Both devices have buttons - I reject that. because these are always in the wrong place for me.

And now the most important difference:
The Oasis can only handle books that have been bought from Amazon - the Forma can only handle books that have not been bought there.
The rest is a matter of taste and can only be tried

Since EInk is opaque, none of the devices can have a backlight - the light comes from above and is reflected by the screen
