Just bought an Aura and had a long, hard look at the Aura HD. What got me to choose the Aura over the HD was the pinch & zoom ability, which is extremly handy for me as I often read books with maps in them and the easyness to regulate the light. You just move two fingers up or down the screen and the light dims or brightens. Adjusting it this way doesn't interrupt the reading as the "normal" way (tap to bring up the pop-up menue, slide to adjust and then tap again to close the pop-up) does.
The bigger screen didn't weigh out those two features for me.
So, I am with PDurrant, having a hands-on is a must!
Oh, I need to add I adore my Aura :-)
