Hi there!

I also have a Forma. Best e-reader I've owned yet! Flickering on the device is non-existent in reality (to my eyes and many others in these forums). There is a "grey stripe" where the screen meets the side of the body with the buttons, but the lighting across the rest of the device is very even on mine, especially for a larger screen device. It took about 5 minutes after using it the first time to disregard it anytime I use it since my text display settings don't ever display text in that very small stripe of the screen.

Overall, a great device. As @NiLuJe says, buying from a physical location where you could easily return if you want would be best, but in the US, I haven't found a way to order the 32GB one at Walmart, just the 8GB Forma is available. Don't know if that's an issue for you.
