What makes the AuraHD worth its price, is its higher screen resolution, screen size, and superior frontlight - all hardware features of the device. With a new version of the AuraHD announced, at a lower price, either that or the original AuraHD at a lower price might provide you with a better device. Much of the Kobo approach to their software design is to be applauded, primarily that they provided a more open, scripted, environment for the devices. Because of this, there are options to get around the very annoying Database ebook management and store tie-in features. (I know that some of you just love those things, and need your reading statistics compiled.) As someone with a large and diverse library of ebooks who is used to managing 8-9 thousand files in a structure that is natural to PC file handling, I personally prefer the Koreader's File Manager.

It looks like the new Aura is only 6".
