I too was trying to decide between the Aura and PW2. Before the PW2 was released I tried out the PW1. I was quite impressed overall but the uneven lighting and greenish blob in the center of the screen had me returning it to the store. When the PW2 was announced I decided to wait for that as I was looking forward to the improvements. When release day came I held off but recently I started looking again. Being a Kobo wifi owner I started leaning towards the Aura. At the store the Aura shined compared to the old glo right next to it especcially since I had the settings the same on both. But the store demo displayed some bright spots on the screen, the text was somewhat blurry as the light was turned up, and Kobos' firmware issues scared me enough to purchase the PW2. Plus if I want to sideload books I still have the ole Kobo wifi. Now I haven't had much time with the PW yet but I already like how the screen looks a little sharper than the Aura. My only concern now is the battery life issue on the PW2 that I am reading a lot about; could have me sending that back to the store.
