Kobo Sage

In case anyone is curious, the kindle scribe pen doesn’t work on Kobo Sage. It’s a lovely device to hold, lighter than my Kindle Scribe.

!Honest Review! Being new to E-readers I struggled to figure out which one to use, however I eventually decided on Kobo and can confirm the Kobo Sage is a manga lover's dream, combining cutting-edge technology. Its sleek design, powerful performance, and vibrant display bring manga series to life. If you are struggling for space and love manga, I would recommend Kobo! Its great for double pages as it has an auto rotate feature!

Takes time to turn on. Have to keep the on button pushed in for about 4 seconds, but once you get the hang of it, is very good substitute for the printed word. Especially if you like to read in bed before sleep. menu is very intuitive, extremely easy to use. Bonus is you can borrow library books, and make handwritten notes / sketches, (if you buy the stylus) it works well but is slow, and is not any good for art work, just basic diagrams. There is some ghosting, but quickly disappears. Overall extremely pleased with purchase, there are improvements to be made, however nothing to stop me from recommending highly.

Tried multiple times to set wi fi up each time failing, I think it has to be charged more ok so went to my kobo acct on line and set it up easily. This is a big beautiful e-reader with 32 gig storage and I am in love with it, Just need to get stylus to write on ebooks the kindle scribe does not allow this boo kindle scribe

I had a Kobo Aura one that lasted 5 years before dying, so 18 months ago I bought a Kindle Oasis (not cheap) to replace it. After just over a year the corners have faded considerably in it, and so I swore I'd never buy another Kindle. The Sage is the device I should have bought the first time. Big screen, stylus support and Overdrive and supports much more ebook formats.

DO NOT BUY !! I bought this e reader only 3 months ago, along with the standard case to keep it protected. I have made sure to take good care of it, I haven’t dropped it and I have a further case to keep it in when travelling and yet the screen has broken and it is completely unusable. I got in contact with the service team who basically told me to do one, they said physical damage isn’t in the warranty and that the parts aren’t replaceable. All they offered me was a £20 coupon to buy another e-reader that was one of their cheaper ones. Absolutely sickening, £200+ down the drain, this company is a scam.

Kobo Reader model Sage has proved to be problematic. The device often goes to sleep, but does not power down automatically. It is best to hold the power button in until the Powered Off message. Otherwise the Sage is OK bar the slow bootup. There is a workaround to be able to install your own DRM free books so you are not tied to the Kobo Library.

The size and weight were ideal for my arthritic hands. Thankyou
