According to our e-reader expert

  • Thanks to the size of this e-reader, you can comfortably read and take it easily with you on the go.
  • The waterproof housing allows you to read at the beach or next to the pool without worries.
  • ComfortLight PRO automatically adjusts the screen backlight based on the ambient light and filters blue light.

Just a book

Still a great e-reader

  • Nice and thin
  • Fast enough
  • Nice big screen
  • No cover available at CoolBlue

The Kobo Forma is a somewhat older e-reader, but still a top product: super good and large screen, good battery life, nice and thin and light, excellent front lighting and sufficient memory to store books. I don't know if all these so-called refurbished e-readers meet the same criteria, but mine is actually completely new, no sign that the device has been used before. I think Kobo found a pallet of Formas somewhere, but they were no longer allowed to be sold as new because of the lack of the mandatory USB-C connection. Nowadays, most e-readers have a considerably larger memory, but for me 8 GB is more than enough. After all, I only put about 20 books on my reader at a time via Calibre and can keep an overview that way. Too bad there is no matching cover available at CoolBlue, for that you have to go to another webshop. But yes, I am very satisfied with my purchase, a new 8 inch e-reader for 179 euros is very attractive.
