Hmm. I'm a bit underwhelmed. I'm sure it's going to be a great reader but as someone who already has an Aura and an HD, I don't see any reason to buy it. It looks like it has a recessed screen. Does that mean that we're going back to IR technology? I hope the back texture is like the current Aura and not like the Aura HD.
