Product description

You can charge your e-reader with the Kobo Sage + BlueBuilt Charger. 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. With 32GB storage capacity, you have enough space for a large digital bookshelf of over 30,000 books. You charge your e-reader with the included charger and cable.

Note: you need to create a Kobo account to use a Kobo e-reader.

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...

Highly recommended, I am very happy with it!

  • screen quality, looks very nice, photos too
  • automatic screen adjustment in the dark
  • possibility of white text on black, for at night
  • not encountered yet

So I'm clearly very satisfied, it's my fourth reader (second kobo) so quite a bit of experience, but this is by far the best so far. Especially for the screen, it is very pleasant to read and easy to adjust. It's faster than my previous one. The notes feature is definitely special, but I haven't used it much yet. The screen is slightly larger than I had, now an A4 (pdf) is readable, which is nice!
