According to what I saw with good lighting and a clear even shot, yes, the Forma was lighter.

It is fact as you can see here. Also, the images on the Forma have better contrast.

You can only see the outer layers of the screen, the ones in front of the module, and these are less transparent on a Mobius screen than on a glass screen.

In fact, there's a reason why Mobius technology is only used on large screens, and has recently been replaced by glass at 10.3 inches due to new mounting concepts.

But of course, someone who wants to bend their devices must prefer Mobius.

BTW: even Kobo uses Mobius only on the Forma, whose only advantage over the 7.8 inchers is its light weight.

Kobo is using a Mobius screen on the new 10.3" Elipsa. In the making of the Elipsa video, we see Kobo flex unit more so then a glass backed screen could handle without breaking.

It says here that the kobo has less weight.

Obviously you didn't watch the video. This is where GoodEReader says the Forma has a slightly lighter gray background.

Wrong - it is a new design.
Mobius has defined connections on the narrow side - the module used here has the connections on the wide side.

If Kobo is using a new screen design, then please show me something about this new screen.

Look:
And if you look closely, the black of the Kobo is much brighter.

Spoiler:

These are not the same fonts or the same covers used. So the comparison is not really all that valid.

Here you can see a Mobius Module - and that is very different from the one shown in the video

There you can compare the charging indicators, or look at the black line on the Kindle and search on the Kobo, if you can find something similarly dark.

But you can give a fan as much evidence as you want, he will always deny it.

Looks very similar here. As for the GoodEReader video, it's slightly out of focus.

For me, better contrast as KINDLE Voyage and KOBO ONE series (KOBO AURA ONE & H2O 2edition) .
In recent years, the contrast in readers has not improved much.

You could also add the Boox Note 3 to the list of devices with a glass top layer. Sadly it has a Mobius substrate so according to some people, it can not exist.
