I have Kobo Sage but it's not a great device.
Very bad battery life. Maybe 8hrs of reading with wifi off, BT off and only low screen backlight. I need to charge it daily or every other day at best.
Physical buttons are comically bad and often don't register presses.
Built-in book reading app is slow, lacks some critical features and hangs in many epub books. I replaced it with KOreader which finally made the device usable.
It's a great screen size though (9" would be even better).

This seems like a wildly different experience than I have with it. I don't read 8 hours per day, but typically 1-2 hours per day, and charge it every 2-3 weeks.
- code-blooded 1mo agoThanks! I'll look into why my battery is draining so fast.
- Marsymars 1mo agoYeah, I mean I'd be interested... but you've got wifi/BT off, so I don't even know what would be taking up much battery otherwise. My light levels are probably 50/50 6% (at night in bed) and ~33% (other times). I did briefly buy a Kobo remote and found that having bluetooth on for that was very bad for my battery life.
- jay_kyburz 2mo agoi would return it, there is something wrong with your battery
- jjkaczor 1mo agoI got about the same - then I got a power-cover and it lasts far longer, it was a worthwhile investment. Although after about 2-years, the pogo-pins are wearing out and sometimes it doesn't connect/charge. The physical buttons were also great - for the first year, then they started wearing out.
