OT but how JB manage to sell any readers is beyond me their displays are always a total disgrace often no power no wifi covered in dust
I can get to three of their stores easily. One tends to have the devices setup and working. One usually has on device on display but not setup. They had the Clara HD and I nearly did the setup myself but didn't want to hang around as the firmware downloaded. I did talk to someone about this and he said that a rep of some sort was supposed to visit and do the setup. The last store has only had covers on display for a while and even those disappeared recently.

Do you have the Kobo cover on yours?
Yes and it works well. The only issue for me is that because I tended to hold the Forma in my left hand with the buttons on the left, it opens the wrong way compared to the other devices. That and I tend to play with the edge of the cover that is under my finger. As it is segments for the stand, I kept pushing that part down and putting my finger between it and the back of the cover. No real problem, just a bad habit of playing with edges and imperfections under my fingers. It was worse with the Glo as I could feel the edge of the external SD card and would keep ejecting it.
