Had a look at a demo model of the new Aura in WH Smith today and apart from one thing it's really tempting me. The flush screen is very nice, I fiddled with a whole lot of settings/options and everything was very quick, and the light looked very good (and not so bright compared to the Glo). I also think that the wasted header/footer space can be negated slightly by altering margins & line space so that's not so much of an issue as I thought it might be.
However, that bright line along the top of the screen that others have mentioned is a concern. I'm not sure what it'd be like in varied reading conditions, probably in low/dim lighting where you don't have the light on very brightly it'll be fine, but in a fairly brightly lit shop, as soon as I turned the light up to 53% it was very noticeable.
Edit: also asked about the availability of the pink Aura, but no one had a clue when it'd be available.
