I owned a Forma for several weeks and sold it due to the PWM issue. I ultimately ended up buying a Kindle Oasis 3.
The Forma was in my view better than the Oasis in many aspects. The bigger screen while weighing the same is one or that I preferred the haptics of the grippy plastic over the pointy, cold and slippery metal of the Oasis. But I was irritated, as I wrote in a post before, by the Forma’s lighting that I perceived as less calm than a non PWM-screen. I compared the device side by side in various lighting conditions (sunlight, artificial light, lights off) and also “blind-tested” with my wife and we agreed that the non-PWM screens of the Kindle PW and Oasis are easier on the eyes.
I cannot tell you if that is my mind playing tricks on me or another factor that has nothing to do with PWM. But in the end, I didnt care because it is my own subjective perception that counts in the end when making a buying decision.
So my recommendation to all who think about the Forma is to try it out, compare it and trust your own perception and opinion. You like it? Keep it. Dont like it for whatever reason? Sell it and get a different one.
