I just tried yesterday the native reader and the buttons don't work always. I have to try it a little bit more but I got used to KOReader. I love the status bars and how you can tweak everything. Sent from my CPH2021 using Tapatalk |

There are some issues with buttons on the Sage, yes. Annoying, but not enough to make me use KOReader, which has its own issues (mostly with large books, plus the fact that I hate managing my library via a folder system instead of automatic shelves). To each their own. |

I manage my library with folders synchronizing it with scp via SSH. Still didn't learn how to use the metadata with Calibre so this has been my way so far. I don't mind KOReader sucking the battery since I read with the Sage just at home. And there are many functionalities if KOReader I love like the Book Map or the Statistics. My only concern is the battery getting impacted. Sent from my CPH2021 using Tapatalk |

On current KOReader releases, if you enable Autostandby (In [Gear] > Device), you should be able to get similar battery life as in Nickel.
It'll still be fairly terrible, but it'll be as terrible as everywhere else, not worse . |

Yup, that's a kernel issue. The kernel wakes up from suspend via panel/button interrupts, but the actual input events are lost (and/or mangled into the void: given how terrible the elan code is, I wouldn't exclude any possibilities ;p).
Firm presses *may* alleviate the issue, but that may just be a feeling. Or, if you wanna feel like an idiot, shaking or tilting the device first so that it wakes up from gyro interrupts first ;p. (And, unfortunately, the full stream is lost, we don't get *any* events, so we have no recourse from userland). EDIT: Err, I was talking about Elan because I was confusing this with the Elipsa lost taps issues, but that's a tad more complex, because it's broken outside of power-management states, too (and possibly more complex, because there's also another bunch of issues related to taps wrongly registered as 0-pressure). But, it also exhibits the same issue when it's the wakeup source, so the general point stands. Except on the Sage it happens with physical buttons, too, but only post-PM, no lost events when the kernel is awake ;p. TL;DR: It's still an NTX board, I wouldn't have expected a kernel without weird quirks ;p. Last edited by NiLuJe; 07-03-2022 at 01:29 PM. |

I got tired of my Sage seeming to run out of power too fast, so I haven't charged mine up since Monday. By Friday night it dropped to 2% but simply won't hit 0%. It's 3 PM where I live and it's still going.
This morning I turned off auto-sleep. At noon I opened up the cover and turned the light to 50%, although I haven't been reading it today. Three hours later it's still at 1%. Maybe Sages just have a power measurement problem. A serious one. |

This is my thought process as well. Though the Sage doesn’t get charged as often as my iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or my JBL Charge 5 speaker, I’m already going to charge things overnight when they need charging, adding one more device doesn’t bother me. I’ve been charging ereaders longer than I’ve had most of those other products anyway.
