If you're edging towards the Kobo Aura, it might be worth waiting for a couple of months to see if Kobo announce an updated version. Similar to the original Paperwhite and the PW2 Amazon released within a year, there is room for improvement in the Aura's screen (Kobo's first attempt at a capacitive touch screen). Particularly as its had a price cut, and it appears to be out of stock at Kobo in the UK and Aus/NZ, it seems likely they will release an improved version later this year.

Although if you get the chance to look at one and are happy with it, now is the time to see if you can get it cheaply!
