I have a Sony T1 and have been longing for a reader with a front-lit screen. I was hoping Sony would release one this year, but it looks like that's not in the stars. So I've been looking at the Kobo Aura (HD or otherwise).

There is one thing I have in the Sony that I don't want to give up: the ability to download books (especially library books) directly onto the unit over wifi without having to sideload via my pc. I didn't know I would come to appreciate that so much, but I have. Reading reviews, it's not clear to me if the Aura can do that or not. Does anyone here know for sure? Thanks.
