Have e readers come always? I had a kindle maybe 3-4 years ago. I found it too small. And a year ago had a Clara and found it too small. And from what I remember both readers seem to flicker. Is that normal?

I’m a casual reader.

Any suggestions? For me it would be either kindle or kobo.

I was interested in the kobo forma but it’s pretty old now? Is it still pretty good and relevant?

Thanks for any guidance.
You might find the Kobo Forma a good size at 8". If you've see the screen of an iPad Mini and like that, then you'll like the Forma. The iPad Mini is 7.9".

If you find 8" too larger and 6" too small, then go for the Kobo Libra H2O as it's 7".
