I agree that the search engine is terrible and the non-aggressive pricing as bad. Honestly I'm still buying from amazon (mostly), and side load onto the aura. I refuse to see the ereader purchase as buying into the ecosystem, I'm just buying a device.
The reset did fix the WiFi issue, though I am not going to test it further now that the new firmware 2.5.2 is out as I DON'T want that upgrade! In addition, I've not seen the glo light flicker since doing the reset though as that was an intermittent problem, I may not have done enough night reading to have it crop up again. Two-page turns are still happening but I could live with that.

The upshot is that I may test the reader a little longer before deciding to return. The screen is perfect, lighter than my Sony T1, no pinholes in the glow layer or any other problems, so it's hard to let go of that. If the glo light flickers again, I will return for sure. I may also speak with another CS representative or possibly through email, to see if I get a different response on the matter.

At the least I'd want to know if a replacement would be a refurb and, since this is supposedly a limited edition, how exactly would they replace during the warranty period if the edition sells out before then?
