I'm not sure if this is the proper spot for this but it seems as good a place as any. Right now, I use a large iPad Pro, an iPad mini and a Kobo Aura One (8 GB model). I like going back and forth between the iPad Pro and Kobo Aura. It makes a nice change of pace. The Aura is perfect for it's original purpose (camping) and works well in bed, but I find myself wishing for a bigger screen for every day reading and I would really like the 32 GB Forma for the 8 inch (as opposed to 6 inch) screen and so I could fit all my books on it. While the Kobo library function isn't nearly as nice as Calibre Companion, it's a heck of a lot better than the Kindle (I also have a Kindle paperwhite that I keep in the car for when I walk off and forget my iPad).

My question is for anyone with a Forma, is it basically like an Aura but bigger? i.e. does it have the same user interface, same library, same responsiveness?

Thanks.
