Calibre 6.26.0 free downloads2/15/2024 Will they adopt the new Carta 1300 e-paper screen? Kobo was one of the first companies to adopt Carta 1200 in the Sage and Libra 2, so it would make sense for the new devices to employ better quality e-paper. They told me this on many occasions during interviews. Will these two new e-readers have a colour E INK screen? I don’t think so Kobo has been firmly against Kaleido since the colours look too washed out. They will remain waterproof so that you can use them at the beach or bathtub without worry. I expect the Libra 2e and Sage 2e will be made of 85% recycled plastic and 10% ocean-bound plastic, such as water bottles and CDs/DVDs. Rakuten Kobo has been on a substantial environmental push and told me in an interview that all future devices will be sourced from recycled plastic. Kobo likely knows the battery on the Sage was abysmal and will likely double it. The Sage was good at release but suffered from battery issues, primarily because Kobo stuck a tiny one in it (1,2000 mAh) things were so bad that Kobo had to develop a special case that had a battery in it, which would power the Sage, once the primary battery rain out of charge. The Kobo Sage and Kobo Libra 2 both came out at the same time, in October 2021. Specs are embargoed for six months, however it does have USB-C, Bluetooth 5.1, WIFI 2/5. This e-reader will likely be the Kobo Sage 2e, with a much larger battery. The second upcoming Kobo e-reader has a model name of N365. Both of these devices should be released in June 2024. Towards the end of December 2023, Kobo submitted a second FCC application for an entirely new e-reader. The first device had an FCC application submitted in October and industry insiders think it would likely be the Rakuten Kobo Libra 2e. Kobo plans on releasing at least two new e-readers in 2024.
