What image size is ideal for a Kobo Forma?
Whatever size you like. I still use the 1000x1500 or 1125x1500 from the days when I had the cover displayed as the sleep screen. The smallest I found usable for that was the 500x750 but on some covers, it made the sleep image look pixelated. It may cost me a bit of storage but that's rather cheap these days.

Ask yourself how often do I actually look at the cover? For more than 1 second?

Not to mention that you have to be careful with some cover sources. Google seems to love 1800x2700 images that when you look at the full size image are horribly pixelated.
