I don't know whether it has changed, but a few years ago the header and footer on kobos took up so much space that a 6.8" kobo showed less text than a 6" kindle with similar font settings unless a configuration file on the kobo was edited.

Eink needs gentler handling than your average tablet or phone.

In fairness, JSWolf was referring to the plastic substrate on the Forma and his point is valid.
