The extra layers used by kobo made the image (and text rendering) look very fuzzy, as well as lower contrast. The screen on the Aura was a noticeable downgrade from the previous generation Kobo Glo.

I'm guessing it would still be an improvement over my Nook Simple Touch w/Glowlight. The higher resolution alone would make up for whatever deficiencies the bad implementation of the capacitive screen causes.
I have seen the grid you mention on my tablet, when holding it at an angle. But I never see it when the screen is on.

*That* is my concern! I love how the Aura looks, but if the screen is too sensitive to touch, it could be a total PITA.
I don't understand why the major e-reader manufacturers have moved away from page turn buttons. By their nature, e-readers don't need to be sleek, high end devices. (I say as I salivate over the pretty design of the Aura
)
