Of course, Kobo has a history of using their larger-screened readers as their premium device and I can't fault them. But I sure would like the same device in a 6" form factor.
I still do have concerns about the shape of the device. At first blush, it looks more awkward than the Oasis. The Oasis is ugly because it was designed to be comfortable to hold. The Forma, with that wedge on the front putting the buttons on a decline away from your thumb doesn't seem right. And putting the power button where your palm rests? I don't know, Kobo...
I'm curious to see what the reviewers make of it. |
Yeah, the shape is off-putting. I have the Oasis2 and it's not the least bit comfortable to hold plus has awkward button placement. I like the idea of a lighter, less fragile 8" Kobo, but not a fan of the squarish shape. It also looks like the buttons would be easy to accidentally press if you rarely use buttons.
I'll see what reviewers say. Maybe order from Walmart if reviews are positive, return if I hate it.
There's certainly no rush, I haven't damaged an ereader yet, and my Aura ONE is great. Wish they'd made it with a normal shape and Voyage style buttons that could be turned off.
