Hello there, wish I had found these forums before they seem very helpful.

I'm going to retire my Nook touch with silly light appendage. I'd like an ereader with a bigger screen so some of the 7.8 inch models look quite nice. At the moment I'm swayed between the kobo forma and the Mars likebook. But to be perfectly honest I really don't think the SD card slot wi-fi and Bluetooth are much use to me, all I want to do is lie in bed and read a book and as such I know I'll find an Android e-reader possibly a distraction to focusing on reading if you catch my drift.

The vast majority of my ebooks collection are ePub format and I certainly will not consider Kindle in any shape or form. I really like the look of the forma, it's just a little bit pricey here in the UK although cost isn't an issue.

I don't really read comics on an e-reader and I won't use PDFs. Bluetooth is a nice touch as I do listen to audiobooks but again it's kind of bothering me that having an e reader with Bluetooth will distract me from purely reading. I can use my phone for that.

Any feedback appreciated.
