Could be. But then he did recommend the Kobo Clara over the Kindle Paperwhite. He also likes the Forma (though the power button... I don't think anyone likes the Forma's power button).

I do think he's missing something with the Libra. My guess is he is comparing it in his mind to the Oasis, while disregarding the fact that the Libra is a hundred bucks cheaper.

Then again, my biggest issue with reviews like this is the fundamental "plastic = 'feels cheap'" argument.
Yeah, I've noticed there seem to be certain things that really, only reviewers care about. Metal vs. Plastic and bezel size are two of them.
