Mine’s still my go-to reader. I prefer the oblong shape to the blockier shape of the Forma and while I missed buttons when I first moved from Sony, I got over it. I also suspect the extra 0.2” on the Forma would make no difference to me. And yes, visually it’s got a sleek, minimalist look that the Forma with its one-sided big bezel doesn’t have.
I’ll mourn also and given that it’s coming up on five years old, who knows how much time it’s got left? But I have five Kobos and they’re all still in use and only the oldest, a Glo I got when they first came out, is a little wonky. It doesn’t always restart successfully until I’ve made a few attempts, so I just let it sleep lest it decide to take the big sleep. I hope this bodes well for the longevity of my One - and also because the Forma’s more money than I’d want to spend on a replacement device.
