The post reads weird to me. I don't know what the "two groups of LEDs" means. I don't know if they are referring to the two sets of LEDs these devices have, one for white and the other for the colour, or if they are seeing a break in light on the right side. Which I don't see. Or is the reference to "bar" mean they think there should be a single long LED down that side? It does feel like they have gone out of their way to make it look as bad as possible. The light settings and camera seem to emphasise it. And the pink makes it worse. I want to see it in person. But, the local shop that should stock them doesn't have any yet. Their web site still shows "Pre-order" and all they could say was they didn't have them in yet. Edit: I didn't notice the comment on the reddit page under the photo about them exaggerating the lighting until I saw @MGlitch's post. To me, that makes the photo pretty much useless. I have no idea from the photo what it actually looks like. I am sure the poster is seeing something, but, I can't tell how bad it actually is. Last edited by davidfor; 10-21-2021 at 12:07 AM. |

Yes, those dots must be the charging connectors for the battery pack. The light uniformity over the screen looks good, insofar as it's possible to tell over a video. I was looking at the button side bezel for the characteristic strip that plagued the Forma and couldn't see it, FWIW. |

I'm in the minority of users who still value battery performance highly; not so much because of any inconvenience with having to re-charge, but because of the potential for battery degradation over the life of the device. Was the reason I sold my Oasis 1. E-ink devices don't change enough over the course of a few years to warrant having to upgrade because of a degraded battery. |

Alas my Sage met with a sorting delay. I’ll have an updated delivery time tomorrow.
Though at least I know it’s been shipped, Kobo did finally send an email today (despite the fact that the UPS label was already created on the 18th w/ est. delivery of today the 21st). I expect it’ll either be Monday or Tuesday for when I get it. |

Well I’ve weakened and ordered one. No cover though, I don’t like the light grey inner of the official cover. I might get a sleeve for it. It will be my Christmas present to myself.

The sage I ordered for my wife's birthday arrived yesterday when we were out, so I'll drop by the post office after work to retrieve it.
The processing note I'd received from Kobo earlier this week did indicate that the sleepcover would ship next week. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk |

Tried. They’re saying it’s still showing as processing and directed me to the order status page for updates. 🙄 I have nothing showing up in my UPS app, but with any luck, the inquiry will be enough to get things moving. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Mine is still saying processed, but not moved to shipping. I pre-ordered on 7 October. Am in the UK.
