The difference really is small enough not to matter while reading, only while comparing.

But since it does have a front light that means if you decide not to keep it you'll probably find it easy to get your money back selling it.

The Aura's firmware is slightly more advanced than the Mini although not much. It's a pretty nice device with a flush bezel, very small and light with a 6" screen. It's not a whole lot bigger than the Mini.

I'll back up Barry's Aura recommendation. The 6" Kobo Aura is a very nice device. Very small in comparison with the Glowlight 3 and with a flush screen. The screen isn't as nice as the Glowlight 3, but it still looks good to me.

I bought mine off of eBay from the same seller Barry used and I have no complaints.
