Ergonomic with an 8-inch screen
Love books, but don't have the space for your growing collection at home? Then get yourself an eReader like this one. The Kobo Forma eReader is a fantastic alternative to reading print books.
With 8 GB of built-in storage – you can store thousands of your favourite books on it – so there's no need to lug around your heavy hardbacks on your travels. The 8-inch screen also gives you plenty of page space, and the curved design is comfortable in your hand so you can hold it for hours while getting lost in your favourite novel.
Portrait or landscape mode
With a digital ink display you can read from any angle in portrait or landscape mode. You can even set the text to rotate automatically as you shuffle into a more comfortable reading position. So, it doesn't matter whether you're sitting up on a chair or lying down on a beach - reading on the Kobo Forma always feels natural.
Waterproof
Want to read by the pool, or in the bath? Then don't let anything stop you. Kobo Forma has an IPX8 rating – which means it's waterproof for up to 60 minutes in up to two metres of water – so don't worry about dropping it in the tub, along with your rubber duckie.
Easy on your eyes
Reading on a screen doesn't have to be harmful to your eyes. The Forma has an adjustable front-light, that gradually reduces blue-light exposure to keep you alert and reading in comfort. And digital e-Ink looks just like real ink, so you can carry on reading before you hit the hay.
Screen size.. Light weight. Great night reader. A brilliant all round Reader. Expensive but do not regret purchase. A recommended buy. A delight to handle even with the new cover .on

It’s lovely to hold and I like the click button you can choose or still swipe. I also like the shape. I also have the kobo case it really lovely.

It keeps switching its orientation. So it will go go upside down when you pick it up. Most times it quickly right its its self but occasionally it takes time. I understand they know about this and I hope the will send software to fix it. I would still buy it even if I’d know before I bought it that it does this. I think it would be great for a left handed person. That’s what it seems to want to be.

This is my 3rd Kobo, it is the best so far. I like the switch for page turning, and the shape. I have also purchased the sleep cover which is also very good, helps to protect the screen and helps save an already excellent battery life

Not keen on the on/off switch at the side, it’s not a positive switch on/off it doesn’t move, and I don’t like the unlock screen you can’t see it if it’s dark, I read a lot during the night so found it difficult turning it on was never sure if it was switching on. I now have the sleep cover, when lifting the cover it turns on immediately.
