I'm hoping to buy either a Glo or Aura in late summer when I can have someone carry it over to me in Asia. Since I can't physically get hold of a book here to test, I have a few questions for you lucky first owners.
1. Since I developed tendonitis in my elbows 10 years ago from holding too many heavy books, I no longer physically hold books when reading. I use a stand (this particular one is called Bookchair). Would the Aura's sculpted back work on a stand? In some pictures it seems to only stick out a couple millimeters, but in others, it looks like half an inch.
2. Does it lie flat in a (non-Kobo) case for transport?
3. Any impressions on whether the screen is really sturdier than other e-readers? My Sony 650 screen somehow broke without even being dropped or mistreated in any known way.
4. Any idea how limited this "limited edition" will be? I'd like to wait until at least mid-summer to buy so the warranty isn't wasted while it's sitting unused until it can be transported to me.
