3. You get a better reading experience with PDFs.
But now I wonder if I really need the larger Forma. So my question for those who have a Forma and a smaller Kobo device:
1. Why did you end up with multiple Kobos?
2. When do you use the Forma? When do you use your smaller Kobo?

Why did I end up with multiple Kobos? Hmmm... updating over the years from the first Kobo without Wifi though it did support Bluetooth to a Blackberry. Thouhg there have been accusations that I am an ereader collector. As my eyes age, I find myself using larger font sizes so the larger screen ereaders allow me to see the same amount of text on the screen. Currently I'm swapping between my Aura One and Clara HD for reading. The Aura One is my goto reader, the Clara HD is when I'm sitting outside enjoying lunch on a sunny day -- I wouldn't mind its loss or damage as much. Both live in my laptop bag along with a few other devices so the weight is not really an issue.
When do I use the Forma? I did get to use it for a few hours before my wife "borrowed" it. She is still very happy with it. Lighter than the Aura One and she likes the page turn buttons. Unless I hold the Aura One and the Forma side by side, the difference in screen size is hard to see.
