Well, everyone's entitled to their opinion. For myself, I'm finding it impossible to care whether there's a faint grey 3mm band down the right margin where I have no text. At least it's a uniform band. I see no sign whatsoever of the more traditional triangular "light cones" or irregular blotches seen on some previous devices from various manufacturers.

Also, for those who like really low brightness, the 1% level is noticeably lower on the Forma than it is on the KA1 - but not as low as 1% on the ClaraHD.

As for colour temperature ... when ramped up to 100% my Forma has a far more even colour than my KA1 (which resembles a Tequila Sunrise with most of the grenadine sunk to the bottom left corner ). Colour-wise it's a lot less orange than the KA1 and quite similar to the more yellow ClaraHD.


Regarding page turn buttons ... for some reason I was expecting them to work only when turning the pages of a book. I'm highly delighted to find they also work when paging through the various book lists. At last! No more accidentally opening a book when trying to swipe-scroll through the list.

The buttons also work when turning "pages" in:
- dictionary (pop-up & fullscreen modes)
- Author names list and Collection names list
- a multi-page synopsis on the Book Details page
