It would be my choice because:

1. nice hardware
2. open system. You can add koreader, for example.
3. Very easy to organize sideloaded books using calibre.

I would not touch PW5 because
1. Closed system. You cannot customize it or use alternate software.
2. Impossible to organize sideloaded books using calibre.
3. You become Jeff Bezo's bitch, basically.

I would choose the Libra over the Sage as I've not quite so good things about the Sage. The Libra 2 hardware rocks. I set one up for a friend and she loves it. No troubles.


I'm just comparing what I saw from the reviews and from those it seems Libra is slower than the PW5. I have no previous experience on ereaders or neither of the devices so that is my only reflection point at this time.

But it's good to hear that the hardware seems to be good. Do you think the single core processor will hold on till the future? It actually seems that the Kobo will be using the single core processor on also the new Clara 2E.
