I’m not using my smaller Boox as much as I’d hoped as I just can’t get used to the colour, and as I’d like something a little larger anyway (although I love my new Boox Go 10.3, the lack of frontlight and the size means it’s not going to be a full-time replacement for my well-used, elderly Oasis), I’m tempted to try and sell my Boox at some point and dip my toes into the world of Kobo for that dedicated, more portable reader with a frontlight… So it’s the age that concerns me, as I’m not sure I’d be up to replacing the battery if it needs any sort of more technical know-how.
While these Kobo Forma may be like new, how is the battery life?
