I recently made the switch from Kindle Oasis 2 to the Kobo Forma. Larger screen size was my motivation. The ability to sideload my Amazon books through Calibre made the transition pretty seamless. I find the Forma screen as good as the Oasis and my old eyes love the larger screen. I haven’t seen any uneven lighting issues, but I am not a pixel peeper.
I will say the Amazon environment is reliable and in my experience I never had any issues. It simply works. I have run into issues on the Kobo, but nothing I couldn’t resolve (with the help of this community). The other big advantage of Kobo is the tight integration with OverDrive. Finally, this switch forced me to use Calibre. It is an awesome program that gives you true ownership of your books. The support for the app is World Class, plus it has the support of this community.
Thanks,
Joe
