I had an ad appear in my browser for an Aura HD for $89. This is from Kobo.com and does not show as a refurbished reader, although another ad in my browser showed a refurbished HD for the same price. Both show free shipping. I don't know where Kobo came up with "New" stock.

I have an Aura 6", but wonder if it would be worthwhile to get the larger, HD reader at this price. I am not inclined to go for the H2O (old or new), and while the Aura One sounds great, it is way out of my price range.

So, is the resolution and size a huge difference? Are there other drawbacks with the HD that I will notice as a Aura 6" user? I have no problems with my Aura, and like the flush bezel, but I have nothing to compare it too. I have an HD sitting in my Kobo.com cart... I Just have to decide to push the button, or not.
