Mine arrived today - it's the 32gb Japanese Forma. Some random observations:
- Screen size improvement is quite insignificant. However the new form factor is closer to a square or 4:3 ratio and makes reading more pleasant to me. The Aura One form factor is way too similar to a 16:9 Android tablet for my taste.
- IIRC, when I first got the device, I can turn it on/off without having to swipe. After patching the firmware I need to swipe. Too lazy to double check by reseting.
- Kobo advertises, and there are video of the "2-pages mode". Basically if you read manga and use the device in landscape mode, it automatically change into a 2-page view (double pages is displayed correctly - no rotation/zoomed out). However, this doesn't work with my sideloaded .cbz files. Probably unfinished features or it only works with retail books for now.
- I tried the included USB cable and it works fine.
Aura One - Forma - Oasis 2 for comparison.
