I hated the aura and love the glo HD.

I know many prefer capacitive, and it is fine for phones whose screen quality nowadays is very good (except in winter on the go, when by the time I find the phone and take off a glove it is too late), and it might be ok with kindle, but kobo auras add a yellowish fuzzy gridded layer which makes for poor reading. Also the borders are narrow, and I often slipped when holding it, with reading disruptions.

EDIT: even with borders as narrow on a device with infrared, there is less risk of slipping because of the level difference.
