I do also have a Libra original.

I might loan the Elipsa instead. Surely harder to misplace and I find it useless.

I wonder should I buy a spare Sage?

This sounds like an old person scenario.
"They don't sell those plaid polyester slacks anymore, so the next time I find them on sale I'm going to buy a case!"

But seriously, we all run into this. "This is good enough. Why won't they leave it alone?" I'm worried that overall devices will get less hackable. It would be easy for them to clamp down on any modification at all. I just don't know when to buy my case of ereaders.

It's not. It's more like discovering ALL denim Levis are now only polyester slacks.
The Libra Colour is totally inferior to the Libra or Libra 2 or Sage for reading novels. What if they do the same with the Sage? There is no denim 7″ Kobo now, only a fake denim made of nylon.

I would not buy a spare Sage. You could end up buying one and Kobo could turn around and come out with a new updated Sage.

This is a different scenario. The Libra 2 is no longer available in the UK. So if the L2 was to be damaged, it could not be replaced. There is no suitable replacement.

When I was using my Aura H2O, I always had an option to buy another if mine was to become damaged. Then the Libra 2 came out and the Aura H2o was discontinued. I bought the Libra 2. Now there is no Libra 2 and the Libra Colour is no replacement.
