I'll try and post something later this evening or tomorrow morning - himself is now back from work and I need to get our supper going fairly soon.

In the end I didn't get the Aura One as it's not returnable unless faulty, and the extra cost is not really justifiable at the moment. Also, I'm concerned I might have the same issues with the Aura as with the Touch and I'd prefer to keep my ereader as generic as possible.

So I'm looking at some basic 6" eInk Android 4.x devices instead - the Onyx Boox C67ML, the illumite, the inkBook (Classic or Prime) and the Icarus. All are round the £100 mark (as opposed to £190), all seem to have page turn buttons (capacitative screens don't work very well for me), onboard memory is 4 or 8 Gb, and some have front lights. I don't care about apps apart from FBReader and LibraryThing Browser which I'll sideload, so the Kindle, Kobo and Nook apps won't be needed, and Google Play store is irrelevant - I certainly don't get my books from there!
