I will admit to owning both the KA1 (personal) and the iPad Pro 10.5 (work) and have only handled a Kindle DX on a couple of occasions.
I tend to stick to epub/mobi files and the backlight of the iPad has always killed my eyes, especially at night. I think the exclusive benefit I would see would be the larger screen, 9.7 versus 7.8, but this would be killed for me if font and formatting limitations from eight years ago render the Aura One more versatile. In other words, if I can keep the same size font but customize the space better between the lines and actually have more words per page on the Aura One at the same size than the DX, there's literally no benefit to the DX.

Does anyone even still use one anymore?
