I totally agree with Neil74 on this. I also went from a PW1 to the Aura and the only thing I miss is the time remaining in chapter info. For me, ease of purchasing is identical as I've always bought my books from different places on my computer and loaded via Calibre. I'm also really enjoying the easy and faultless collection syncing from Calibre as well as great font choice and customisation options.
I find it is much more sensible than the PW as when I go to collections, I just get a list without covers, even if my settings are normally set to list with covers - on the PW, having it set to cover view meant that collections appeared as some sort of generic cover images. I couldn't make it understand that although I wanted to see the covers when I look at books, I just want to see a list when looking at collections - it seems such an obvious thing to me as collections don't come with cover art.
Pocket is also useful. I downloaded my first article yesterday and was very impressed to find that if I touch an image that is too small to see properly, it opens into a window where I can zoom in and pan around enabling me to see it in full.
