Hi again!

So, now I'm a happy owner of Aura HD. I must admit that Kobo webiste was useless (kept hanging on me when I tried to purchase) so I got it from Amazon, alas, for a bit more. But what the heck, x-mas is a good excuse

In short words - I'm quite happy with the purchase. Screen quality is unparalelled. Really great. Light is very uniform, so no "blotching" or whatever else plagues other readers. Got a very nice cover - http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Leathe...dp/B00E19K6EQ/ works very well, puts the device to sleep upon closing the lid, and since it is solid plastic, I have a good feeling about its protection qualities.
Installed Kobo patcher to get all space on the screen - worked like a charm, and now i installed coolreader as well as koreader - finalyl somethign to read PDFs with! On Kindle reading PDFs is nigh impossible -screen to small no option of zooming. Koreader does very good job. If just the reset upon the exit could be fixed..
And getting used to the touch screen - still sometimes does not goo enoug for me, but call me "unadapted" to digiatl age - i noticed on few diferent touch devices that my fingers somehow do not work as well as others. Different skin resistance? Anyway, it works well enough.

So, in short - I'm happy with my purchase, it just would be nice if Kobo could read mobi format better. It does read it, but clearly does much better job with epubs.
