I think the Aura should have had a smaller version of the AuraHD's 265dpi screen, say 1280x960 pixels, that would have made it a distinct step forward from the Glo. As it is it seems more of a step sideways.
I find the Aura superior to the Glo. I don't care about the replaceable internal storage. I like the touch screen. Love the case material. Love the edge to edge screen. Love the smaller size and lighter weight. The Aura has become my favorite reader.
