Embrace lightweight durability: Kobo Forma immerses you in your reading more than ever before, with a sturdy 8.0” HD Mobius Carta E Ink screen that feels lighter than air.
Dive into a story absolutely anywhere: Kobo Forma is fully waterproof from the inside out with HZO Protection™ and safe for the beach, the pool, or a soak in the tub (Meets requirements of IPX8 rating. Waterproof for up to 60 minutes in up to 2 metres of water).
Enlighten your reading with ComfortLight PRO: Kobo Forma’s adjustable front-light is easy on your eyes. It gradually reduces the blue-light exposure that keeps you alert throughout the day, so you can read before bed, then get right to sleep.
