Mobius displays are always produced with plastic outer layers, which are far inferior to glass in terms of transparency.
And if you claim that your Forma is as sharp and contrasty as your Kindle, then you're not seeing well, or .....

@Otisschwenk, try to maintain at least minimal contact with reality. Or possibly post a link to eInk's site supporting your claim. As near as I can tell from what I have read on eInk's site and elsewhere, the outer layers have nothing to do with the substrate.

For applications such as cell phones or hand-held devices, the use of a plastic TFT can be augmented by a layer of unbreakable glass on the front of the display to give stiffness to a device which requires significant touch interaction, but still provides an increased ruggedness. In these types of devices the TFT itself is often the component that fails when dropped, rather than the top plane glass. A plastic TFT can significantly reduce display failure due to those drops.

The Onyx Boox Note 3 features an E INK Mobius touchscreen display with a resolution of 1872×1404 with 227 PPI. The screen is completely flush with the bezel and is protected by a layer of glass

The Mobius flexible screen with AG glass flat cover-lens can render a comfortable writing feeling and glare-free view.

There multiple other spots on eInk's site where the same type of statements are made and several manufacturer's whose sites claim a glass front layer on an eInk Mobius screen. I can't find one that matches your claim that a Mobius display needs to be all plastic.
