Also they are LCD.
QLED is better for outdoor. It's actually LCD, but either about 5x efficiency at same brightness or x5 brighter at same power.

OLED is limited in brightness.

I got a Nxtpaper 50 5G phone for reading outdoors / portable ebooks. There is an Amazon exclusive version €50 off due to less Flash memory, but it takes up to a 2T SD card. I've a 256G card in it with all my music, epubs and audiobooks. Pocketbook and Musicolet apps. It has extra dim and sunlight modes. A 5010 mAH battery/cell. About €100 less than a Kobo Sage.

A Sage is still my preferred ereader at home.
That depends on the QLED and OLED.
