For the record, I've owned and used an assortment of PW1s, PW2s, Kobo Aura HDs and now an H20.
I wonder if it's because of the capacitive screen vs infrared screen? From what I've heard, the 6" Aura (which has a capacitive screen) has a lot of issues with how the screen looks compared to the HD and the H2O. For me, I love the way the screen looks on my Aura HD, but the inconsistency of the infrared touch screen makes me want to throw it through the wall. When I'm immersed in a book and have to try 2 or 3 times to turn the page it just ruins the reading experience.
