The Libra 2 is much better overall.

1. The Sage battery isn't that bad. You could read solidly all day. I have battery packs and never needed them. I read a huge amount daily on the Sage and charging is typically less than 45 minutes every 3 days, or even less often. I agree a Sage 2 with bigger battery and none of the half-dozen or so big magnets would be good. But the Sage really is OK.
2. Sadly there is no Libra 2 now, except of old stock or S/H. The Libra 2 has longer run time, but I've not needed it. It fits a smaller pocket, but I have a bag with shoulder strap for Sage and my favourite jacket takes Sage or Libra. The Libra or Libra2 or original H2O don't fit pockets on other jackets anyway.
The only better thing about Libra or Libra 2 is the running time, which is actually good enough on the Sage unless you are off-grid for a week, but likely any ereader needs a power bank if going off grid for a week and being read 4+ hours a day.
