When it hovers around the $100 price point, I might consider buying one.
What's your threshold price?

I've just bought one (my third) at 249.99 for the 32gb one. I wanted a backup for my backup.
The box had a patch where a price tag had apparently been removed. I assume it must have been in a store at some point -- does Kobo take back unsold discontinued models from retail stores? The box was sealed and the contents looked to be undisturbed.
Sadly, the power button is at least as sludgy as my other two but otherwise it seems ok. I'm not going to try for an exchange because it seems like a lot of work and I don't think it's likely I'd get one with a perfect button anyway. I can always use it with a cover. I have a few covers that I like quite well and, although I seldom use them, even with a cover the Forma is nicer to hold than any of my other ereaders.
I still have a very faint hope for an updated Forma with a mobius screen someday but I don't want to take any chances. I have over a dozen ereaders but for reading at home (where I almost always am nowadays) I very seldom use anything but the Formas.
