I find the Kobo Libra page turn buttons really good. They can be on either side (the text automatically rotates by 180) and you can set upper or lower to be Next (and vice versa). It automatically swaps the buttons when you rotate to have them on the left or the right, thus if the top button is Next, the other button which is on top after a 180 rotation, becomes the top button and is still next.

Yep. The Oasis buttons are pretty much the same.
I don't have the Forma, but I do have the Oasis and the Libra. Ergonomically the Libra is somewhat better, as the metal back of the Oasis is not comfortable to hold. I put my Oasis in a coverless silicon shell, which makes the grip better, but increases the weight a bit. OTOH the Oasis is noticeably faster than the Libra.
I don't use the store on any of my ereaders. I buy from many different stores (Amazon, Kobo, Google Play, Smashwords and so on), all my books reside in Calibre and I sideload them to my readers from there.
