The "details" were discussed extensively with fw. 2.5.2 and I don't want it to reproduce it here, but it is the reason why I canceled my pre ordered Aura HD.
I agree that smaller won't hurt, or an option to turn it off.

What I keep wondering (and this is not Kobo specific but the Aura is a prime example) why the big bezel at the bottom. You need some to hold the circuit board, but this could be more evenly distributed. The mini bezel is slightly larger at the bottom while the Aura bottom bezel is about 3 times larger at the bottom. Makes reading with one hand more difficult.
