We need to leave a little bit to the imagination, don't we? And then let's do a maximum font size test where the two readers end up with different maximum font sizes and let's not worry that this probably happens because we compare different books with different font-size settings in their CSS. Or not? Well, who cares?
You'd think they would have at least updated the devices so they have the same firmware. (Thank you, everyone, for suggesting it.)

If they had done that then they would know that the content looks the same at the smallest and largest font sizes, but the Aura HD has an extra line of text at a few of the intermediate sizes (possibly due to the Aura HD having a screen which is ten pixels taller).

I attached one example.
