What I like more about the Libra vs. the Forma:
  • how text looks on screen. hard to describe but it looks as if text on the libra is printed on the screen compared to being under the screen on the Forma. it's not a huge difference but noticeable if you look for it (especially at angles)
  • perfect size to hold in your hand
  • page buttons in relation to size easier to reach (for me)
  • power button position
  • no soft rubber handle (= not sticky)
  • screen evenly lit
  • no screen flickering

There is really not much in favour of the Forma except reading just feels so much better on the bigger screen. Surprisingly it even feels lighter in your hand, maybe because its thinner and the weight is distributed more towards your palm.

As of now I'm still not sure which one to keep.
the Forma does have the advantage of having a plastic substrate which is far more durable than the relatively fragile glass substrate's on other ereader's including the Libra.
