The battery life of the Sage is very poor, compared to the Libra 2. Like, it lasts for a few days with 2-3 hours of reading per day. And that's when it's new. If you crank the frontlight up high or keep wifi/bluetooth on, it won't even last that long.

I like my Sage and use it regularly, but the battery life is more like an Android eink tablet than a dedicated reader.

The bezels are also glossier than those of the Libra 2, although not quite mirror-like.
