I've a PW3 and it's always been poorer than Kobo when not used (standby). I've not been conscious of any charge life issue with the Sage compared to PW3, H2O original, Libra or Libra 2.
Thanks, I did wonder how much of a "real" issue the battery life would be with the Sage, if used just for reading.
Using my 2016 bought Kobo Aura One and the battery life is still good, but that has got me accustomed to the larger screens. My wife has recently acquired a Libre 2 and whilst she thoroughly enjoys that the downsize in screen size, might be marginal, is something that I would prefer not to do.
The Sage does seem ideal for my needs.
