A pair of new e-readers from Kobo iterate on the company’s high-end options, adding Bluetooth audiobook and stylus support to the now familiar asymmetrical design of its larger devices. The Sage and Libra 2 also gain a new charging cover so you only have to plug the device in every few months rather than every few weeks.

The Sage is the higher-end of the two models, being an evolution of the Forma, which I reviewed here. The excellent 8″, 300 PPI screen and color-adjustable screen light are the same, so rest assured the reading experience will continue to be great. Likewise the Libra 2 is the sequel to the Libra H2O (they’re dropping the H2O, but it’s still waterproof), with the same type of display and light at 7″ instead. (If you want smaller, the Clara is still the best move.)
