Wandered up to my local Indigo earlier today to look at the Aura. Nice but no sale! There is no way I can hold it (or any other reader without buttons) with one hand and turn pages back and forth. It is simply not possible. I would have to have a thumb at least twice as long as my current equipment. The larger screen is nice and the resolution better than my eyesight. The contrast is no better (and no worse) than other Kobo readers that were beside it. I really, really, really want an eink display with a 50:1 contrast ration (but I doubt that I will get it.) The front lighting is the usual cheap (read bluish) white LED and is noticeably uneven, especially at the edges. I find this very distracting. This was noticeable in a well lit store. I suspect it would be worse in low light levels.
Yes, I know that I am a luddite and standing in the way of progress but insisting on buttons. However, I still think that my devices should suit me, not that I should suit my devices.
