I think the youtuber MyDeepGuide did a latency test on all of the major e-ink devices that support writing and the Kobos came in a distant last. There's a chart that shows it visually that I don't want to bother finding. If it's functional, I'll be happy. It's a feature I completely dismissed and still would if not for the included stylus.
Yeah, these buttons are a big let down. My only other ereader with buttons was an original Oasis and those were far superior. If this is standard for Kobo, I'm surprised there isn't more complaining about them. I wish I had a Forma on hand because I'd be curious in a direct comparison.
I'm able to perceive the difference between the newer 1200 screen and my older Kobos more easily now.
In the past, I moved between the more standard shaped ereaders and the page turn button style of the Sage without issue, but am finding this current adjustment harder. I used the Oasis 1 in landscape mode orientation, but the line length on the 8 inch device is longer than I'd prefer on the Sage.
Getting a new ereader feels like a marriage. For better or worse, the Sage and I are going to be together. Everything boils down to the screen.
