Entering the Library, you'll notice a change: gone is the slider seen on the Glo, where you could advance one page at a time or skip to an estimated page. Instead, you have to swipe one page at a time, each showing five books. You can sort by author or title, but there's no way to, say, skip to books that start with L if you're looking for Les Miserables. You can search for a book; counter-intuitively, however, you have to use the search function within the Kobo store, for which you need to be connected to Wi-Fi.

This seems really odd to me you can only scroll through books 5 at a time and if you want to search you have to go into the store that seems to me like it would be maddening. I'm coming from a Sony 650 and the Aura is on the list but I'd like to see more user reports first.
