There are two that I know of:

Amazon Kindle DX - $235.00
ECTACO JetBook Color 2 -$499.95

The problem both of these eReaders are over $200. Too expensive for the average consumer who can easily get an Android tablet that can do more.

Aura is the only eReader that seems to be in the Goldilocks zone. The reader is not too expensive (sub $200) and the same time the screen is large enough to separate it from the competition.
