I think the Forma and Libra both have sufficient space to set your desired max font size. While I use the same font size on both Libra and Forma, I use a much smaller font on the Clara, this also feels more natural. Since the Forma is large enough you have the luxury to increase the margins by quite a lot, which makes for a nicer reading experience. But even with wider margins you still have somewhere between 15-20% more text.
Now that I've customised everything to my liking and spend more time reading on the Forma I find going back to the Libra limiting my reading flow. I can honestly say that using the Forma has ruined the fun for me on the Libra. So I now decided to keep the Forma (and the Clara for on the go) and return the Libra. Although, strictly technically speaking, I think the Libra is the better device. Still, the huge screen is just so much nicer to read on.
