Personally, I'll only upgrade my Aura reader with another Kobo if they release one with both an SD slot and a comfort light. Otherwise I'll wait for a foreign knock-off which offers both of those + Android.

Good question Nate. I'd also like to know the source.

Indeed!

I'm for using the best tool for the job, so for EPUBs I use Kobo stock, and likely to install KOReader for PDF/CBZ. With stock and custom firmware optimized to take advantage of the full-width of the display, my 6" Aura should be sufficient for years to come displaying any supported format comfortably.
