That issue makes me worry about using the Aura for readings. Freezes, skips and slowdowns are exactly what I need to avoid when doing live performances. I sometimes play piano while reading stories, with my reader resting on the piano's music rack -- imagine introducing lockups into that scenario:

He reaches up to turn the page, whereupon the screen becomes completely unresponsive, forcing him to channel his mental shriek into an embarrassment of two-handed glissandi.

One problem I'm having with the web site: The North American version allows you to order the Espresso Aura but only the Onyx case. Are Espresso cases actually available yet?
