Large screen - Forma, Sage
New screen with better contrast than older readers - Sage, Libra 2
Light weight - Forma, Libra 2
Good battery life - Forma, Libra 2
Faster processor - Sage
Myself, I'd take the screen quality and the processor over the weight (as long as it's not too heavy, which the Sage is not) and battery, but everyone's priorities are different, of course.

Those choices are just making it harder
Large screen: Well, like any device, most of us prefer big screens.
New screen / contrast: important.
Lightweight: I don't think this will bother me, I lean my device on a pillow-pad so don't hold it.
Good battery life: Well, as long as it doesn't drain in 1-2 hours then I'm good. I won't be taking it out of the house.
Faster processor: Important for loading/turning pages I suppose.
Ugh, I'm nowhere near decided! Cost is an issue, the Sage is £249.99 for 32GB, the Forma £199.99 for 8GB (don't know 32GB, it's out of stock here so won't tell me) and the Libra 2 is £159.99. And, I just noticed the 8GB Forma should be £239.99 so I imagine the 32GB is probably nearer £300.
I believe the Sage is the newer version of the Forma, so it's down to the Sage or the Libra 2 I guess.
The Sage has Dropbox support as @martinot states, and it looks easy. But, if I'm using Calibre I won't even need to use that, I just need to send the books directly from Calibre to the device... ?
