I have a Clara, not a Forma or Libra. We'll see how helpful my answers are:

I bought my Clara from Walmart. I believe it's the same 14-day electronics return policy. (I bought mine a while back, and don't remember for sure.)

2. With the new ComfortLight Pro, do you find the need for the Nightmode modification (white text on black)?

I've never used the nightmode modification. Having said that, reading in the dark I did notice a big difference between reading with the original white/blue light vs. the orange light. The orange light in a completely darkened room feels more soothing.

I have read other users on here do combine night mode and the orange light and seem to like the combination.

3. On this forum, I've seen complaints about the ComfortLight not working/having inconsistent lighting/very orange tone/etc. For those who have had these issues, did the problem happen right out of the box or did it take days/weeks/months?
(hence, my questions about WalMart's return policy)

The lightning problems tend to be noticeable right out of the box. I suppose some buyers might be so excited to get their new device they at first overlook flaws. But if your device has issues, you should notice them right away.

A very orange tone is a good thing. Remember, the light is adjustable. If you find 'full orange' too much for you, you can change it. I kinda wish I could make the screen oranger sometimes.

4. I know the Libra and Forma feature screen rotation. I've also seen several posts about the rotation not locking one way or the other. I read in bed, on my side. I like the text to start at my head end and run to my foot end ... i.e. be in portrait orientation even if the device is held in landscape. For those that have Formas or Libras, will your screen lock into portrait orientation?

Screen lock is available on the Formas and Libras.

5. I want to confirm that, even though the Forma & Libra have page turn buttons, the pages can still be turned with a swipe or tap.

Yes you can.

6. I haven't looked at e-reader devices in the last five years, so I don't know about the launch of new Kobo models. Did it seem that a high percentage of the Formas had issues? Does it seem that each new model launch has a lot of issues ... perhaps warranting the purchase of a Clara HD for now and possibly a Libra in the next 6-9 months?

I can say that every new device Kobo introduces seems to have issues at first. And the larger the screen, the harder it is to nail down frontlighting.

When the Clara was first released, there was a 'light bleed' issue. That seems to have been fixed.

When the Forma was first released, there seemed to be a bar down the side that was lit differently than the rest of the screen.

I haven't paid as much attention to the Libra, but I'm sure reading around, people have nots to pick there.

Just remember, most devices won't have those issues, even in the early days. Otherwise they would be reported a lot more widely than on just this forum.
