I'm new to manga and to e-readers. I was initially looking at the Forma because the 8" screen is better for manga, but idk if I want to buy a basically discontinued device. There's apparently going to be a Forma 2, but I'm not sure if Kobo expects the Sage to fulfill this. I really wish Kobo made an 8" version of the Libra 2, as it would be perfect for me.
Here's a short breakdown of what I think of the options:
- Forma: Perfect, except discontinued and slightly worse screen contrast than Libra2/Sage. Also, only the 8GB version is available, which isn't ideal for manga.
- Libra 2: Perfect, except 7" instead of 8" screen.
- Sage: Weighs/costs more for features that I don't care about (note taking), worse battery life, but has an 8" screen. (also, the note-taking layer might make the screen slightly worse than the Libra2)
Can anyone shed light on their manga experience with these devices? thanks!
