The refurb Forma is the only deal that actually seems noteworthy, IMO.

For those who like a 6 inch screen, the Clara 2E at $120 is a pretty good deal. (Same price as the Clara HD when not on sale.)

If you were already in the market for one, sure. I just mean that 20 bucks is not a huge deal.

I have the Libra 2, and the rest of the family have both a Libra H2O.

I love the 7" screen.

Unless there's a new model with super-duper features in the near future, I don't see myself getting a Kobo for a while.

The Forma has super-duper features. It has an 8" plastic backed screen. So it's lighter and larger.

Does anyone know if gift cards can be applied to devices? Because I'm tempted, although I shouldn't.

8" is a bit to big for me. I like to hold my Kobo with one hand.

I hold my 8″ Kobo Sage in one hand. I have small hands and found the clarinet too difficult to finger and too tiring to hold.

Without a cover, there is a 1.09oz (31g) difference in weight between the Kobo Forma and the Kobo Clara HD.
