I have totally loved my Forma, but I'm tempted by the smaller footprint and the power button placement of the Libra, while being somewhat put off by the recessed screen.

I've had an H2O (now residing with my son) and an Aura One (which I still like, but the front lighting flickers on and off and, in any event, I have now come to rely on the page turn buttons of the Forma).

Obviously, reasons for likes and dislikes are very personal, but I'd appreciate further comparisons/impressions between the Forma and the Libra, including screen clarity and responsiveness (recognizing that those two are among the most subjective of attributes!).

Thanks!
Personally, I prefer the Forma however my wife traded the Forma back to me for my new Libra. She is happy with the 7" screen, liked the colour and the smaller size fits her purse/backpacks better. The screen and responsiveness seems much the same and I was lucky enough to get a Forma where the shadow bar is unnoticeable unless I play with the brightness and look for it.
