So I've had the aura since Monday and I think I'm having a problem with eye strain due to the light. I read in a room with an overhead light on and even with the light at only 16%, I get eye strain.

Anyone else experiencing eye strain with the aura or any other front lit reader? Do I maybe just have sensitive eyes? Or am I just not setting the brightness correctly?

I might as well give my impressions so far. I've read a couple hundred pages of game of thrones and I think I have a handle on the device.

The Good
- I love the interface. It really seems to take advantage of the higher screen resolution and larger size quite well.

- DAT SCREEN. Absolutely amazing. It makes text so crisp and clear. It also makes it easier to use smaller fonts and tighter line spacing, which means more text in screen. Love it.

- I like the way it feels to hold. The back actually contours to my hand very well. The bezel is also a nice size.

- The options available with regards to line spacing, margins, fonts, etc. Really nice to be able to tune things exactly how I want them.

- Aside from the aforementioned issues with eye strain, the lighting is very good. It's much better than the blotchy mess on the KPW.

The Bad
- Page turns could be faster.

- I wish I could fully customize sideloaded fonts the same as you could built in ones.
