Yes, but regardless, I now decided to cancel my replacement shipping and get a refund for the Forma instead.

I have watched comparisons with the Kobo Libra in the meantime and the Libra uses infrared light instead of pulse LED (or whatever it's called) so there is no flickering going on at all. There are also no light spills or dark stripes/corners etc. Next to this the screen sits directly on the panel (no air gap) which makes everything look sharper.

So the advantage of the Libre over the Forma:
- no light spilling on edges
- absolute evenly lit display
- no flickering that stresses the eyes
- sharper display

Yes, I'm loosing some screen estate, but imo the benefits do outweigh this. Also, I have like $100 left to spend on ebooks.
