Right now pre-Libra 2 I would pick the Sage. It’s got a better screen and the weight doesn’t bother me. The battery lasts long enough that I have multiple chances to charge it during times I couldn’t read even if it were at 100% battery between work, sleep, and life in general.

Do I think the Libra 2 might beat the Sage out? For me it’s going to come down to just how much text I lose per screen and just how much lighter the Libra 2 ends up feeling. I like having Dropbox support but given how Calibre sends epubs rather than kepubs to Dropbox I don’t use it much. I don’t have a stylus and since the power cover is the only one from Kobo that holds a stylus and that case is 1) expensive 2) not currently available in the US and 3) potentially faulty I don’t see myself buying both it and a stylus just to see if I’d start using a stylus.

I ordered a black one just so it’ll be as much an apples to apples comparison between the three devices. All are 32GB though that won’t have much impact on the reading experience for me.
I'm interested to see your comparisons!

Does the difference between epubs and kepubs matter? I don't know what kepubs are. Does the Kobo require kepubs over epubs?
