Seems like Audible has a bunch of those in their "Originals" line.

Not all that many considering the sheer number of books in ebook and pbook form. But Audible does have some audio book only publications. Since Sarah Richards is a local author, my spouse once listened to China White? (not sure if I have the title exactly right and don't want to take the time to look it up) during a freebie Audible sign-up and was not impressed enough to listen to the sequel.

While the discussion over the last few pages of this thread has been enjoyable, I have received several PMs suggesting that it is time for this thread to return to discussing the new Clara BW and Clara Colour ereaders though information seems to be rather scarce at this time.

Any further off-topic messages will be deleted.

Sorry to make extra work for you. I didn’t see this post before I replied. Hopefully, deleting my replies won’t be too much extra work for you.

There was a post on Reddit where someone mentioned that a new Sage is in the works but has been delayed until 2026.

I did find another Redditor who said a new Sage was in development from what a lil birdy had told them, but had been delayed to 2026. I contacted Kobo myself yesterday but the representative couldn't confirm one way or the other.

Thanks for both posts.

I am a happy KLC owner, but wouldn’t mind getting increased battery life. My daughter’s Clara HD is old, so she could inherit my KLC, and I get the spiffy new one.

With Kobo’s commitment to allowing us to fix things, I’d like to see a KLC update that includes replaceable battery and upgradable storage. I wonder if both models in question will address that commitment.

But my luck would be that Kobo mandates microSD Express cards just like Nintendo Switch 2. Those things are pricey! (Yes, I’m kidding There is no need for such fast read/write speeds with ebooks, though audiobooks might benefit from the read speed.)
