Hello everyone,

I am based in Japan and going to read mostly manga and novels.

There is a Kobo Forma at 164.30 USD (new) on Amazon and the Sage is sold at 232.14 USD on Rakuten.

Which one would you recommand given the pricing? I do not need audio books. What could be important is screen quality, battery life and interface/dictionnary functions.

Also could you use these e-reader to take notes? Like for example to note the translation of some Japanese words and characters on a manga?

According to my research until now, some people say the Sage is newer and better with better screen and performance overall but some other says Forma is lighter, has a better battery life and is more pleasant to use on a daily basis. What do you think? Is the sage worth the price difference of 70 USD?

Thanks!
