"2022 - 2024 with 0 discontinued". Sorry, I meant to say "Readers MADE between 2022-2024.
Kobos are impressing me more and more. I just wish they made 8" ereaders. 7.8" at least. I also do not want a color eReader. I guess I will wait for another year to see what comes out. |

Kobo does make an 8" model. It's called Kobo Sage, and many people here have one.

I looked at the Sage, but people said the battery did not last as long as other ereaders. Smaller battery. I am guessing that Kobo might fix that in the future. Maybe?

Unlikely that the battery will be changed since that would require a whole new cycle of approvals. A smaller battery ( 1200mAH) and a quad core CPU with the infamous Sunxi power management are not a great recipe for long battery life. For my uses, I find the battery lasts long enough—I seldom read more that 10 hours without pause—and it charges faster than most of my older Kobo devices.

What level of changes would need a new approval cycle? Would making it a repairable device need re-submission? Because they seem to have committed to that for future devices.

IIRC the Forma also has the small battery, but it doesn't have the Sage's reputation for poor battery life, because the Forma uses the same slow CPU as the older Libra and Clara models. It's the Sage's CPU that's the real problem, and Kobo will probably swap that out for the Sage 2.
