Final update: I could not handle the guilt at all, so after I sold my Kobo Libra H2O successfully, I then returned my Kobo Libra 2. The Oasis is enough for me, and I am enjoying not having that nagging feeling of having two premium devices, one of which must always, by definition, not be being used.

I have three devices I bounce between that all have a feature I like. The Clara has orange lighting. The Glowlight Plus is waterproof. The old Nook STwGlowlight has buttons.

I guess now I could get a Libra 2 that would do it all. But then I would feel bad about all my old devices sitting in a drawer

Yes, you would, if you are anything like me. I like that all your readers do one different thing very well, so you have a real use case for each one.

I feel guilty that my Oasis is sitting on a shelf now. I can't see myself using it, as the screen is not as good as that of my Kobos. Its only advantage is speed, but the Sage is pretty zippy as well, so even that is no longer enough.

I guess I'll wait until the next Oasis and then I'll probably sell it. Whether I get the next Oasis or not depends on what it will be like.

For the moment, the Sage is my main reader and sometimes I read on the Libra 2 too. The Sage has a larger screen and is faster, but the Libra screen is a bit nicer and it weighs less. I've sold all my older readers apart from the Oasis.

You could sell them. Probably you won't get much for them, but it would relieve the guilt nicely.

Then I would get all nostalgic for readers of times past. That's what made me dig the NST out and fire it up.

Ah well. I suffer from no such nostalgia, which is fortunate, considering how many I've sold (6, to date). I'm much more prone to lusting after a new one.
