I don't have a Kobo Aura but I do have both a Kindle Paperwhite 2 (768x1024 212ppi) and a Kindle Paperwhite 3 (1072x1448 300ppi). Imho, the PW2 isn't quite clear enough for manga so I expect the Kobo Aura wouldn't be good enough either. As it is, I think the PW3 with its 6" 300ppi display already pushes the limits of legibility.

Where are you located though? I've seen refurbished Kobo Aura HD for $70 + shipping on ebay.

P.S.: I just ordered a Kobo Glo HD (same screen as PW3) myself and plan on doing an internal SD card upgrade (to 64/128GB).
