Not arguing with any of that (
although my tablet is MUCH heavier than my Sage), my point is simply that the new device is NOT a "better
Sage" because one of the distinctive features of the Sage is its screen size. This one may be a better reader in respect of battery life and weight, but it's not a better Sage.
Many of us were hoping for a better Sage, a device the same screen size that addressed the problems of the Sage. This is definitely not that. Not only is it smaller, its performance as a black and white reader looks A LOT worse than the Sage from the screenshots and comparison photos seen so far. A "better Sage" would not sacrifice screen real estate and screen brightness. I will keep hoping for a device that truly is a "better Sage".
