Physically, the Aura is just slightly too wide to be comfortable for one-handed use.

This is the part of the gizmodo review that really confuses me. The main thing he keeps comparing it to is his own Nook Simple Touch, which he obviously likes. But the stats say the Nook is 5.0" (127 mm) wide, and the Aura 5.05" (128.3 mm).
I ordered but haven't received an Aura, so I can't compare for myself, but are those numbers not accurate or what?
His complaints about the back seemed weird too, since one of the things that sold me on that were that it seemed (on the sides, anyway) similar to the sculpted back of the Nook, which I find very comfortable to hold. Too skinny is not a good thing.
Losing the great rubbery-feeling back, now, that IS something that I'm nervous about.
