The Kobo Forma rotates automatically, allowing you to quickly flip it on its side and take in the full impact of that double-page spread. Whatever it is, and whatever manga it’s in, the power of the double-page spread is impactful. It might be a cityscape or a final blow in a shounen fight. So many manga wow their readers with periodical double-page spreads featuring gorgeous art. “Auto rotate” is another awesome feature that’s particularly good for manga readers. This is a satisfying and time-saving quirk of the Kobo Forma that I hugely appreciate. When you hold down the page turn button, the eReader quickly cycles through pages as though you were thumbing through a physical book. “Rapid page turn” is a cool aspect of the Kobo Forma. The Kobo Forma having this is another blissful aspect of the device, and another reason why it’s the best eReader for manga. I leave it on all the time, and my eyes thank me for it. It switches out the harsh blue glow of most screens for a warming yellow glow that is much healthier and easier for your eyes.Ī lot of people turn this natural light setting on at night, before bed. “Natural Light” is a setting that most phones and laptops have these days. I’ll say up front that I’m no tech expert, but here are some of the settings and options that I have enjoyed with the Kobo Forma. You’ll never find yourself needing to squint or to pinch and zoom. The difference is so slight, in fact, as to be unnoticeable. The Kobo Forma has an 8 inch screen, making its screen size almost exactly the same as the average tankobon manga volume. The feeling of turning on your eReader, opening a manga, and having it look and feel like a physical manga volume is absolutely magical, and that’s what you get from the Kobo Forma. Squinting at dialogue boxes and getting a headache, pinching to zoom in almost constantly, or simply having panels too small to appreciate the art. As I already mentioned, the most important factor for me was the size of the display.

Good ereader
