I've had a Sony eReader, a Nook, a Kindle PaperWhite, then a Kobo Clara HD. I tried a Kobo Libra H2O a while ago but rejected it because the front light was uneven in strength and colour. Yesterday I bought a Kobo Forma. I had read mixed reviews, including some which mentioned uneven lighting, but I figured I'd give it a try and send it back if I was unhappy with it.

Wow! I am so pleased with it! The lighting is lovely and even, the screen so crisp and the device is really light and thin. It is so much bigger than the Clara HD and consequently more comfortable to read on.

I bought it from John Lewis in the UK for £199 and it comes with a 2 year warranty.

I know the Forma has been out for a while, but I really can't think how a replacement could be any better.
