The wide thicker wedge/bezel with the buttons on the Forma is what really makes it a great and very comfortable reader in practice (even if it physically looks more akward then the older and more "clean" looking Aura One).
I also love the page turn buttons on the Forma. Use them all the time. They have a great feel (better then the mushier Libra H20 buttons) and for me a perfect placement on the wedge. Love them!

I'm surprised people found the side bezels of the Aura One too thin because I'm pretty sure the first 5mm of the touch screen is non-responsive to presses exactly to prevent accidental page turns.
Maybe it's just my Aura Ones, but both of mine require the touchscreen be pressed much further from the edge of the screen than my Clara, for example. I figured it was a design choice resulting from the flush screen.
When I first used the Aura One only a few months back, I thought the touchscreen sensitivity was crappy, but now I think it was disabled side margins that caused me to think it was inconsistent.
I believe some e-ink tablets use "palm rejection" in their firmware for people who are writing on touchscreens on the same principle.
