I guess this new Libra kind of answers a few questions about the success of the Forma. Now both Kobo's high end and medium range readers are "Oasis-like." Apparently people like page-turning buttons. I'm guessing this won't translate into an Oasis styled Clara, but who knows. A six inch Forma might be nice (I don't know for sure, because I've never tried one of these types of readers). I wonder if this will affect the Tolino line-up? Will the next Epos be a Forma clone and the next Vision a Libra clone? They've already "Kobo'd" the Shine. Will this spur Amazon into creating a new "mid-range" eReader, an Oasis Junior to (sort-of) replace the Voyage? Will Pocketbook look into an Oasis-style reader? (Probably not, since they already have page turn buttons on most (many? all?) of their readers.) I'm guessing there won't be any changes with the Nooks. Also interesting is that Kobo is making a white reader again. I think it's been a while (were the Mini and Touch were the last ones?).
