Thanks for your input..

I went to Best Buy today and tried out the Oasis 3 and - that's out.

I didn't care for the metal - at all - and found it very slippery. The size/shape of it was great, but they should have made it with a rubber touch grippy finish (IMO anyhow).

Afterwards, I went and enjoyed the Nook Glowlight Plus for a bit at B&N. I still think that is the cream of the crop hardware wise right now. That said, the software certainly is limited. You really can't customize much of anything - even just stuff like headers/footers. It's kind of bummer on that front, particularly since we all have varying tastes on layout/look/information density. Highly curious how B&N has done so little with the software.

One further dealbreaker overall for me on Nook is that I have really no way to get Pocket/Instapaper/Read-it-later articles on to it. I'm not wedded to any service in particular, but from all I can tell - there is NO way to do any kind of read-it-later stuff with a Nook. That's highly unfortunate as I love to save long form web stuff for reading on my Kobo/iPad/Pocket on various platforms.

I guess I'm back to "see how my Forma will be when a new unit arrives next week from Kobo" and hope it's tolerable. I'd honestly go back to a Clara HD or other "normal shape" Kobo if *any* of them had buttons. Man oh man. When you get used to page turn buttons, they are something I don't ever want to not have again.

Screen stuff aside, I didn't enjoy the PopSocket thing on my Forma. I need to find some type of rubber "grip thing" that I can tape/glue to the back to give my hand/fingers something to really hold on to that has some shape/thickness to it.

Love to hear any suggestions on that if someone has any.
