Straw man. Kobo's PDF viewer has zoom capabilities as well so you get the same magnification factor so it's really only the physical scaling difference. At which point the 1440x1920 at 300 PPI Forma kicks the 1200x824 at 150 PPI Kindle DX's proverbial ass. Forma's screen is sharper and has a better contrast ratio. Forma is significantly lighter and is significantly faster.

While I was figuring out what to do after my "adventure" with Kobo customer disservice I dug out my DXG.

It was bad compared to my Aura One. Really bad.
