In theory, the Sage should still have slightly better clarity due to its lack of a Wacom layer, right? Of course, the downside is the pen needs a battery.

The question would be if an On-cell layer or a Wacom layer would have more effect on the clarity.

Also note, the response I got about the Sage having the On-cell touch layer was not from an official source and while I've found them to be quite reliable, they've missed the mark on a couple of occasions.

I would use the Libra 2 more if it was lighter, and if the screen was as good as the Sage's. It is yellowish, though not as much as the first Libra which I exchanged twice because of it.
Yes, the screen is not white like the Clara 2e. And not as white as the Kindle.
I really would like if it was more white than grey-green.

I would like the next Libra 2E to be the same as the Aura H2O with a 7" screen, faster processor, and a bigger battery even if that means more weight. It would mean no buttons that I don't use.
I could live without the buttons since I got an elastic band to hold my reader better.

Some comments on things people would want with a Libra 2E, but no mention of the "E". Does anyone want the "E"?

Future wise : absolutely.

As far as usability, maybe it affects the weight or feel of the device.
Exactly what I'm thinking.

Good for the planet and lighter.

Good points.

But even if a new Libra 2 was the same design, I still want a faster processor and a battery with more charge.

That's what the frontlight is for.

What has this to do with buttons?

Personally, I need buttons because I don't want fingerprints on the screen. That's the only reason, and how I hold my readers has nothing to do with it. I'm not going to buy any ereader without buttons.

It's still not white, more green to me. I compared it to Clara 2e and latest Kindle Paperwhite. Night and day.

I used to prefer buttons. I guess my hands are cleaner than yours.

Larger battery will add more weight. I'm OK as it is, but of course I wouldn't mind if the battery was better, but not if it adds more weight.

Mine is certainly white and not greenish at all. My Sage is greenish without the warm light.

I very much doubt it. Every person's skin is unique - skin bacteria, oil and sweat production, it all differs from person to person. Your hands are probably just much drier than mine. I can wash my hands 10 times a day and still leave fingerprints on any screen I touch. Nothing I can do about it other than avoid touching the screen with my fingers.

Or maybe I just have better eyesight.

Yeah, I do use a stylus for anything else than page turning; it's too bothersome for that.
