Well, i jumped and bought an Aura. Staff in Smiths seemed slightly under prepared for someone purchasing a Kobo even though the had one on display. (tucked away behind a shelf) still they had some stock so its all good.

sooo close. went trough setup the device seems quite snappy, nothing untoward that i could notice visa vis construction problems. then i turned on the light.

bam, 1 pinhole shining up at me like the north star from the middle left. The demo model in store seemed ok as far as i could tell so there are probably decent ones out there. If my only issue with it is that 1 pinhole i will probably keep it save the swapping merry-go-round.

Haven't tested it thoroughly yet, will do today. I'm pretty happy with it bar the fault but can any other aura owners tell me what % brightness they normally use generally at night in a dark room, just curious as the pinhole disappears at about 30% brightness. I will test later obviously but just wondering.
