I want to have a backlit one by next Wednesday at the latest. If I bought the PW for $100 and was waiting for it to ship still, but I could have the Aura for $184 by next Wednesday, then I would opt for the Aura.
Uh, you do realize that the Aura's ComfortLight = front-light? From Kobo's site:

ComfortLight is a breakthrough front-light that's perfect for reading in any lighting condition. The revolutionary ComfortLight is incredibly even and adjustable for a beautifully lit nighttime reading experience. And because ComfortLight illuminates the page, rather than emitting light outward toward your eyes, you'll enjoy a truly comfortable read. Curl up in bed, on the plane, or in your favourite chair without overhead lights. That's the pleasure of reading on the most evenly front-lit eReader on the market.

If you are looking for a back-lit reader I highly recommend the Nexus 7.
