It may be just me, or a visual effect, but the right edge/side looks lighter then the rest of the screen.

Gkad you found a reader you like.

And why is the libra 2 heavier than the forma, that's even stranger because the forma is an inch larger.
The Forma is using a plastic backed screen at 8".

The Libra 2 is using a glass backed screen at 7".

The Libra 2 screen is heavier enough to make it heavier then the Forma.

It really is easy to just touch the page, bottom right, to go forward (and bottom left to turn back)

I realise everyone's got their own way to turn a page, but there are minimal complications touching bottom right or left
I prefer to swipe then to tap. When I get my Libra 2, I'll continue swiping.

75?! Wow, I never take any of my readers past 35, might be why I'm not as aware of lighting/screen issues as some
With my H2O, I use the front light at a setting of 4. I'll have to see what setting on the Libra 2 compares to 4 on the H2O.

I took another look at the photo with all the different brightness settings on my laptop. I cannot see the right side being lighter then the left. The screen looks even to me.

Wow Josieb that looks really nice. Happy for you! I see no green tint. Is that so or is it just this particular lighting condition? Would love to see photo of dark mode when/if you have time.

Very pleased for you Josie. I might have gone for the Libra 2 except for the recessed screen and the fact that I've got used to an 8 inch screen. Enjoy your Kobo 😊.

Interesting. Looking at the colors using PC software, there are fluctuations. Maybe your laptop needs to be calibrated.

However, it is the opposite of what I thought; the right side is darker, especially the upper half. Could just be the photo/camera.

Note that this is all a nitpick. The screen looks very good to me and I would be very happy with it.

Here’s Dark Mode. It’s slightly blacker in real life.
