I am in the market for a new device but tend to buy for the long term and have bad luck with blind purchases. I can't lay hands on any Kobo devices where I live either. I am considering the Aura One and Aura H20 v2. Previous device - Kindle 4.

Aside from it costing 50 dollars more, the glass front of the Aura One worries me with regard to reflections/depth. I have never used any E-Reader without the sunken/non glass covered display. Can you all comment on that and if its an issue? I tend to have real issues with glossy displays and focusing at times. I prefer to use a reading lamp when I have access to one over a front light if there is a choice, so reflectiveness is going to be a real day to day issue.

Is the reading experience on both devices the same otherwise? They both appear to have the Comfort Light PRO although the One has higher PPI. They are both larger than the Kindle at 7 and 7.8" so both will be an upgrade that way.
