Review: Really enjoying my Kobo Sage after putting it through its paces for the last week and a half or so. I was looking for an ergonomic alternative to the Kindle Oasis, as I think not having a USB-C port is atrociously dated, and wasn't about to put up with that. At a quick review, the Sage does everything I want it to. Fantastic screen, adjusts between blue and orange lighting automatically, it feels sturdy and stable, well-made. The buttons and grip allow for me to use and read while doing all sorts of things, and the foldable cover is wonderful for propping up and looking at while occupied with both hands. The store is perfectly serviceable, though I've just been side-loading my existing ebooks through Calibre, which is an absolute breeze. The big thing people ask about is battery life. There was a slight known issue with battery life, and I feel that it has been resolved to a very acceptable level. The overall battery capacity is a little less than desired, so I knocked a star off, but it should be wonderful for those who are simply using this as a reading device. Update the firmware, fully power cycle a couple of times, and I'm now getting several days of reading out of it, probably 3+ hours per day, before getting low. Keep bluetooth and wifi off unless needed, and you'll be fine. My understanding is that annotations and writing will significantly reduce battery life, so please keep that in mind - I would not recommend this for writing. Pros: Ergonomic and high-quality feeling Screen brightness and quality are very high The side-grip is an absolute godsend, compared to normal ereader models. I love it just like the Oasis. USB-C (yay) Minor gripes: Sometimes the screen rotation is a bit slow. I suspect the gyroscope is slightly lower quality, but it doesn't take much beyond a firmer tilt to fix, so this is a non-issue for me. The only other problem I've run into has only happened once, so I can't yet say if it's a problem or just a minor but that occurred, but the screen did stop responding once, along with the buttons, and I had to turn it off and on again to resolve. Expensive Ultimately, I'm quite happy with the purchase, and would happily buy another, assuming that this one stands the test of time.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i download and read pdf file on the device?**
A: Yes. You can drag and drop them from your computer, or better yet use Calibre to convert, edit, find alternative covers, or simply import your e-books.

**Q: can you add a memory card?**
A: It's a fine e-reader, and I haven't needed extra storage, but to answer your question: no, to the best of my knowledge, my Kobo Sage does NOT have a memory card expansion slot or capability.

**Q: Can you read kindle books on this reader? I want a larger screen, but kindle does not offer a larger kindle :(**
A: Not without hacking your Kindle books. I would not recommend doing that. My advice: If you need a bigger screen, get a Fire tablet with a 10.1" screen. Not only will it work with Kindle books, but it will also do a lot more: watching movies, playing games, taking pictures and videos, and much more.

**Q: Is there a browser to surf the web?  can i download books in epubs from any websites on the web? not from kobo and not from the library. thanks!**
A: The browser isn't capable of properly displaying every web site but a site like Gutenberg works just fine..,epubs download directly to your Kobo.  From your phone/tablet/PC, you can also load epubs into Dropbox and they will download to your Sage's built in Dropbox section.
