Not likely. I doubt that there are any common parts between the two devices. It could be a supply issue with single part that the Sage needs. But, it could be that Kobo miscalculated the popularity of the two devices. Maybe more people are going up in size to the Sage or want the stylus than they expected.

No, it hasn't. I contacted Fnac this morning, and they say Kobo said they would deliver the reader between 19 and 22 Otober, but the cover (green for me) is out of stock. Fnac hasn't yet received anything, so I don't know when I will have it should Kobo deliver it as indicated.

Here's a video of the Sage at last. Unfortunately for most of us, it's in Japanese. Still, at least one can get to see the device.

Built-in USB sockets is a fire risk and possible RFI issue apart from fact they'll last a fraction of the time of the sockets.
Safest to use chargers that can be unplugged. |

Got my Sage and have to say I really like the size (I also have the Auro HD and the Elipsa). I haven't received my green sage sleep case though - seems like those are delayed.

I think any "savings" you have buying a Sage elsewhere and having it shipped to you will easily be eroded by the shipping cost and the import duty you will end up paying. |

Just bought the Sage from Indigo Canada, and my visa account shows total fees as $387.12 aud. (Australian price for Kobo: $439.95 + $10 ish postage)
Breakdown is: CAD299.99 for device, $46.41 shipping, no taxes. Will be sent to my PO box here in Sydney, my preferred method of receipt. Due date probably November. As a by the way, I recently had an item shipped from Sweden to my PO Box, and I thought that would take till December as well. Lo and behold I got the item 8 working days later, which is way faster than some courier items are arriving in Sydney from another address in Sydney, because of the huge backlog. Truly I couldn't believe it when I saw this item postmarked from Sweden, because we have a closed border in aus, and receiving flights in a seriously reduced format. @Sirtel and @HknGrss unfortunately Indigo Canada don't ship to either Estonia or Turkey, I checked for you both hoping they would.

Seems that Amazon.fr will ship to Estonia, so I'm going to order from them. Or use a mail forwarder and order from Coolblue.de, for example. Neither of them have the Sage in stock just now, but I'm in no hurry. It's not as if I have nothing else to read on. |
