One other small thought: the Kobo Aura has a bezel flush with the screen; the Kobo Aura HD has a bezel like every other ereader on the market: the screen is recessed into the bezel. So, when using a passive light source (the sun, a lamp) rather than the built in backlight, the bezel can cast a shadow on the first several millimetres of screen width -- on the side, or top, or both. That doesn't happen on the Aura.
