My biggest complaint with the Aura ONE (which is my personal choice) is the screen, which can be erratic when you're trying to do an annotation. I manage to work around it but find that doing annotations on my Forma is much easier. I rarely use the Forma, though, because I prefer a device with the Aura ONE's form factor -- no buttons, no asymmetrical design, etc.

That said, I personally wouldn't want to buy an Aura ONE now, as it's an older model and I'd worry about battery issues. I'd also advocate waiting to see what Kobo comes up with in terms of the new device that's apparently coming.
