I bought a third Forma (backup for my backup; I’m a Forma fanatic) a few weeks ago, direct from Kobo. It shipped to me in the US from Mississauga, Canada, which is as usual. The only odd thing was that there was a small square rough patch on the box. It looked like there had been a price tag there which had been torn off. My guess is that Kobo had been taking unsold Formas back from stores; the box was sealed and the contents undisturbed. The Forma is fine except for the usual sludgy power button, which is even worse than my other two. I’m keeping it anyway.
