I don't find the security issue to be significant, but I did try the PIN. It looks like a nice implementation that would satisfy many of the concerns expressed on this thread. I will likely use it only when I travel, since my e-reader is usually an in-door e-reader.
I did leave my Aura on a plane last year. I was reading a history of a well-known research team, not racy, but I admit I blushed a little when I thought of someone opening the sleep cover and seeing the title Masters of Sex.
Personally I was more concerned about the Aura than account security, and about the trip I was taking a few days later without an e-reader. I survived, the account was safe and the e-reader was returned (yea United Airlines!)
