On the Kobo website are reviews.
The Forma has about a 40% trouble report, mainly in the build, not saying anything about the lighting stuff. This is all failed devices due to bad power buttons, some USB connections, and even the positive reviews complain about the hit or miss page turn buttons.
I have both devices and prefer the Forma. The first Forma I bought did suffer from an extremely stiff power button, so I returned it and Kobo replaced it with a new unit, no questions asked. Power button on the replacement unit is much easier to push and I haven't experienced any further issues. Additionally, no issues with USB connections or "hit/miss" page turn buttons. I use it daily and with the exception of the Kindle Voyage (IMHO the best ereader ever released) it's my absolute favorite reader of all time.
