I love the the idea of a bigger screen, and having more words in a line. I feel the 6'' screens are a tad small. But it kinda seems the Aura HD's fonts are a tad washed out compared to the PW. Like the lighting doesn't work as well as in the PW, and that the contrast is not as good.

What do you reckon?
The font on the Aura HD can be sharpened and made darker(without hacking) thus improving contrast. The light on the Aura HD is very, very good. Many people complain that Kobo readers have wasted screen space. This is something to consider and might be an issue for you.
