For me, the Forma has been pretty well perfect. I like the larger format (aging eyes), and because of the plastic substrate I find it easy to hold one-handed. As I have tendonitis in both wrists, weight is a major consideration for me; without a case, it's on a par with my old Kobo Touch in a case.

The weight consideration is why I've held off getting a Sage or an Elipsa; the Forma is getting a bit flaky. Several times over the past year I've transferred books from Calibre, disconnected it but left it charging, when fully charged unplugged it, and when I next wanted to use it, found the battery drained. (This happened yesterday when I had to go to the office, got the Kobo out on the train and found it dead - luckily I had my phone and could open up something in the Kindle app.)
