Thought I'd chime in with some incorrigible evidence that typography is indeed better on the Aura/Kobo, at least when compared to books without enhanced typesetting - there are noticeable differences in kerning, ligatures, character and word spacing etc. that makes reading much more seamless and immersive than on the Kobo, pictured here... As for enhanced typesetting, the improvements do make a big difference, but only so much as as that they have finally caught up with their epub counterparts. Sticking with Kobo from now, as long as they don't screw up the QC on the hardware of their latest device! Take all my money!
