If you don't mind my asking, can you describe what you don't like in the Forma's power button? I've never held a Forma in my hands. |
Sorry if I'm jumping in to answer a question of someone else. The Forma power button has a number of issues. When it's new, it's very stiff and hard to press. That is combined with very light to no tactile feedback,, so you don't always know when it 'clicks.'. If that weren't already bad enough, even though it's small, it pivots or rocks from side to side, so if you don't press it right in the center, and keep the direction of the pressure exactly center, you will push in one side of the button only and not actually actuate the switch.
With all of that said, you would think that at least the switch never gets pressed by accident... but no, it's located where your hand goes when holding, and I have turned off my reader several times while reading. I have had far more accidental power offs with the forma than any of the infamous "Power button at bottom edge modles" like paperwhites or Clara HD
All of this probably makes it sound far worse than it is in reality. But in an otherwise very well designed product like the forma, it really sticks out as a shockingly low quality implementation.
