Yes, quite. I've also tried colour e-readers and found the contrast unacceptably poor. Obviously, there are folk who like the colour e-readers, but there's a significant proportion who don't.
I see that the Sage is out of stock at Kobo UK. That leaves a huge gap in the B&W market between the Clara BW (6", 174g, £130) and the Elipsa 2E (10.3", 390g, £350).
There's no way that I'd be willing to pay as much as £350 for an e-reader. But, now that I've bought a lap rest for mine, weight is less of an issue. I'd quite like something a bit larger than the 6" devices that I've been using for the last 14 (I think) years. In the absence of a Libra BW, I was toying with getting a Sage... until I saw that they're OOS.
I suppose that I could get a Boox Go 7 at €250 (they don't seem to have an 8" device), but I prefer the Kobo UI.
