Pros and cons

According to our e-reader expert

Thanks to the waterproof casing, you can read at the beach or in the bath without any worries.
ComfortLight PRO automatically adjusts the screen backlight to the ambient light and filters blue light.
The 8-inch screen is larger than the screen of the Libra 2, so you can read even more comfortably.
You don't receive an adapter to charge via a socket, only a USB-C cable.
The Kobo Sage doesn't have a color screen, so you see images in black and white.

Description

With the Kobo Sage, you can comfortably finish your favorite books in one sitting. The e-reader has a large 8-inch screen, so the text is easy to read and you don't have to flip to the next page as often. The screen is easy on the eyes as well. That's because the ComfortLight PRO screen technology filters blue light and automatically adjusts the screen backlight and color temperature to the ambient light. You can easily read in the bath or at the beach, because the device has a waterproof casing. Thanks to Bluetooth support, you can also listen to audio books on the Kobo Sage. The e-reader also supports the separately available Kobo Stylus. With this stylus, you can easily take notes while you read or tap a word to search its meaning. With 32GB storage, you have enough room for a large digital book collection of up to 30,000 books.

Our expert review

A large e-reader on which I read but also take notes.

Big screen
nice design
Easy to take notes with the stylus
Big for one hand

The Kobo Sage is a large e-reader with useful features, such as the ability to listen to audiobooks and take notes with the Kobo stylus. Due to the large size, I hold the e-reader less comfortably with one hand.

Big format The first thing I like about the Kobo Sage is its size. The device has an 8 inch screen. I also have a lot of space, so I can easily set a larger font without having to scroll a lot. Thanks to the physical buttons, I can quickly flip through a book. The e-reader has screen rotation, so you can have the buttons on both the left and right side. As a left-hander, I also use the device very comfortably. The disadvantage of the size is that it is more difficult to operate the e-reader with one hand. While reading this is not so bad, but it is annoying when I am looking for a new book, for example. The device has a very sleek appearance for an e-reader and reacts relatively quickly.

Quick and easy note taking with the Kobo stylus A great feature of the Sage is its compatibility with the Kobo Stylus. With this stylus, I take notes in books and quickly mark passages. As a result, I hardly notice any difference between reading on an e-reader versus a real book. I find it especially useful when I read a book to learn something. I quickly make some notes in the margins. All notes in the book are clearly displayed in a menu, so that I can quickly read back interesting pieces of text. I also keep a digital notepad on my e-reader, for example when I make a to do list. I then easily convert handwritten text into typed text. I do think that you have to learn a lot how to use the pen. There are several useful functions in the pen, but I don't always manage to use them. In addition, the e-reader sometimes responds a bit slowly to the stylus. You should not expect it to go as smoothly as, for example, a tablet with a stylus.

audiobooks I also listen to audiobooks on the Kobo Sage. This is a nice option for when I don't feel like reading. I then quickly connect wireless headphones and listen to my favorite books hands-free.

Beautiful but definitely not perfect

Nice screen size
Good reading functions
Nice extras (audio, stylus)
Screen is not evenly lit (!)

I was looking for the best possible e-reader, and you seem to have arrived at this. Now I don't use the audiobook function myself, nor do I use the stylus function. But the 8-inch screen is just the right size for me (pity there are so few options in that size), the design is beautiful and everything works just a little faster than with the e-readers from five years ago.

But: there is something strange going on with e-ink and e-readers. The Sage has a fast processor and apparently a top-of-the-bill screen, but you still get the feeling that you are being thrown twenty years back in time compared to today's smartphones and tablets. The scroll buttons do not always work, the 'turning' of a page is certainly not super fast (although fast enough), and above all: the screen is illuminated more strongly on the side of the buttons than on the other, so that when using the background lighting is always a clearly perceptible variation in brightness. Is it really not possible in 2022 to build a solid backlit screen in such an expensive flagship device? Incomprehensible...

Nice but buttons are not useful

Beautiful design
Big format
Slow

Bought this e-reader after using the Kobo Clara HD for a few years. There was nothing wrong with that, but for my job I regularly read proofs in PDF so the main reason for buying a new e-reader was because I needed a larger format. After long hesitation (especially the price held me back), I bought this Kobo Sage. First impression very good, looks nicer and more luxurious than the Clara and I can now read the PDFs much easier. Only the e-reader is sometimes slow, especially during startup, and the buttons don't work very well, so I sometimes have to press a few times before the page turns. For the price it could have been better.
