But the other benefit of the front-light feature is the built-in blue light reduction throughout the day.
This was a bit of a letdown, especially for nighttime reading. Every time I would raise and lower the light, I noticed it. This was distracting, especially because I used the gesture control to swipe the left side of the screen to control the brightness. In daylight, there’s no need to use it, but when I used it around dusk and later in the evening, I noticed a distinct shadow on the left edge of the display. The only hiccup I experienced with the display was with the front-light feature known as ComfortLight PRO. Even in the brightest light visibility was great from every angle. Like other e-ink readers, the Forma isn’t backlit, which means there’s no glare to deal with. It also has a pixel density of 300ppi, or pixels per inch, and that falls in line with other models as the general standard for e-readers these days. Most competitors come in at 6 or 7 inches tops. This e-reader stands out for its large 1920x1440, 8-inch display.
All I had to do was follow the prompts to log in with my Kobo account, set up Wi-Fi, and start browsing for titles. I didn’t need to fuss with charging out of the box since it was nearly 100 percent full. The charging cable has a protective covering similar to bungee cord material, which lends a heavier-duty and upscale feel to this small accessory. There’s minimal equipment, just a micro USBcord for charging the device and transferring files to the e-reader. The Kobo Forma was extremely speedy to set up. Lifewire / Yoona Wagener Setup Process: Quick and painless For me, the placement was slightly awkward and the lack of give on the button required a hefty push. I can’t say the same for the placement of the power button, which lives along the thicker edge of the Kobo Forma. The buttons are well-placed, easy to reach, and responsive for easy advancing or revisiting older pages. The horizontal orientation flexibility and physical page-turn buttons located on the thicker edge of the e-reader add more comfort options. And the rubberized texture on the back of the e-reader adds a bit of grip assurance. Its thin build and light weight (less than half a pound) felt evenly distributed and created no arm or hand strain despite my small hands. This gripping edge is a bit thicker at 0.33 inches but this makes holding the Kobo Forma in one hand easy and secure-feeling. The bezel is extremely thin at just 0.16 inches and rests flat on all edges except the thicker left edge. While the Kobo Forma is wider than most e-readers at nearly 7 inches wide, it’s also quite slim. Lifewire / Yoona Wagener Design: Slim and versatile
