He hates the idea of a cover.

He saw a review comparing Aura and PW2 which specifically mentioned that it is hard to hold the Aura in one hand.

Does any of you Aura users have difficulties holding the device with one hand and without a cover? Any tips?

(I am thinking of adding a strap at the back or something similar, but if there is any solution that involves no modifications/craft work would be preferable).
I don't think the aura/aura hd are hard to hold in on hand. The only issue I have and is with out the protection, more so for the Aura HD then for the Aura, there is the possibility of breaking the screen. I think though the design of the Aura limits this greatly from the over all design of all other kobo and other market readers. The one great improvement that Kobo came out with that should have been there from the start was the screen design of the Aura which obviously is superior protection then the original screen design of the previous kobo devices or competitors out there.

So if your going for the naked look, then the NEW 6" Aura is the way to go. Just make sure you get a screen protector for the device to prevent scratching of the display.
