Well i have some very bad news for people who wish to purchase the forma.
Got my device today thinking the guy in the video i posted earlier must of just had a faulty device and i did a 240fps iphone slo-mo record just like him and mine is doing exactly the same thing!
Here's my kobo:

It does this on all brightness levels except with brightness and natural light both at 100%,i.e when all the leds are on.
As far as i understand this is PWM (Pulse width modulation) which is the worst culprit of eye fatigue and headaches ,totally beats the point of an ereader!
Kobo have really screwed up here as the design of the device itself is the best of any ereader i have purchased in the past and i'm quite saddened by this!
A part of me really wants to keep it but as i do alot of reading at night i can't keep the device at 100% brightness so it's going back i'm afriad.
I'm thinking of making a seperate post about this as i know people buy ereaders because they want a comfortable reading experiance and this has ruined the kobo forma!
