Kobo Libra is the embodiment of your reading style.

Packed with features and personality and storage for all of your eBooks Kobo Libra was made to do more. An ergonomic design keeps your reading life on hand and page turn buttons keep the story going while you sip your coffee, stir your signature pasta sauce, or nurse your newborn so you can read on and on, no matter what.

Kobo Sage is the most accomplished eReader ever. Designed to inspire you with every read, Kobo Sage delivers every feature Kobo offers in one sleek package, plus Bluetooth so you can listen to Kobo Audiobooks. The luxurious 8" HD flush E Ink Carta 1200 touchscreen delivers superior performance and depth of contrast, with zero glare.
Kobo Libra and Kobo Sage are both e-ink readers with a touchscreen, adjustable ComfortLight PRO backlight. Both devices support Wi-Fi, have a USB-C port, are waterproof (according to the IPX8 standard), have physical buttons for turning pages, support EPUB, PDF, MOBI and other ebook formats and integrate with Instapaper for reading articles
But Kobo Libra has a more compact 7-inch screen, a lighter body. It holds a charge longer due to the smaller screen. It has fewer functions (the main thing is that there is no built-in support for audiobooks) and memory, but the price is lower. Unlike Sage that has a flush display, Libra has a recessed display that attracts fewer fingerprint smudges
Kobo Sage has an 8-inch screen, supports Kobo Stylus stylus for notes (you can make handwritten notes directly on books and documents) and the ability to listen to audiobooks via Bluetooth. A more powerful processor provides faster performance, especially when working with PDF and large documents. There is also Dropbox support for file synchronization
