Yet, I still very much look forward to seeing an Aura in the wild, and taking the plunge about Christmas time
I was just going to edit my post to ask the question re poor quality control as they rush to get new ereaders out. It really does put you off pre-ordering doesn't it.

Thankfully for me, I'll be getting a new ereader for my birthday in November, so I've time to wait and see both the Kobo Aura and the Paperwhite 2 in person (and maybe even hear if Nook will release a new ereader too) before deciding....
