I currently use a Pocketbook 302 (and loving it), but am thinking of upgrading to something newer.

One thing I cannot do without on the Pocketbook is Favorites. I have thousands of books on the thing, so to find a particular author or book can be difficult. I mainly use the Favorites function to do this, so I would like any new ereader to do something similar.

One real problem with the likes of the Kindle is the (in my opinion) awful software. Much like the Apple iPhone, where the hardware is great, but the software is awful.

I like the look of the Aura HD - but I was wondering what the software is like. The software on the Pocketbook 302 is great - it is simple to organise books by Author first letter/authors/series/books. The Kindles I have worked with have been awful in this regard. I am hoping that the Aura HD is somewhere in the middle or more like the Pocketbook?

Obviously I use Calibre (that goes without saying, I guess).

I would appreciate feedback from Aura HD owners...
