I ordered from Kobos site, afaik you can't order from Kobo in a different currency. You can order from Chapters Indigo who will gladly charge in you CAD rather than your own currency.

Kobo's shipping has always been a bit "interesting" especially with pre-orders. But I've found once the products have been out for awhile the shipping smooths out. And they've certainly gotten better at it over the last 7 years or so.

I don't know about Chapters Indigo, but enough people from the forums have ordered through them that they can weigh in on the speed of those deliveries. I'd wager that the speed is at least within what most would consider acceptable limits given that Chapters Indigo is often brought up as an alternative place to order.

Yes, i can order in Canadian Dollars, my local CC then converts to peso.

does anyone know if the Sage is using 32GB fixed memory or is it a 32GB SD card? i know the Libra 2 is using an SD card.

It's an eMMc, unlike the Libra 2.

It's also lacking the glorious 1G of RAM of the Elipsa, opting instead for the usual 512MB

.

(Which actually means you have less free RAM than on other devices, because of the gigantic sunxi carveout).

Kobo is really cheap when it comes to specs.

I'm wondering if it's why my 500MB CBR manga crashed after flipping few pages

good point, although i believe i'm right in saying Amazon don't list what RAM is in their Kindles.

1GB for the latest Paperwhites, 512MB for the older devices (including the Oasis).

The Paperwhite 4 and the basic Kindle have the same processor as the Libra1 and the Forma. The Oasis and the latest Paperwhites have a different 1GHZ processor, though. And the Oasis really feels noticeably faster than the Libra 1.

Ordered the sage just now from Indigo Canada, will see how long it takes to get to Sydney, Australia. I'm not in a hurry, my forma is still a good device irrespective it's how ever many years old.

I just ordered the Sage from Amazon.fr, where it's not in stock at the moment, but can still be ordered. We'll see when it ships. I'm also in no hurry.

I would... not have thought of ordering a Kobo on Amazon ;p.

(the TLD caught my eye, as our usual retailer for Kobo is Fnac over here).
