The default reading program (Nickel) for reading pdf's is a pain; slow response on refresh while zooming in pages (especially if these pages is huge in resolution - above of 1024X758). The benefits of aura is the pinch & zoom function, but for a better reading experience with pdf handling you have a -really- few choices. All of them is mention above of my post.
Koreader: Crop the pdf page into readable pieces, but you lose the zooming feature.
k2pdfopt: Reduce the image size of pdf pages to fit in a 6'' screen. You read the pdf in Nickel (if you like to stay with this reader) and the zooming / rendering is really fast without flickering or blank un-responded screens. But be aware: you may lose some of image/text resolution... You also have the reflow option (even the OCR) (if your pdf is only text).
I think you must try both of those in your aura (like I did).
Alternate device: I think the best device for pdf reading is the tablets this days. Faster processors for rendering, millions of colors (if you decide to read magazines) and big screen to fit the pages and no need to zooming a lot. But all this is another story...
