use a Libra 2.

Ordered one today and it will arrive later this evening.

Kobo - if you read this, please make a nice 8"-9" available next time (Carta 1400 ?) without the battery problems and without notetaking stylus. Just a device to read epubs.

Forget note taking. (That will never work properly and it is too expensive to R&D compared to eg Apple products.). Make sure that it uses fast internal memory and storage. USB 3.1 or better. If possible, use a 14 nm processor (or better).
Get a Forma while they still lasts new in stock. That is the exakt reader you describe above.

Then wait until Kobo releases a "Forma 2".
