The 8-inch Kobo Sage helps you relive the experience of making margin notes in a book, but it's a bit awkward to handle compared with 7-inch and 10-inch ebook readers.

Awkward size; No way to export stylus annotations on books

Excellent ereader

Really like this device. Very quick to turn on. Page turn is almost instant and screen is delight to read. Only downside is the Kobo Desktop App which is pretty terrible but device works well with Calibre
