The [Kobo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kobo-elipsa-pack-ereader) Sage eReader is the latest hardware offering from the brand that will provide users with a way to better interact with content and more. The device features an E Ink Carta 1200 display that is supported by the [ComfortLight Pro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rakuten-kobo-clara-bw) feature that will automatically adjust the color and brightness according to the time of day. The eReader can be used for jotting down notes with the [optional Kobo stylus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boox-go-7-e-ink-tablets) to let users make changes to their documents or the text they're reading.

The Kobo Sage eReader provides Bluetooth support to help users connect their favorite wireless headphones for listening to Kobo audiobooks from anywhere. The unit offers 32GB of internal storage, is powered by a quad-core 1.8 GHz processor and features a USB-C port for transferring data and charging.
