As an upgrade gift for a lady still using a Sony PRS T1 6", which would be the best choice? -- 7" Libra or 8" Forma or 7.8" Aura One.

Thanks.
Any reader will be an improvement on the PRS-T1 (which was my first reader), except for the dictionaries. She will need some time to get used to a very different software, but buttons might help.

I'd say not the Aura One, which is much heavier.

Perhaps the Libra if your lady uses it a lot on the go, or her eyes allow her to read small characters.

I love my Forma: it is light but it allows me to leave a decent margin (I think it looks better), while having a similar quantity of text to a paper book. It is also better to read poetry, PDFs, books with maps or tables or such. Its only problem for me is the battery - but I do read an unconscionable number of hours at a time. I'm disappointed that the 7" Libra has almost the same weight as the 8" Forma while having the same 1200 mAh battery - I wish it had the 1500 mAh of previous models.
