The thing did freeze twice, once after the initial firmware update, and once after I sideloaded a load of new books, but nothing a long press on the power button didn't fix. I have the slate blue official sleep cover.
I have to agree that the screen is lovely and sharp. Reading on it is an absolute pleasure and it is noticeabley sharper than my forma.
I am liking the ergonomics of it. It is different to the forma, and I am not used to it yet. The buttons are in a different position and the wedge side has a slight bulid up on the outside edge, not on the Forma, almost but not quite a Ridge on the outer edge. I like to read holding the wedge side in both hands at the bottom lying on my back in bed (or on a sunlounger on holiday) and when I first encountered this almost lip feature, I wasn't sure. But then it sort of fits in the side of the knuckle on my thumb as it rests on the button to turn pages and feels nice. Still getting used to it but it is not uncomfortable to hold. Just different, at the moment.
I was also worried about the weight difference, coming from a lighter reader, but so far it's fine. I would not like to go heavier, however. Buttons, which I remember being stiff on my Forma when it was new, are fine and responsive with no stiffness.
I am very much enjoying my Libra 2 so far.

If you had to choose between Forma and Libra 2 (cost being no issue), which do you prefer?
