Hello,

First things first, as it's my first post I'd like to say you Hello and thanks for all of this community, resources etc. I've learnt so many things even though I wasn't registered, or a part of this community.

Talking about community, I'm on my way to be a part of as I do want to buy a eReader. It's been years I have this "need" in mind but never dedicated enough time to search, and gather information to have a final choice.
And here I'm, my choice has almost been made but I wanted to know what would you think about this choice as there are, for sure, people experienced with devices.

I wanted to buy the Kobo AURA HD, it was in pre-order on a website, I wasn't sure so I waited the release date (July 31), and it seems, the product is no more available. The guy, at the shop, was so confused, as he didn't know anything this product release, none information about when will it be in stock etc.
So basically, if I want to a buy one, I will have to buy somewhere else...
And it frustrated me so much, I was like : " I just waited 3 weeks for that product, and now, I can't buy one ".

The kind of thing that pushes you to buy somewhere else, such as a Kindle Paperwhite.
Then a friend, who didn't want to wait for the Kobo AURA HD bought a Paperwhite. I tried it for few minutes, I've been very pleased, 6" is great but I thought 6.8" would be better. The whole Amazon store, ecosystem, works pretty well. Prices are way more interesting on Amazon than anywhere else.

I've already seen a lot of videos, comparative, reviews etc.

So basically, my choice is between Kindle Paperwhite and Kobo AURA HD.

And ... because it was a bit too much easy, I would like to know what do you think about the Touch Lux.
I have been pleased to see compatibility, features, but it seems turning pages, and UI was very slow, and buggy.

Thanks a lot

And if you wonder what kind of books will I read, mostly, technical stuff such as Microsoft Press, Cisco Press, and that kind of stuff.
