Not everyone is a fan of e-readers, especially people who grew up building book collections and who may still enjoy filling up all the space on their bookshelves. It’s noticeably lighter than any other e-reader I've ever held. At just 197 grams, it’s exactly the type of lightweight feeling you want from something you expect to hold in your hands for several hours. I wish my Kindle Voyage was more like the Forma. So you can pretty much grab it off the table however you want, and whether you hold it with the binding on the left, right, or bottom - the screen automatically displays text properly.įinally, the weight of the device is, frankly, perfect. One of the more incredible things about the Forma is that it includes a gyroscope in the handle, enabling the screen to automatically orient itself in the right direction regardless of how you hold it. They aren't really necessary, though, since the display is a touchscreen, and all of the primary functions can be performed by tapping the screen instead of pushing buttons.
The top one moves the page backwards, and the bottom one moves the page forward. The buttons are what you use to turn the pages. The grip is where Kobo hides most of the hardware that powers the e-ink display and lights, but it’s sleek enough that it doesn’t hurt the overall look of the device, and even provides a nice handle for long reading sessions.Īnother interesting design choice is the inclusion of buttons on along the handle. It’s noticeably thinner than my Kindle Voyage at just 0.17 inch, with the exception of the large grip on one side. It looks spectacular, even sitting right next to an Amazon Kindle device. No matter how you chalk it up, the Kobo Forma is lovely machine. The screen is huge, and the battery life is phenomenal.
The Kobo Forma is easily the nicest e-reader I've ever held.
