Tonight I've tried some exotic task, I actually wanted to read.
Hmmmm...
I don't like it much for that.
It's relatively fat (meaning the depth of the unit).
It actually is a bit inconvenient to hold.
And the back doesn't feel "right" as well, it's a bit slippery.
In direct comparison, Kindle Paperwhite 2 is way slimmer and more convenient to hold.
I'll have to test again, but so far a big letdown.
The fold on the back of Kobo Aura HD after all hadn't been such a bad idea, it gave some "grip" to hold.

And:
Sometimes, it was extremely slow.
2 or 3 times I even thought, it had crashed. It had not, but it simply took some time to get back to the library after closing a book. I can't remember, having experienced this on Kobo Aura HD.
