I'm trying to decide between the Forma and Libra for myself:

Forma: Pro - 32GB option and large screen size for reading PDFs. Con - larger form factor potentially leading to wrist issues especially out and about. I'm also concerned about putting it into my day pack with all the other junk I carry around even with a case. Too expensive to buy without trying.

Libra: Pro - smaller form factor and can fit easily into my day pack. Lower price makes an un-trialled buy less problematic if things don't work out. Con - no mention of upgraded storage to 32GB. Not sure about reading PDFs on the smaller screen.

I'm not bothered about reading epubs; that's OK. I have around 20GB of rpg PDFs sitting unread in iCloud and I dislike reading on a laptop or desktop.

I may wait until the end of the month and see if John Lewis Oxford Street get a Libra in store so I can compare the two.
