Device: Kobo Sage, Libra Colour, Lenovo M8 FHD, Paperwhite 4, Tolino epos
For what it may be worth, I picked up a second Kobo Sage. Yes, the battery life is not as good as other eInk devices. However, considering the number of other devices I have that require much more frequent charging (phone, smart watch, Android tablet, etc.), I'm not that unhappy with my Sages' battery life and my old eyes like that I can increase the font size without reducing the amount of text on screen to risible levels.

Since my original Sage has shown a shorter battery life, I have ordered a PR-158098N 1500mAh battery for it. One friend of mine used that battery to replace the 1200mAh original battery in their Sage and after a couple of cycles to calibrate the battery gauge, they are noticing the battery life is ~20% better than when their Sage was new.
