Solide et agréable à utiliser. On y retrouve les mêmes ajustements que les autres Kobo (ex. taille des caractère, luminosité). Par contre, la dimension de l'écran est plus grande ce qui rend la lecture agréable et plus proche de la lecture avec un livre papier. J'aime particulièrement qu'il y ait les boutons de contrôle pour tourner les pages et qu'ils soient bien accessibles en surface. Il est également possible d'utiliser la télécommande Kobo. Il est intéressant que l'étui de la liseuse soit fixé par un aimant à son étui ce qui facilite son retrait de l'étui. Je n'ai pas utilisé l'appareil depuis plusieurs mois et il a gardé une partie de sa charge pour 1 heure de lecture (le nombre d'heures disponible pour la lecture est indiqué). Le seul élément négatif est que le bouton d'activation de l'appareil est au dos de la liseuse et qu'il faut retirer l'étui chaque faut qu'on veut y accéder pour la mise en veille de l'appareil Review: Couldn't be better! - Easy to use and comfortable to eyes. Highly recommend!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Kobo | | Connectivity technology | Wi-Fi | | Display technology | Electronic Ink | | Memory storage capacity | 32 GB | | Model name | Sage | | Screen size | 8 Inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kobo - **Connectivity technology:** Wi-Fi - **Display technology:** Electronic Ink - **Model name:** Sage - **Screen size:** 8 Inches ## Images ![Sage | eReader | 8” HD Glare Free Touchscreen | Waterproof | Adjustable Brightness and Color Temperature | Blue Light Reduction | Bluetooth | WiFi | 32GB of Storage | Carta E Ink Technology - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810eiVCOl6L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can i download and read pdf file on the device?** A: Yes. You can drag and drop them from your computer, or better yet use Calibre to convert, edit, find alternative covers, or simply import your e-books. **Q: can you add a memory card?** A: It's a fine e-reader, and I haven't needed extra storage, but to answer your question: no, to the best of my knowledge, my Kobo Sage does NOT have a memory card expansion slot or capability. **Q: Can you read kindle books on this reader? I want a larger screen, but kindle does not offer a larger kindle :(** A: Not without hacking your Kindle books. I would not recommend doing that. My advice: If you need a bigger screen, get a Fire tablet with a 10.1" screen. Not only will it work with Kindle books, but it will also do a lot more: watching movies, playing games, taking pictures and videos, and much more. **Q: Is there a browser to surf the web? can i download books in epubs from any websites on the web? not from kobo and not from the library. thanks!** A: The browser isn't capable of properly displaying every web site but a site like Gutenberg works just fine..,epubs download directly to your Kobo. From your phone/tablet/PC, you can also load epubs into Dropbox and they will download to your Sage's built in Dropbox section. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent produit *by M***E on 17 March 2026* Excellent produit.

Highly recommend!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I forgot how fun it is to read *by E***E on 15 November 2024* I love this E-reader. Now that I have a new job I can splurge a little and treated myself to buying a reader. And it's everything I hoped for and more. The font customization is excellent, you can install additional ones downloaded online. The right font for you will make reading MUCH MORE enjoyable and not tiresome, trust me. I downloaded the Atkinson Hyperilegible font set, and it's just soooo smooth for your eyes. I decided to plow through the Game of Thrones series to be my Kobo's hazing, and trying to read those books in the published font just feels tedious and punishing when I can finally pick and choose. Obviously font sizing, margins, line spacing, it has everything to make it just right for you. I got this over the Kindle because I have a library card and can just load stuff for free from there if needed. It has its own bookstore too if you need. But, I just download EPUB files from annas archive website - google it, not sure if links are allowed in reviews. Theres a huge reddit compilation of where to source any type of reading material and audiobooks you'd want. You can load the Kobo through a connected online drive like google or overdrive, etc. its 32 GB, and unless you cram it with hundreds of audibooks, I have no idea how many books you'd need to run out of space on this. Not that most people would ever need, but I wonder why they didn't put in a SD card slot too. Theres ample room on this nicely sized device. The dictionary function is awesome, I had no idea how much of an extensive vocabulary GRR Martin employs. All you do is hold down the word - and voila, no internet required. Obviously you can change the color intensity from bluer to redder depending on the time of day or your lighting. And the battery last very very long if you keep the wifi turned off. If on, it curiously kills the battery within the same day, even on standby it just drains it. But you don't need it apart from storing more files. I havent tried udiobooks, not that I really cared for that, i typically listened to those on my phone on walks, or long car rides, etc. But, being a bit of a niche brand I suppose, finding covers and screen protectors at least on amazon is very limiting. Maybe by design since its a Kindle world. I found only ONE screen protector option here that was shipped from Germany. At least you know that's quality and is designed to actually last you, making up for the steeper price. It charges fairly quickly. Basically, it does all you need a reader to do. Which helped eliminate my annoyance of holding heavy books and traveling will be a breeze now without lugging anything around. I can read at night with ease. I should have gotten this years ago. And don't worry about it being future-proof or whatnot, Just get it if you're on the fence. These are readers, there's not that much innovation going around for what you need it to do. Unlike phones every couple of years, which are proper handheld computers vs a very specific function in mind device. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kobo Sage | eReader | 8” HD Glare Free Touchscreen | Waterproof | Adjustable Brightness and Color Temperature | Blue Light Reduction | Bluetooth | WiFi | 32GB of Storage | Carta E Ink Technology - Kobo Sage SleepCover Case | Light Green | Sleep/Wake Technology | Built-in 2-Way Stand | Vegan Leather | Compatible with 8” Kobo Sage eReader --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/376976587-sage-ereader-8-hd-glare-free-touchscreen-waterproof-adjustable-brightness](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/376976587-sage-ereader-8-hd-glare-free-touchscreen-waterproof-adjustable-brightness) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
