@frostschutz,

A second set of test observations. I've just installed the July 23 version on my Forma in the last few minutes. Here are my Forma's current config settings.

Spoiler:

# -------------------------------------------------------------------
#   MiniClock config example file. For settings to take any effect,
#     copy or rename this file to .addons/miniclock/miniclock.cfg.
# -------------------------------------------------------------------

#
# To uninstall, set to 1
#
uninstall=0

#
# To debug, set to 1 (will print event parser)
#
debug=0

# listen to touchscreen events
# listen to button events (will patch nickel, only active after reboot)
# if you set both to 0, MiniClock will still show as per update frequency
#
touchscreen=0
button=1

#
# whitelist of accepted events that should update miniclock
# ABS:MT_POSITION_X/Y: touchscreen coordinates
# KEY:F23/F24: forma forward backward buttons (to be confirmed)
# KEY:POWER: going into standby manually
#
whitelist=ABS:MT_POSITION_X ABS:MT_POSITION_Y KEY:F23 KEY:F24 KEY:POWER

#
# cooldown num time
#
# after receiving num unrecognized events in a row,
# stop listening to all input for <time> seconds.
# (helps avoid power consumption during standby)
# 
cooldown=3 30

#
# Update frequency: (update once every 60 seconds)
#
update=60

#
# Delay: (update delay 1 second repeat 3 times)
#
delay=1 1 1

#
# Date format string ( see 'man strftime' )
#
# In addition may also use {month}, {day}, {battery}.
# (Look for battery and locale settings further below).
#
# {debug} will show the reason for miniclock update and uptime
#  one of (touch)screen, (butt)on, or update (freq)uency event
#
format=%H:%M [{battery}]

#
# Where to print the clock
#
offset_x=25
offset_y=1860

#
# Font:  (IBM, UNSCII, ALT, THIN, FANTASY, MCR, TALL, BLOCK,
#         LEGGIE, VEGGIE, KATES, FKP, CTRLD, ORP, ORPB, ORPI,
#         SCIENTIFICA, SCIENTIFICAB, SCIENTIFICAI)
#
font=SCIENTIFICAB

#
# Font Size:
#
size=3

#
# Color: (BLACK GRAY{1-9A-E} WHITE)
#
fg_color=GRAY4
bg_color=WHITE

#
# TrueType support:
#
# For fonts inside the MiniClock directory:
#     truetype=yourfont.ttf
#
# For fonts stored elsewhere in the filesystem:
#     truetype=/mnt/onboard/fonts/something.ttf

#
# Only set these if you use *italic*, **bold**, ***bold italic*** in your format string:
#
#     truetype_format=*%a* **%b** ***%d*** %H:%M
#     truetype_bold=yourfont-bold.ttf
#     truetype_italic=yourfont-italic.ttf
#     truetype_bolditalic=yourfont-bolditalic.ttf
#
# Technically, this can also be used for completely different font styles,
# instead of italic or bold variants of the same font.
#
# NOTE: Will fall back to regular mode when font file is unavailable.
#       (e.g. while the device is connected to USB)
#
#truetype=Avenir.ttf
truetype=/mnt/onboard/fonts/Trebuchet.ttf
truetype_size=8
#truetype_x=1330
truetype_x=1250
truetype_y=1878

#
# TrueType Padding helps prevent visual fragments to appear
# at the cost of adding extra whitespace. Set to 0 to disable.
#
truetype_padding=1

#
# NightMode support:
#
nightmode_file=/mnt/onboard/.kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf
nightmode_key=InvertScreen
nightmode_value=true

#
# Battery percentage value (0-100%)
#
# Use {battery} in the format string.
#
# Will only be used if the battery is between min max.
# Default: only shown when battery level drops to 50% and under.
battery_min=0
battery_max=100
battery_source=/sys/devices/platform/pmic_battery.1/power_supply/mc13892_bat/capacity

• At first glance the buttons seem to be working OK for me. What did surprise me was that touching the screen often (but not always) also brings up the time/battery display despite me having settings as
  

  touchscreen=0
  button=1

• A small cosmetic bug with the {battery} display. There is a double % character. My format setting is
  

  format=%H:%M [{battery}]

  but the current display is
  

  11:35 [94%%]

I'll test the battery drain once I've recharged the Forma back to 100%.

ETA follow-up:
I read normally for a little while. Turning the page via button works often, but not always. I haven't spotted a pattern of when it does/doesn't work.

There was no excessive battery drain whilst reading. I'm about to put it in standby mode for a few hours, using a sleepcover. I'll add more when I wake it up again.
