The Kobo Forma with an 8" screen size is 6.3"x6.99"x0.33" at 197g. The waterproofing is 1PX8.

The nook Glowlight Plus with a 7.8" screen is 8.3"x5.9"x.34" at 279g. The waterproofing is IPX7.

The screen on the Forma is plastic backed and not glass as on the nook. So as far as the hardware goes, I'd go with Kobo. It's a slightly bigger screen (plastic backed), smaller (overall), and lighter. Plus, it has firmware that gets updated more often and (IMHO) is better then the nook. The Forma has buttons on one side because the screen can be rotated so it's good for right- or left-handed people
