So unfortunately my Aura One's screen broke for no apparent reason. Since shipping it internationally to get it fixed is out of the question, I've been looking at replacement devices.

Unfortunately the eReader market has been especially stagnant lately, so I might as well get something older. Refurbished Aura HD goes for a little over 110$, which I think is reasonable. So anyway, my questions are..

1) Is the contrast that much worse than the H2O that I previously owned?

2) How is the white-colored Aura HD? Is the white bezel distracting? Does the plastic degrade and become yellow over time?

3) Any other issue specific to this model?

4) Any other device that can be had for relatively cheap? Maybe not even a Kobo if it's actually good.
