From all of the review of the Sage the battery seems to be terrible. So am thinking maybe the Foma might be the best of both works as have no need for the new functions of the sage but the 32GB is nice. I am in Canada and looking at the prices (CDN and not including tax) with 10% discount directly from the Kobo site:
Libra 2 - 197.99
Sage - 269.99
Refurb Forma - 224.99
Something tells me to grab the Forma as I it meets all the criteria with good battery life, Mobius screen (don't know of any other readers that did under 10"). Seems to be the last of it's kind. The question is does anybody have any experience with refurbs directly from Kobo? It's unfortunate about the Sage's battery. Not much more than the Refurb Forma.

I have a Sage and a Forma. Yes the Sage has a shorter battery life but it is not really a big problem to me. Does it matter to you if you have to charge it every 4 days instead of every 6 days? If so the Forma is a better choice.
The Sage is slightly heavier and does not have the rubbery edge that the Forma does. The screen seems a little better on the Sage but not a whole lot. The power button on the Forma is in a horrible place and I would occasionally turn the device off accidentally while reading. I prefer the Sage myself. The biggest plusses for me are the removal of the rubbery edge from the Forma and the proper placement of the power button on the Sage.
Both are excellent readers, IMO the best created to date.
