If Kobo would reissue the Aura with a Carta 300 DPI screen (and make it waterproof), I'd be a very happy camper.
How big of a deal is the flush screen to you? I really disliked that my first Kindle (the Kindle 3) had a recessed screen, and the dust getting in the edges really bothered me. The Voyage, when it came out, was an insta-buy for me because of the page turn buttons and flush screen.

I'd not contemplated the used market, but if the original aura is that good, then that might be a good option too. I think I would miss the clarity and contrast from the Voyage too much though. Do you have a more modern alternative to compare it to?
