Does anyone have both the Aura One from 2016-17 and the Sage or Forma? If so, could you compare the same book at the same font and size and see how much more text per page the 8" shows, if any?

I've got the Aura One and mostly like it. The screen is excellent and it shows a lot more text per page than my Kindle Oasis. But it isn't the most user friendly "holdable" with very thin bezels and no buttons. It's easier to accidentally turn page(s) when you don't intend to.

I'd like to have a larger screen for more text between page turns and I'd like to have buttons again. I may go for the Forma just for buttons and bezel but I'd like it if it showed more text per page. I'd think it would but thought maybe someone could check and confirm. Thanks for any input!
