End of the NDA is June 22, so a release for the Black Friday season maybe.

I have a Sage arriving in about 12 hours. The Fintie case already arrived. Looking forward to checking it out since processor, memory and screen are all supposedly significant upgrades since my Aura One. And I'll have buttons again! (Compared to my Kindle) Yay!
Return the Finte case while you can. They wear our very quickly. Poorly made. They just don't last and you'll need to buy another case. So save yourself the hassle and buy another case now.

I'm thinking a September release with an October ship.

I have Fintie cases on all my devices except the Scribe. I've had excellent service from them, the oldest several years old now, 4-5 at least. Very little wear. I'm fully satisfied with them. It's possible this one will be different but for $15 delivered compared to $50 plus shipping for the Kobo case I'll go with 3 Fintie cases sequentially if need be. I seem to recall you hate anything Fintie although I've eaten and slept since then and could be confusing actors.

My Sage arrived. It has a tiny 8" screen compared to the 10.3" Scribe. It goes through the battery quickly. I've read 73 pages so far and am down from 100% to 83%. It uses the new USB-C connector which I like better as it works turned either way. The lighting has a blue tint, not the pure white like Kindle. The font adjustments have far more settings than Kindle. It has buttons!!! The magnet of the Fintie case is STRONG. It is FAST to wake to read, almost instantaneous, almost. Kindle is snail-like in comparison. I won't get rid of Kindles but I like it a lot so far.

Kindles hibernate to save battery, as they can't be turned off. That's why they're slow to wake. Kobos don't hibernate, but you can turn them off instead if you're not going to use them for a while. (Personally I never turn my Kobos off, YMMV).

Nice find. N365 isn't +1 from any other Kobo model, so they're back to their inscrutable model numbers again.

I hope it hurries up because my Forma is just about dead now and I'm loath to buy from Kobo if there's a new model in the wings.

I had a Finte case and my wife had a Finte case. Both worse out way too quickly. I can only highly recommend avoidance of Finte.

Yep, this is me, although I think my Sage will last until the September equinox at least, by which time the new model should be known

No, but the frequency of incidents of database corruptions when connecting to Calibre has gone from zero in the first 2 years to several in the last month, all without any change in my usage pattern. Which makes me wonder if something's starting to go wrong

What firmware are you on? The recent ones have the issue with corruptions. I am still on 4.34 and no corruptions.
