If contrast is a thing then Forma wins. If PPI is a thing then Forma wins. If resolution is a thing then Forma wins. If size is a thing then DXG barely wins -- barely because the top and bottom margins on the Kindle are hard-coded and you lose from 50 to 100 pixels depending on the file format. That's ~1cm which brings the effective screen size to about 1cm wider and 1.5cm taller than Forma. The only clear winner is price and that's only if you think your time is better spent making the Kindle work.
I just use KPV reader (Koreader) on DXG for Pdf/Djvu/Cbz files and it uses the whole screen, its every pixel.

I'd use it instead of Aura One (for pdfs that I can read on Aura too) or my original paper books/documents because I can get 10-20 % magnification that way, despite its lower 150 dpi, e.g. A4 or letter size pdf document with its usual 17 or 18 cm text width + blank margins, I can read on 20 cm wide DXG' screen without margins in landscape mode.
