My hands are larger than average, so sometimes smaller is actually less comfortable

The screen of the Aura H2O looks nice, but (subjectively) not nicer to a degree that would prompt me to make a new purchase while my HD still functions.
Thanks, I am thinking of ordering one to use for non-fiction, which often has a lot of images. I thought maybe the larger screen would be nice for that. But I haven't decided. I have 2 devices with very nice screens, they are 6" Kobo Glo HD and Kindle Voyage.

I ordered one. They are almost gone. Timed it right, hopefully, so that it will arrive next week while DH and my girls are out of town. My boys will be here, but they won't whine, they both just got new Fire Phones.

Well DH found out, but that's ok, since tracking says it will be here Friday. I'll make sure the girls don't see me open it, so I don't have to hear them whine and complain about how many devices I have! (9 & 12 yo girls who each have multiple tablets of their own, and they dare to speak!)

BTW seller only has 3 left. I'll report in on Friday.
