Now that I have dismissed some things and opened a bunch of books, I have things arranged so that this is a bit better. I think that the new books on the homescreen are particularly annoying with tiny covers.
- I continue to be delighted by the speed of the device. It's especially noticeable when processing new content.
- I really like the display. I know people complain about the bottom space, but I did a comparison of two pages set up exactly the same way on the Glo and the Aura. I found that the Aura displayed 4 more physical lines of text, but 8 additional lines worth of content (that is, 8 lines that were on the next page on the Glo appeared on the original page of the Aura).
- The higher density screen has resulted in a greater degree of satisfaction with reading with the light entirely off. With my glo I had the light on all of the time because the clarity of he text seemed better with the light on.
- From my perspective, the amount of text on the screen really does make the Aura look and read more like a paper book.

Great post!
I got my sweaty little paws on a display Aura this week.
I was having to double/triple press everything to get it to respond.
I didn't like the home screen at all - very crowded and the thumbnails were soooo tiny.
I did like the display of books and the size of the reader - it didn't look big and clunky.
And the higher density screen was readily apparent.
