I would... not have thought of ordering a Kobo on Amazon ;p.

(the TLD caught my eye, as our usual retailer for Kobo is Fnac over here).
Yeah, well, Amazon sells everything.

Fnac doesn't ship to my country, last I checked.

Yes my shipment says only 1 item. I hope there isn't much of a delay before I get the cover.

I think I'll stick with the green cover. The Sage battery is the same as the Forma's and I find that adequate, so I'll stick with it.

Just received the case for my wife's Sage. She seems happy with the Sage and case.

Really strong magnet holding the two of them together.

Got my Sage today, literally just set it up. I'm very happy with the purchase thus far though.

Nice. Is the light spots present along the buttons side of the screen?

Damn, that is the only thing stopping me from getting the sage. My h20 has a little bit of that and it bothers me when i am reading.

I casually looked and did not see anything, no Forma light bars, no extra light from the side etc. I will say I did not set the brightness to 100%, nor do I intend to as I can't see myself going above 20% (if even that high). I'm off work tomorrow, and aside for some plans w/ the S/O I have the day free to read. I'll write up my thoughts then.

But quick take- the display is just better hands down.

What was the time gap between receipt of the Sage and it's cover, may I ask?

Is the back of the sage the same as the forma the material?? I love the back of the forma and not a fan of the Libra backing it feels slippery. I always read without a case on.

Agreed. I keep the light level fairly low -- never go beyond about 30 percent -- and have no issues at all with the screen. Great display, crisp text.

May I request members who have their Sages already? May i ask for the actual weight of the item (sage in box with everything that comes with it)? I need it for package consolidation by my forwarder. Thank you

My Sage is due to be delivered by 6pm tomorrow according to track and trace. Though the Kobo website says it has already been delivered, weirdly (which is definitely not the case).

The sage was picked up at the post office on the 21st, the cover on the 26th. In both cases a delivery at home was tried the previous day.
