Aliexpress claims to have a battery for the Forma. I haven't actually tried it but one of the reviewers claims to have used it on a Forma.

One online acquaintance did replace the battery in their Forma and claimed it was pretty easy. Not sure about which battery they used but suspect it was the same one from Aliexpress. OTOH, they are experienced in working with electronics. I never opened my Forma to replace the battery so can't say much from personal experience.

Here's a battery for the Forma. Will the online service replace the battery if you can get one?

I just managed to get 2 Kobo Formas, one from China one from the UK, both 32 gb. They are significantly (40 grams) lighter than the sage and are easier to hold because of the weight distribution. No audio or bluetooth, but I don't need those. I am very pleased with these Formas and wish Kobo would bring out a new updated model with the same weight and weight distribution.
The reason I haven't replaced my Forma is because of the weight. The Forma screen has a plastic substrate instead of the more usual glass which is significantly lighter.

Luckily, my original Forma is still working well as is the 32GB Forma I got off Ebay.co.uk earlier this month. My 2GB Touch still works well too! The only reason I no longer use it is because 2GB not 32GB.

The Kobo Touch has a microSD card slot by the way.

Yes, but I use a Mac and had trouble with SD cards that were bigger than the on-board one - it took the larger card to be the on-board card. That's why I was so pleased to get 32GB on-board. (It wasn't just the Kobo; I had Android readers with the same issue.)

So 1+ year out from the original topic's creation. Can we confidently say the Sage is discontinued?

Kobo hasn't officially confirned it, but I'd say so.

I think the Sage is discontinued even if not officially.

Unfortunately, even though we personally know the Sage has been discontinued, Kobo continues to deny it. See post #25 if you missed it:

I've read that post. Perhaps I should have said 'although Kobo denies it'.
