You can now order the Aura via Chapters Indigo but you'll need a scan of your ID-card and credit card. Total cost for me was about 1200 Kr. read more about it here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=222041
As for for Elib, it's just about the only company that lends ebooks in Swedish to Public Libraries. I recommend going to you libraries website and seeing what the rules are. The amount of books you get to borrow per week varies between libraries. And if you like the old classics check out Litteraturbanken http://litteraturbanken.se/#!start and Project Gutenberg or even easier, my website :-)

I know the Aura is not out yet, but it does seem like a very nice reader, doesn't it? :-)

EDIT: I didn't know about elib. Very nice!

The new Kindle Paperwhite seems like a very good choice also. I have no problem navigating calibre, so that shouldn't really be a problem, but I still like the many positives about Aura.

Would be great if there were a "best" e-reader out there. :-)
