Never sign out of Kobo....

...lesson learned: this wipes out your settings and forces a reload of the library.
Pretty annoying (to put it mildly) especially as in my case it takes 2+ hrs to load 800 books (all my library).

I guess I got spoiled using Android tablets (I LOVE FBReader, especially with the TTS+ plugin) but some of the shortcomings of the Aura are baffling.

You can definitely discard my comments and frustrations as I'm very new to this, but I expect I'm not alone. I wonder how much is eInk getting for each device (in royalties) as the hardware performance and capabilities puts these readers at par with 50$ Chinese 7" tablets. So why the higher price?
Considering the price of eBooks, one would think the readers should be almost free...see the case of inkjet printers.
