I have a Kobo Aura and a couple of Kindle Paperwhites, the Paperwhite 1 and 2. I think the screen on the Paperwhite is considerably better when comparing them. The smaller size and weight of the Aura make it a lot easier and more comfortable to hold while reading, and they have the same screen size.
The Aura gives you finer control over fonts but no matter how much controlling you do the Paperwhite text is better and the screen has more contrast.
The problem is that when reading with them, as opposed to comparing them side by side, whichever I'm reading with seems perfect.
My suggestion is to toss a coin.
However, if you plan to also buy the books from the device's supplier then I'd get the Paperwhite. Amazon has a better store and much better prices.
