I am the proud owner of an Aura and an Aura HD, both with a broken screen.
I cannot seem to order new screens from Kobo to replace them myself and the repair is as expensive as a new unit, so I am stuck with ordering on aliexpress.com.

Now I can order a replacement for the aura's screen ED060XH3, but I can't find a replacement for the Aura HD's screen ED068OG1.

What I can find is a nice 9.7" screen for the Kindle (ED097OC1) which is even cheaper than the new Aura replacement.

Would anybody know what the restrictions are for a replacement screen? Are the connection ribbons all the same? Or can you identify them?

I assume I would have to install new screen drivers, is that correct? Where could I look for those?
