What's also interesting is that these guys seem to prefer the new Kobo Aura. Isn't the Aura still using the older Pearl E Ink technology? Shouldn't its screen, which is the most important component of an eBook reader, be inferior to the new Paperwhite, which uses Carta?
Here is the hands-on video:

I noticed that, too. They focus so much on hardware, but to me, the Kindle is more about features and about reading experience. They focused a lot on the screen on the Aura being flush with the bezel. I mean, really, that's more important to some people than an improved e ink display? I don't know, I think once you love either device, it's hard to switch so we are eternally biased
