Am I dreaming ?

It's a judgment call for sure. A lot of people say $300 for a larger screen ereader, that's outrageous when you can get passable cheaper Android tablets for under $200, and deluxe tablets (like the Huawei Mediapad M5 8", and the Ipad Mini) in the $290 to $399 range.
Other people are hardcore readers, and also value the big beautiful screen and e-ink reading experience enough to spend $300 for it. I am firmly in that camp, the cost was not the main consideration. If that sounds like you too, I bet you'll like the Forma. And if you're gonna spend that much anyway, and have a LOT of ebooks and like to keep all those on your device at the same time, it's probably worth at least considering the 32GB version that you can get directly from the Kobo site, it's another $50 at $329. I haven't seen the Forma go on sale at all, but maybe it will.
