The whole business model is unsavory to me.) Chin or ear? (You can opt out of the ads but it costs money. To me Kindles aren’t even an option any more because of the “special offers” and limited file support. It’s also worth saying that like all Kobo devices, there are no forced advertisements on this one, and you can load your own books as easy as that. (I didn’t have one to compare on hand, unfortunately.) The Forma is slightly larger, by about 20 millimeters (3/4″ or so) in height and width, and is ever so slightly but not noticeably thicker. Where it differs from the Kindle Oasis is in size and a couple important particulars of design. The screen will be very similar to that of the Aura One, Kobo’s previous high-end reader, but the Forma’s asymmetric design gives it slightly closer to square dimensions. (The color cast of the screens is adjustable.) The Clara HD, Kobo’s best entry-level device, left, and the Forma.
