@Ken I just saw on AliExpress that the Aura HD Einkscreen is 49€. So will I invest in getting my Aura HD working again or will I forget about it and think about buying the Aura One whilst reading on the Aura H2O...? Questionssss. I do remember that the substrata thingie is a rather strong argument. I do wonder what the other Ereader producers will do the coming months. Would be nice to have the bendable ebook reader, but now with a good resolution!

What I am wondering about is whether that 1GHz is enough to power that resolution with some speed. I always have been rather irritated by the faster 6" devices which use the same core as the larger 6.8" devices. After using them for a while, the H2O just seems sluggish.

@ottdmk In Holland the ebook lending still uses a webpage. So downloading via the browser seems a viable option. If Overdrive also has a webpage interface, doesn't that mean that you already can download ebooks, too?
