That good e-readers video is really annoying. I'd criticize some of their fawning -
- when I need the light, I literally set it and leave it. I've never used it above the lowest setting as it is - but aside from turning it on (easy with the button), I'm not always changing it on-the-fly. So the multi-touch gesture for changing the brightness isn't really all that fantastic, who cares about three touches if you're setting-and-forgetting?
- fewer refreshes, is that a good thing? I actually appreciate the constant refreshes, because the text seems to get really "rough" between refreshes when they are spread out to six pages. They didn't touch on whether or not fewer refreshes enhances readability, or reduces it
- is thinner actually better? Currently I really like that the Aura HD is a bit bulky, it rests nicely in the hand in the way that a tablet doesn't. They say the Aura is "Quite Thin" but it doesn't seem THAT much thinner than the Aura HD?
These really are surface-level videos, and they speak of nothing about comparisons of using the Kobos and focus strictly on the features. Half the features they mentioned will be via firmware update for older Kobos, and it would be nice if they summarized what will and won't be included in those firmware updates so that Aura HD owners know what they will actually be missing out on... which may turn out to be very, very little
