Kobo Sage
Accessories
Cases, styluses and lights worth owning.
The Sage is large and a little heavy, so a case that doubles as a stand earns its place. The Kobo Stylus is only worth it if you plan to take notes. The Power Cover adds a second battery and a lot of bulk and cost, and most people do not need it. Picks are grouped by type below, with a note on which are cut for this device and which fit any reader.

Screen protector for the Kobo Sage
A matte film cut for the Sage's 8-inch screen. The e-ink surface is already matte, so this is about scratch resistance and, for some, a slightly firmer feel when writing with the stylus.
