My Aura HD is AFAIK perfect hardware-wise/. I bought it in April and used it for several hours a day till sometime in August when it just got too irritating. I still use it on occasion, but prefer the mini or T1.
Quality of the screen is excellent, the body is excellent, the light seems to function well with no discoloration or leaks. Very even. The software irks me, more so than the mini, and it it's overall styling as seen from the front. Reminds me of a particularly ugly picture frame more and more as time goes on. After a few pages I don't notice it, but if I pause in my reading I notice it again. It seems unbalanced somehow more than other readers.
But then again I am often hard on electronics, I buy them to use, not to wrap up in tissue paper for fear of scratching or breaking them and the Aura HD has stood up very well. On the occasion that I clean it up it still looks good as new and I examineit closely. Other than ugliness, which is only my opinion, the build quality is superlative.
Totally surprised on the Kobo Aura issues. Not like it is a pioneering move.
