Some of the negatives in that review are more related to the state of the technology of eInk. Changing fonts and sizes is not smooth, he says... but the device doesn't use a computer-type video display and driver, so it is actually the limitations of eInk that cause that jerkiness, I believe.
In any case, I am getting it because of the screen size; the original Aura shows much more like the real size of a paperback page; far less turning involved. I think this will be even better. Sometimes when reading you need to quickly go back a para or two to re-establish your place, so the more the merrier. Although Stephen King once said 'if you have to reread a sentence to get it, the author didn't do his job', some stories will make me daydream for a second...
