It is of no use to me if the device can technically display much more lines of text than the Paperwhite at the same font size, but looses many lines by forcefully displaying information I don't want on the screen all the time. This defeats the purpose of a larger screen, which would be the main reason to consider this reader.
If, on top of that, it has bugs (and different ones for epub and kepub at that), which I do not experience when converting epub to mobi or AZW and then read on the Kindle, that makes the appeal even less. Pity.

I just wanted an epub reader which is also front lit. Where I am Nook is not sold, so I thought Kobo is a good option and now that Aura looks good, I'll go for it.
Turns out it's rather complicated...I'll keep following discussions and see what transpires in the end.
