  • Makes you feel that Kindle is outdated.
Size: eReader Only Color: Black
Build Quality Solid, premium feel in hand. The Kobo Sage is built like a tank without being heavy. The magnesium alloy frame and rubberized back offer a great balance between sturdiness and grip. It feels far more robust and high-end than most e-readers, including the Kindle Oasis. Reading Experience Absolutely soothing on the eyes. The 8" E Ink Carta 1200 screen offers fantastic contrast and sharpness. The ComfortLight Pro with adjustable brightness and warm light reduces eye strain, making long reading sessions a pleasure. It doesn’t just let you read — it invites you to keep reading. Dropbox & Google Drive Integration Game-changer for productivity. Once you experience syncing your PDFs and eBooks directly via Dropbox or Google Drive, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. Seamless cloud integration makes personal document management far more fluid than Kindle’s email-based system. Overall Experience vs. Kindle Far, far, far superior to Kindle. From UI customization to open file support (like EPUB and CBZ) and the freedom from Amazon’s ecosystem lock-in, Kobo Sage outclasses Kindle in every meaningful way. It’s not just an e-reader — it’s a reading companion built for serious book lovers and professionals alike. Button and speed: Soft clicking button show no sign of easy wear. Note taking -- not yet tried. Confused in Kobo Stylus 2 or Metapen M2. ... show more

  • I forgot how fun it is to read
Size: eReader Only Color: Black
I love this E-reader. Now that I have a new job I can splurge a little and treated myself to buying a reader. And it's everything I hoped for and more. The font customization is excellent, you can install additional ones downloaded online. The right font for you will make reading MUCH MORE enjoyable and not tiresome, trust me. I downloaded the Atkinson Hyperilegible font set, and it's just soooo smooth for your eyes. I decided to plow through the Game of Thrones series to be my Kobo's hazing, and trying to read those books in the published font just feels tedious and punishing when I can finally pick and choose. Obviously font sizing, margins, line spacing, it has everything to make it just right for you. I got this over the Kindle because I have a library card and can just load stuff for free from there if needed. It has its own bookstore too if you need. But, I just download EPUB files from annas archive website - google it, not sure if links are allowed in reviews. Theres a huge reddit compilation of where to source any type of reading material and audiobooks you'd want. You can load the Kobo through a connected online drive like google or overdrive, etc. its 32 GB, and unless you cram it with hundreds of audibooks, I have no idea how many books you'd need to run out of space on this. Not that most people would ever need, but I wonder why they didn't put in a SD card slot too. Theres ample room on this nicely sized device. The dictionary function is awesome, I had no idea how much of an extensive vocabulary GRR Martin employs. All you do is hold down the word - and voila, no internet required. Obviously you can change the color intensity from bluer to redder depending on the time of day or your lighting. And the battery last very very long if you keep the wifi turned off. If on, it curiously kills the battery within the same day, even on standby it just drains it. But you don't need it apart from storing more files. I havent tried udiobooks, not that I really cared for that, i typically listened to those on my phone on walks, or long car rides, etc. But, being a bit of a niche brand I suppose, finding covers and screen protectors at least on amazon is very limiting. Maybe by design since its a Kindle world. I found only ONE screen protector option here that was shipped from Germany. At least you know that's quality and is designed to actually last you, making up for the steeper price. It charges fairly quickly. Basically, it does all you need a reader to do. Which helped eliminate my annoyance of holding heavy books and traveling will be a breeze now without lugging anything around. I can read at night with ease. I should have gotten this years ago. And don't worry about it being future-proof or whatnot, Just get it if you're on the fence. These are readers, there's not that much innovation going around for what you need it to do. Unlike phones every couple of years, which are proper handheld computers vs a very specific function in mind device. ... show more

  • Used, not new product
Size: eReader Only Color: Black
It was used when I received this device, with smears on the screen and a previous users information loaded up into the settings system. I bought this to replace my Kobo Sage I had previously lost, however, I am disappointed that this was a used item, that I was under the impression was new. It works as well overall, and I was able to quickly log back into my Kobo account. ... show more
