Has a large screen yet the weight is lower than older smaller e readers. There is a hidden white text on black background mode for people who want that. The buttons don't feel great but function correctly. The yellow light mode is great for evening reading. Has a large screen yet the weight is lower than older smaller e readers.

Excellent. light, large screen size similar to small book. Much improved from earlier models, which themselves were very good. Excellent. light, large screen size similar to small book. Much improved from earlier models, which themselves were very good.

Really like it; I had the kobo glo before this which is very similar to kindle paperwhite in size and features.
This one is much thinner and lighter, and I find the separate page turn buttons useful.
Really good product - fairly expensive, but I'm happy with it.
One gripe is that the power button is really, really hard to push. I returned the model I had as I thought it faulty, but the new one is the same. I think it is just how it is - you should get a sleep cover with it, so that you don't have to use the power butotn.

High price great device but first purchase developed a fault so we returned it for replacement under the warranty. Subsequently the second device, after less than 12 months is now malfunctioning. Unfortunately the store warranty only applies to the original device so PB would not replace the second device.
However as my wife likes her Forma so much we have just ordered another and hope this new device is more reliable than the previous 2.

The power button is bad. It takes A LOT OF effort for me to be able to push the button. So I have to spend another $70 to buy a sleep cover so that I can more easily put the device to sleep. Imagine a plain low-tech cover costs for $70!
Yet this is not the end of it. Then I find from time to time the touch screen does not respond at all. And I have to try hard to push that power button to shutdown and restart the device!
