Thanks for posting/sharing. I may try at some point if I can get a replacement micro usb port. (Other than reading at the beach, a few rain drops & a very careful light rinse to clean the screen, the waterproofing has been a non issue) Before I try, I'll research local small electronic repair and see what they can do.

I have had glitchy experience with the Oasis 3 night before last so that added some anxiety. Luckily that issue seemed to resolve.

Splurged the birthday gift card on a new reader last night. Will be delivered sometime today. I'm keeping my expectations low w/the glass half full since I know I will like the overall interface w/the new Kobo vs the Oasis.

What did I get? Libra Colour. I was strongly leaning towards the Sage as on paper it seemed pretty close to the Aura One with some extra bells & whistles. I was considering a refurbished, but it was the same price as a new Libra Colour. Gift cards made the LC affordable, realize it will be a different experience.

Thank you to everyone who responded.
