[Katsunami]

Yes, but strangely enough, a paperback requires much less light to read well than an ereader. I need the front light already, where I would be able to still read the paperback. A good quality hardcover with very white paper is no contest. To best that in brightness in normal daylight conditions, the frontlight needs to be way up.

I wonder if the Aura improves on this. I suppose not, as it's still Pearl e-ink.
