Thanks Sirtel, for looking out for me ! And Josieb1 for mentioning the 32GB discounted Formas, which I didnt know you could get!

QUESTION!


Now, on the screen...

1. I have the Libra 1 whose screen I'm happy with

2. So a couple of questions about the Forma:
a) is the screen higher or lower spec than Libra 1? Has anyone read on both?
b) is this 'uneven lighting' thing that I heard about actually a problem?
c) are there any other problems with the Forma I should know about?

d) I do prefer the slightly RECESSED screen of the Libra, because I assume its less likely to break if it hits the deck. Does the forma have that and the Sage doesn't?

BACKGROUND AND SOME SCREEN INFO FOR Y'ALL...

3. I definitely AM interested in the Forma, because:
a) It's around the same weight as the Libra1, so that feels safer for me since I can't actually hold a device
b) I'm still concerned about the Sage battery life - also the buttons look fiddly and others have said so
c) I don't really NEED writing, since the Boox Note Air is an amazing writing/annotating device and I just realised: if you are going to note, you need two hands anyway, so a weightier device is okay

4. Re the Libra 1 screen, FYI:
a) I did notice that the Boox Air 2 is actually alot better screen
b) However I also found that Koreader can increase the contrast and make the Libra text even better than before on PDFs
