I have the white Leaf 2 and the Libra 2. Both have a really good screen - the Leaf 2 is slightly sharper than the Libra 2, but has a less even backlight. The page turn buttons are slightly nicer on the Libra 2, but both work. Visually the Leaf 2 is nicer since the bezels next to the screen are gray rather than white, which creates an effect of the screen almost melting together with the bezels when reading. The Libra 2 is slightly more ergonomically constructed, but also heavier than the Leaf 2.
The Page solves the one problem that the Leaf 2 has: it's slow. When reading on the Leaf 2 this isn't so noticeable, but when navigating between apps or having several apps open it's sluggish. It has a glass layer on top so I'd expect the clarity/contrast to be slightly worse than the Libra 2/white Leaf 2. However, if it uses the new Onyx Glass layer, which my Palma also does, then it should be quite good. It's micro-etched glass, so the contrast isn't as reduced as a matte finish.
I have never seen or tried a Sage, so I can't comment on that.
Unless you want or need the extra functionality of Android, I'd recommend getting a Kobo. Their interface is nice, the Calibre integration is good (especially creating collections automatically) and they're easy to use.
