BTW, the Forma is actually a newer and better model than the Aura One. I suspect the Forma's frontlight is also better. But the form factor of the Forma is similar to the Oasis 3, so if you don't like that, you might not like the Forma either.

Thanks, Sirtel. What is really most annoying to me on the Oasis is the way the case is thicker and rounded up under the buttons. It is billed as being easier to hold. It is if you do not use the case/cover. But with the Amazon (at least) case/cover I find it to be a problem. Because the cover, when opened, wraps around to the back of the Oasis and actually covers the ergonomic shelf and you wind up with a flat back but one that is heavier on one side and sometimes the cover moves a bit. The Forma seems to have a flat back with or without the cover and so, I think, would feel more comfortable in my personal grip. It is basically the ergonomic shape, I guess, that I do not like. (And yep I realize it is probably loved by most Oasis owners. I am just an outlier on the bell curve there!)
Thanks for your help! I notice Calibre has a button on top for the Kobo so can I assume that sideloading books is as easy?
