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.

These are hardly comparable to a Kobo Aura. The Aura is only slightly larger than the popular 6" ereaders. Looking at the specifications on the Kindle Paperwhite, the resolution is only slightly higher (265 ppi for the Aura vs. 212 ppi for the Paperwhite). The only reason why I'm considering it is the resolution is significantly better than my Kobo Touch's 167 ppi and the front light may be nice, but I'd have to check it out in the store first because I need to find out if it's good enough to handle sanely formatted PDF documents. Even then I'm not expecting the world on PDFs, just enough to read technical documents.
Don't get me wrong, Kobo makes great readers. I'm even excited about the Aura, but I'm still scratching my head over why anyone would order it sight unseen.
