No offense taken.
Everything's cool.
No need for a comparison thread, it's dead simple to me: KPW, great light, contrast, screen, software, cloud service, send to kindle browser and computer add ons, store, prices, customer service. AURA, great light, constrast, even better screen, much welcome increase in screen real estate (better for everything except portability - kpw still easily fits in a jacket), very poor software, customer service and average store, choice for epub and extra storage with sd card (both inconsequential imho since epub converts to mobi easily, and book files are extremely small) .
While to me (and I think most reviewers on thew web) there was no contest comparing the glo to the kpw, with the latter being easily much better in so many fronts, it's not so when comparing the aura and kpw. The aura brings to the table ppi and screen real estate that's unmatched by the kindle. Regardless of how good everything else might be about the kindle, it's clearly outperformed in screen real state and ppi. Until amazon comes up with a similar eink screen, the aura is a frontrunner there.
Would I exchange my overall kindle experience for a larger screen? No way. Would I buy an aura as well to enjoy the great new screen, and then maybe sell it off at ebay. Absolutely.
