YES! MINI!

A new Mini would be a nice point of difference from KIndle, for sure. A shame that something in the 5-5.5 inch range would not have buttons though

I am experiencing the constant database corruption problem. I know it seems to be firmware rather than the Forma itself, but it's making the reader worse than useless and an exercise in frustration.

Every time it happens (frequently) I have to start messing around repairing the problem and then figuring out where I was in the several books I usually have on the go because all reading history is wiped.

I much prefer Kobo over Kindle, but this is making wonder if it's time to switch
When you connect your Kobo to the computer are you first going to the home screen? The problem is that by connecting while a book is open can leave the database open and it can then get corrupted. Going to the home screen may close what's open and allow your Kobo to work properly.

If that is still a problem, the other solution is to reboot before connecting to the computer.

I use a Foilio case and tend to open the cover (magnetic) and plug in the Forma with whatever book I'm currently reading still open.

The confusing part is that I'm on firmware 4.38 from August '23 and yet this issue only began around a month or so ago. If it's the firmware, I do wonder why I haven't experienced this before. My behaviour around plugging the Forma in and using Calibre hasn't changed in years. I'm doing nothing different.

I'll have a play with it today and figure out which method is quickest and easiest.

One of our largest online retailers just put a 22% discount on the Sage and has in the description that the product will soon be discontinued.

Another very large retailer has none in stores and only one in central (online) stock.

I'm guessing a replacement for Sage is very, very soon going to be announced.

You're all welcome. Your 22% discount and imminent replacement are due to my buying one last month without a 22% discount. So you're welcome. Gratuities graciously accepted.

That usually happens to me. I thought I was all alone buying something shiny and new just as something even shinier is released the week after!

The same thing happened to me. I never experienced the problem until it started happening out of the blue. Rebooting the ereader before connecting it to the computer has "fixed" it for me until Kobo releases new firmware.

Sage in stock Amazon UK, 4% off, "free" shipping.
Sage in stock Amazon DE, no discount. €8.08 shipping.
Sage in stock Kobo IE, slightly more expensive than Amazon DE before shipping, which is free, so about about €4 cheaper.

In the past I've bought Kobo off Amazon UK, DE, Argos (now gone) or Kobo Ireland (which seems to be in Amsterdam apart from tax address in Dublin).

Who is the retailer and what is the sale price. Maybe I need to return mine and buy again.

It's in Sweden, which I presume is a bit out of your way if you live in Houston.

I guess I should have noticed that. Yes, a bit far, although one of my lotto ideas is to buy a Volvo to pick up in Gothenburg and see your beautiful nation.
