Before you say it's just DNSB saying this, try searching via Google for people doing similar experiments on different devices.
OH NO, that means there are more DNSBs out there!! Actually that it is "people doing similar experiments on different devices" gives it more credence, in my mind, than "Lab Results" or Bloger opinion. The results that I have seen posted suggest that much depends on the size of the files being accessed and if the use is through random access or sequential access.
My guess is that ebooks, even large ones, are accessed in small, a page or two at a time, increments. So I feel that DNSB has a valid point and Class 4 cards might be preferable over the Class 10 cards. (even if most class 10 cards are really class 6) I have not looked into the new classification system very much but I remember it as being touted as more reflective of performance in relation to multimedia files.

All in all, I doubt there is any great difference, but see no reason not the use the Class 4 cards for ereaders and the Class 10 for tablets. There is that most consumers would not be aware of this distinction and "(4)" is less than "(10)"; the class 4 cards should be cheaper. As you can see I would have no problem changing mine if I noticed any problem.

To answer your question, they all will work in the Aura it is a matter of a possible slight difference in performance.

Luck;
Ken
