I've had a Forma for a while, but a couple of weeks ago it froze on me and when I got it working again, it had completely dumped a sizable library of books.
It seems to be working fine now, but I no longer trust it to hold a lot of books, and I've hated the power button from day one, so I ordered a Kobo Libra and had it delivered last Tuesday.
I charged it up when i got it and have used it heavily since, just needing to recharge this afternoon.
I love the placement and feel of the power button and the page turn buttons feel good as well. They make a slight noise, which doesn't bother me.
The screen is a bit darker than that of the Forma, but you can compensate for this by turning the lights up a bit. I ran the Forma at 20% illumination and I use 40% on the Libra.
I actually like the recessed screen better than the flush one, because it seemed that I was always triggering some menu on the Forma because of the way I held it. I do think the screen on the Forma is a little more sensitive to the touch than the Libra, but not so much that it's a problem. I don't notice any difference in the clarity of the words, but I have very old eyes, so maybe I wouldn't notice that.
I thought I would regret the loss of the real estate, but it's not bothersome at all.
