I tried an Aura HD at my local Chapters branch, and the PDF I tried looked great ("Latin For Beginners", available here: http://www.textkit.com/latin_grammar.php) . Easily readable, no need to zoom. Page turns were a bit slow, but well within my tolerance. Haven't tried any of my math PDFs, but I'm confident they'll look good too.

Now I just need to convince myself that the upgrade is worth the price tag
That book doesn't look great, it is scanned from a text book I take it is why the text looks so bad, it looks even worse on my computer though. Lines of text are curved at the beginning or end of the line depending on if the scanned paged is from the left or right hand page of the book, pages are slanted, some of the text is even cut off, really a bad job of scanning, but better than nothing I guess and it is free after all.

Your eyesight must be better than mine as I would soon have a headache reading text that small even if it was a good scan.
