I've had some extended reading sessions with the Forma using the lights and so far haven't had any ill effects, but perhaps I'm not as susceptible as others.
It's true not everyone is perceptible to flicker/pwm but i'm pretty sure it's still doing something negative to your eyes.

Thanks for confirming that this is now obviously by design and not a technical fault,the fact that it doesn't happen on 100% brightness already confirmed it was pwm to me anyway as almost all devices such as laptops ect that use pwm normaly stop flickering at 100%.

As someone who avoids pwm like the plague i am not only annoyed the forma has flickering but now that it has entered the eink arena any devices from here on out are going to have to be tested for this before i consider purchasing one.
