However completing the setup after this point - i.e. adding wifi & kobo account information and syncing - borks it again.

If I don't have this fixed by EOD, I'm returning this damned thing tomorrow for a refund and getting a kindle.
If you read the threads on the Voyage on MR you will see many Voyage's going back to Amazon for noticeable color shifts. This happened with the PW1 and the PW2 as well. So yes, it's possible to get defective units. That does not make the entire line bad just because you've received one bad unit.

Have you ever (or know someone) who has bought a new car that had something wrong with it? That's what the warranty is for.

I suggest getting the Aura replaced and not jumping to a Kindle which you could also end up wanting to send back.
