Just received my Forma, and must say I have mixed feelings about it. I really like the form factor and the screen has a much more uniform light distribution than the Aura One. I actually don’t find the light band that annoying (and it should be very easy fixable by applying a narrow line of black electrical tape). What annoys me the most, which I haven’t seen mentioned here, is the noise coming from the grip side of the device. It is a very high-pitched noise, like coil whine from a graphic card or GPU. I have to take off my hat to Kobo, succeeding in making an e-book ready make coil whine. The noise is at the highest when the Forma is “thinking”, so I found that turning off wifi significantly reduces the noise. If the noise doesn’t get worse I think I’ll keep the device and just leave wifi turned off most of the time..
Damnit Kobo..
