I refunded my Sage. Compared to my wife's Libra 2 it was not good, in terms of screen uniformity and appearance. Battery life seemed not good, but that is known. I even preferred my screen on the Aura One over that of the Sage. |

Libra 2, Sage and Elipsa 2e just went on sale in Belgium (and probably everywhere else), so we probably won't see any announcements until April 7th.

Also, all refurbished readers (Nia, Clara2E, LibraH2O and Forma) are sold out. |

Been waiting for this update for awhile, but may get a Libra 2 by June. I already have an old Kindle that works so not rushed.
Kobo's Instagram posted a cryptic "Stay Tuned" when asked about clear cases. |

I tried waiting out the arrival of the new Libra since this thread started. Initially the patent filing seemed promising but after half a year of waiting with no news, it seems that the earliest release date will be in Q4 2024.
Now's a good time to buy with the rare $20 discount being applied at most retailers. I pulled the trigger and couldn't be happier. |

I don’t „need“ a new device, but I’m still curious what it’ll be.

I'd settle for a Sage device with a non-soldered/removable SD card. I still have half a mind to grab a Libra 2 just so I have something I can more easily repair if the memory ever dies. I've still got my trusty Clara HD as a fallback, but who knows if I'll still have any micro-USB cables lying around in ten years...
