Im not seeing the importance. I am sure there is a difference if I put them under a microscope, but there is no way that anyone is going to convince me that I will somehow benefit from a higher resolution text. I am nearsighted. When I take off my contacts or glasses I can get really close to the text on my ereader and see the text close up clearly. (as opposed to if I had my glasses or contacts on) It looks as good as a print book. Isnt the point of eink to mimick paper??

So I still feel that the Aura has more going for it. Most likely superior lighting,better software options(ie. two finger lighting slider, font sizes etc.) better ergonomic device(IMO), lighter, smaller bezel and the edge to edge screen. All these make it more appealing to be.
