It was the same when I was in the market for a new ereader pre-pandemic. I wanted to try the Kobo Forma; could I find one? I found a Kobo (Touch or Libra) in John Lewis in Milton Keynes (himself was tempted by a returned Mac server), otherwise it was only Kindles.

I ended up taking a punt on the Forma sight unseen and was glad I did. My issues were the larger form factor and the weight because I have RSI in both wrists. I'd like to go for an Elipsa, but the weight may make it a no-go for me - the difference is that the Forma has a plastic substrate, but the other larger Kobos are glass substrates.
