Yes...but some people really don't like IR touch. ('m one of them) I didn't like it on the original Kindle Touch, and I don't like it on my Kobo Aura HD. The Kindle touch I got rid of after fighting with it for a few months, the Aura HD I've kept because I really do like the ability to make the fonts bolder, and the finer control over font size.

I've thought about getting the Aura ONE, and I may, if Kobo fixes the other thing that I don't like...having to connect my Kobo to my computer in order to load books that don't come from Kobo. If they were to offer a way to store my side-loaded books on Kobo's servers (or even a way to easily access my books from somewhere else) then I probably will pull the trigger.
