I was about ready to dump my Paperwhite and buy the Aura until I saw how much of the extra screen real estate was wasted, both top and bottom. When I discovered that I could minimise this by using epubs instead of kepubs, I was again considering the Aura. With news of this latest development, I will definitely not be buying a Kobo, after all, what is the point of having the extra screen space when it is then wasted just to tell you something you already know. I will stay with my 6" screen that can be virtually all used to display the text I am reading - reading, it is the reason I bought the device after all.
