I think that I must agree with MattW about the elegance of simplicity. I don't own a front-lit ebook reader yet (might get Aura if it's firmware is stable) and could not get the Sony T3 (because I live in the US).
But out of the three new readers this year, PW2, Aura and T3, I am inclined toward the T3. Why? I want a stable light weight reader. My wrist starts to hurt even with the Prs 650 & its stock cover (which is light). The lightweight T3 seems to fit the need. The Aura seems to be great too if not that Kobo is infamous for buggy firmware and as busy as I am with my baby, the last thing I need is a buggy unstable firmware (if they fix the bugs in the Aura, I might jump on the bandwagon too). The PW2 is out of questions because I don't really want to convert all my thousands of ebooks to mobi, only to convert them back some years later when I move back to an EPUB reader.
And call me a Neanderthal, but in my experience with the touchscreen smart phones, I hate them so much that I am moving back to the most basic brick phone, i.e. the Nokia with a small color screen & BUTTONS. It's small, stable, comfortable and does just what I need which is to make a call and send/receive some text. It doesn't crash on me and I do not miss call because of the sluggish touch screen.. Sigh!!
