I've now been reading on the Forma for a while and I really like it:
* it is light: 197 g compared to 230 g for the One, and 207 g for the 6.8" H2o2; since the Clara is so slippery, I use it with its stand-up case which makes it 267 g
* it is versatile: when reading I change hands with no hassle, and alternate between buttons and tap/slide on the screen
* the buttons are very good for skimming through dictionaries screens and book lists
* I can at long last read those PDFs I'd put aside, and I've even gone back to the non cropped version for some of them. I don't know why it is better than it felt on the One (I can't compare since mine is dead) since it is hardly bigger, and whether it is due to a better screen and/or a better F/W.
In very dim ambient light I notice the band along the leds, but mostly I forget it when I read. It is somewhat broader than the very thin and short light bleed on my Clara which is much less noticeable than some photos I've seen.
It doesn't feel fragile, and I've used it on the go (in my handbag, a different pocket from keys)
