The Kobo or MS compatible Pen (without One Note BT) works fine in the Sketchpad on Libra 2 with it logged in. One button is fat marker and other is erase.
The Sage & Elipsa use extra software for the Notebooks. On the Sage it's not installed at all till you first use a pen/stylus and then downloaded from a different server to regular Kobo sync.
The pen/stylus is some use for PDFs on Sage/Elipsa, but no handwriting to text conversion, just an image layer added on a page.
The pen/stylus is pointless for epub. It creates a separate kind of annotation with no handwriting to text conversion, which is nearly useless compared to using touch screen keyboard to add a note to a highlight.
So even if Sage FW worked on a Libra 2 it would only usefully add scribbling on a PDF, but the 7″ is too small for most PDFs. Kobo wouldn't do the download of the Nebo SW to it. The Nebo SW for Notebooks and Advanced Notebooks seems a little different for Elipsa and Sage. It's all on the user accessible partition when USB Mass Storage mounted, as you can copy the files from one Sage to another when regular Kobo reg & sync works but the Update Server for the Nebo stuff is off line. This also involves adding lines to the regular Kobo conf file.
I'd not even try to get pen annotation and notebooks to work on a Kobo Libra 2. Maybe in the future Kobo will add it.
I don't use pen to annotate epubs on Sage and only annotate (scribble on) PDFs on the Elipsa.
I prefer the Sage Advanced Notebooks to the Elipsa and the Basic Notebook is pointless as it can't convert to Advanced and you can use the Advanced one like a Basic if you desire.
