While a few days is obviously not acceptable to you, it is perfectly acceptable to others. We all have different needs and priorities. You returned your Sage, I've been using mine daily for 3 1/2 years and am quite satisfied with it. True, my Sage has never "pooped out" in a day or two, but then I don't read 8-10 hours a day either.
