Assume it’s 15 though if you buy it in the later part of November or December that time starts on December 26.

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

I prefer the night mode to the regular mode regardless. Though you won’t need to use any mods or patches to get it. Though you will need a patch to make it accessible directly from reading settings.

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)

I have not had these issues but the comfort light being excessively orange is probably from turning it up all the way. From what I’ve read the people with issues noticed them right away.

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?

Both can lock to only be in one of the two rotations. So for you you’d lock it in portrait it would then only flip when it was rotated 180 degrees. Holding it in landscape would be fine.

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 they both have touch controls the same as any other modern kobo.

6. When I first saw the Forma back in January, I thought --- I like that! Too bad it's so big. Then, I see that the Libra just came out. I"m on board! Except, from reading the posts here, it seems the Forma had a lot of issues at the beginning so I'm leery of jumping on the bandwagon. That's another reason to wonder about WalMart's return policy. 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?

The issues with the Forma were hit and miss even from the launch. Some people saw uneven lighting others didn’t. The same seems to be true for the Libra. Time does not seem to be a major factor in improving your odds of a ‘perfect’ screen.
