It is, isn't it?

Actually I have no trouble going back and forth between tha Aura HD and the Mini. But I think it's due to the fact that I read on those in very different situations. Also in my experience the font looks less sharp when the light is on, so if the resolution is already lower as is what will it become with the light?

Thank you for putting my mind at ease
If I were unsure which one to buy between the Glo and the Aura, I would go for the Aura (right now they're at the same price but that won't last long) because the light is a big deal for me.
