![]() Not a huge issue but a strange design decision considering the Libra 2 has a hole in the back of the SleepCover to allow the e-reader to be turned on after going to sleep. It would be nice if a double tap of the display or a similar gesture turned the display on. The SleepCover for the Sage hides the power button so if the e-reader goes to sleep (or you do) while the SleepCover is open the only way to turn it back on is to cover the display again with the SleepCover and then open it again. ![]() If you are unlikely to ever need stylus support or don’t mind plugging your reader into your PC to drop books onto it, it is difficult to justify that price difference.Īside from the price, the SleepCover, which I highly recommend and suggest it should be in fact essential, is not ideally designed. The Kobo Sage is priced at $440 whereas the Libra 2 is priced at $280 which is a massive difference for only a few relatively small upgrades. The differences listed above obviously lead to a difference in price. You can do it all from your smartphone even without having to turn a single PC on. No more requirement to plug it into your PC and drag and drop books onto it whenever you wanted to read something. If you are someone who gets their books from sources other than the Kobo store or want to read a lot of PDFs on your Kobo then this Dropbox support is immensely useful. Then all you need to do is drop books and other material into that Dropbox folder using your PC, smartphone etc and they appear on the Kobo list of books after a sync (performed manually yourself or automatically at a later time). when you enable it on the e-reader and log in, it creates a Kobo folder within your Dropbox storage. The Sage has support for Dropbox and it is easy to use. ![]() Pages turn faster, menus respond faster, and the interface just feels a lot more fluid compared to the Libra 2.Īside from the support for notes discussed above the main software difference between the two Kobo e-readers is the Dropbox support. The Sage has a faster operating system, although it is the same as the Libra 2. Instead of a 1GHz processor, the Sage is powered by a quad-core 1.8GHz chipset and the difference is very noticeable. The final hardware difference is the faster processor. ![]()
