Aura One (still working, but sometimes does some janky things), Forma, and Sage owner here.

I love the Sage! It has been the best of all reader devices I've owned and I've owned quite a few, from various brands.

It does go on sale (usually $30 off) from time to time, perhaps that would make it more inline with OP's budget. If it were me, I'd use the Kindle meanwhile (I have an Oasis 2) and watch for a sale on Sage. Yes, the battery life is a bit shorter, but it's not been a problem.

EDIT: FWIW, my Sage was purchased in 2021 from Amazon via Blue Proton, and no issues. I recently bought a spare sleepcover for it, as the original cover is showing some wear, again from Amazon/Blue Proton, no problem.
