You got the main points, but for me, the resolution is also a very iportant difference. The aliassing artifacts and jagged font edges are very visible to me on the Aura with the naked eye at regular reading distance.. (I'm nearsighted, so my regular reading distance is closer to the face than most.)

300 dpi devices are nice, and sharper, but the difference between, say, Kindle Oasis and Aura H20 is really very subtle and could only be spotted holding them side by side. If I were buying a new device, my current choice, sorted by cost point....

Amazon Paperwhite 3, Kobo H20 2nd Ed, and depending on need for text selection, Kobo Aura One or Kindle Oasis 2

The cheap Aura is jut not worth it by any measure.
