Well, woohoo! And what the heck? And who’da thunk it?
My Aura One, which last synced in July 2021, is now syncing on demand. It synced yesterday and it synced just now. This was entirely unexpected and unsought, although obviously very welcome. It means I can leave WiFi on and not worry about running down the battery! It means I can direct download Libby borrows! Across all my devices!

I have no explanation at all for this after four years. I’ve made no changes to the device in the past day.

Reading the title, I thought at first that Kobo has implemented syncing between sideloaded books.

But even half an egg is better than none, so congrats!

I thought that Kobo had announced a Libra 3 BW.

Not nice. The contrast is too poor to be of use.

I take it you are assuming the Sage Colour will have a Kaleido 3 screen?
