I wonder how many people have a Forma
and a Libra?

For example:
* I heard there was a problem with uneven lighting on the screen with some units.

Yes. That hasn't happened to me though.

* Is the Forma screen as good as the Libra 1 (which I am happy with the quality of)

Review sites say they're identical.

Background
1. I have the Libra 1 that I was quite happy with EXCEPT that:
a) 6 GB was not enough space for my books
b) I wouldn't mind a larger screen for PDFs
2. I was considering the Sage (for the 32GB and bigger screen), but:
a) It's heavier than the Libra (by 50g) and I found that the smaller weight of the Libra got me reading alot more - and I can't even try a Sage here in Oz
b) the Forma is about the same weight as Libra
c) there are concerns about the battery life of the Sage
d) I might be able to get the 32GB Forma discounted, from the UK
e) I don't really NEED writing, since I have a Boox Note Air 2, which 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
f) I heard the Sage can't read-aloud sideloaded books, and almost ALL my books are sideloaded

The Sage cannot read out sideloaded audiobooks. (Actually, there's a way to do it, but the Sage will not remember your place in the book.)
