I exchanged my 2nd aura hd (working) for a broken aura hd and some cash. The "new" unit came with IR broken, but IR is ok. The problem is the case, because the inners are broken and IR touch driver can't get any signal from the plastic part.

The exciting part:
The screen of the "new" device is A LOT OF better than my other device (which had, until this moment, the best aura hd screen I saw). So I replaced both motherboards and now I have an "great aura hd" and a spare kobo without touchscreen (again, because the plastic frames, not the IR) to use for a project.

I don't know, but I would like an alarm clock with an e-ink screen and a big snooze button to turn on the lights during a few seconds...

Please share your ideas about repurposing an ereader. Thanks
