Basically I am trying to decide between the Aura HD and the Aura 6" without getting to lay hands on either one before I buy (sadly, it is 2 hours away from the nearest independent store that sells Kobo ereaders). For me, if the Aura HD could have all these updates, that would be wonderful!

I think that most of the features that you mentioned are dependent on a capacitive screen. If that's what you're into I would suggest going with the Aura. For me the only real advantage of the HD is the added screen real estate.
