What disappointed you about it? I've yet to see one personally, but from what I've read online the first impressions of it seem to be good?

Edited to add: It's ok I've read your post in the Kobo forum now (it's laggy, the screen is unresponsive, and the screen contrast with the light off isn't all that great). Sounds like you ended up with a defective unit rather than the Aura itself being poor?

For those who like the bigger screen, at least with Kobo releasing the Aura it raises the possibility that the likes of Sony & Amazon might follow suit.
