Hello,
I was really happy with my PW2, but it has been stolen, so I'm about to buy a new one. I spend 2 hours reading every day, so I don't mind spending a little bit more money and improving my reading experience.

I liked the portability of PW2, but from comments in internet I've decided to buy a bigger screen. I own a Kindle DX myself, but I find it too heavy, and having low resolution and a very slow page turn. However, Oasis 2 and Kobo Forma seem to be much lighter and more compact.

I was about to buy an Oasis 2, when I saw in a video on Youtube that Kobo Forma has a much faster page turn: https://youtu.be/ATg9iLhj-Kg?t=108, and a pretty usable page flip.

This only feature could be enough for me to decide, but surfing the web I've found that kobo has serious limits regarding connectivity and highlight exportation, especially in:

-Importong personal documents in pdf, or epub via WIFI (in Kindle, sending them by email directly to the ebook. I know that it's possible to do it in Kobo via Calibre, but I find this procedure hasn't the simplicity of Kindle)

-Exporting highlights and annotations (in Kindle, transferring the myclippings.txt file to the computer, and even uploading it to www.myclippings.io to easily organize them by book)?

Am I right, or are there ways to bypass those limits? Is there anyone who has experienced both readers for a long time?

Thank you all
