If all you want is a larger screen, get a Forma. From what I've read, the Forma is not as good contrast-wise as the new Kobos (Sage and Libra 2), but that may not be important to you.
Still, the Forma is 3 years old and I wouldn't pay the full price for it. YMMV.

Here are three downsides to purchasing a Forma:
1) The device was introduced in Nov. 2018 and, although still listed as being for sale, the Sage has effectively 'replaced' the Forma.
2) The 'Wedge of Woe' light issue.
3) The price has been lowered to approx. $209.99, ($40 off the regular price) for the 8-gig unit, but it is still too high in the opinion of some people.

It is very interesting that the people most negative to Forma... has never used or owned it themselves.
