For people who have used both a PW and the Aura, do you think the Aura's screen and backlight is that much better? That's really the determining factor for me since I've read about 10 books the past 30 days and the eye strain I get from the led light on my sony prs-t1 is super annoying now.

Plus I'm terrified of Kobo's customer service, and two people have mentioned that their kindle touch and sony prs-650 were faster at page turns than their aura.
Funny, I have 2 on their way to me via FedEx & I don't even want them (orders were previously cancelled with Kobo, or so I thought)!!!

In my opinion, based on having the Kindle Paperwhite since the day it was released in the U.S., there is no comparison between the Aura & KPW screens & backlight. Aura wins those 2 categories hands down. I would also give Kobo/Aura the edge over KPW on page turns. Remember, the Aura does have a slightly faster processor than the KPW.
