I loved my Glo and I am really pleased with my Aura, the extra screen real estate is good to have and I can use a smaller font than on my Glo. It is good to have some extra lines of text on the screen. I am enjoying fewer page turns which contributes to a better reading experience for me. My ideal ereader size would be that of a trade paperback....not sure what the physical dimensions are, but I reckon many people would be horrified at the thought of such a large ereader!
I have just synced my Aura and got the most recent firmware update. I checked out an epub to see what the title bar on each page was like, and for me it's not a problem. It is in a small font and I probably lose one line of text, which for me is not a big deal. But judging by other posts on this thread, for those of you who have 20/20 vision and want to max out the number of characters/lines per page this new firmware is a cause of great wrath.

No misunderstandings at all. While definitely a good reason for some, I was saying it was not the universal reason for which everyone chose an ereader.
Glad you're enjoying your Aura, I am, too. I think the people are letting this title bar issue stop them from buying one are really missing out.
