Kobo Clara Colour and Kobo Sage E-Readers Out of Stock in U.S. Markets
Dive into the world of electronic reading with Kobo's online store, where you can grab e-readers, including the latest generation and refurbished models. However, the Kobo Clara Colour and the Kobo Sage are currently out of stock and unavailable for purchase, with the Clara Colour expected to remain out of stock until summer 2025 for US-based customers. This leads to speculation about the status of the Kobo Sage, as its product page does not mention the "out of stock with restock expected" message like some other models.
Introduced in 2021, the Sage stood out as Kobo's premium e-reader, flaunting a massive 8-inch screen. Its hybrid functionality combines the best of ebook readers and e-notebooks, allowing for seamless note-taking and annotating. The Sage also supports the Kobo Stylus, enabling users to jot down thoughts and draw directly on eBooks, manga, and PDF files. Moreover, the Sage boasts a dedicated note-taking app for freehand drawing and solving complex math equations.
The Sage's audiobook capabilities set it apart, with built-in Bluetooth technology for wireless headphone or external speaker usage. Users can even access the Kobo Store's audiobook section to purchase and listen to audiobooks directly on the device.
