The images on the screen were nice and dark, but often graphics are darker and sharper than the actual fonts on these, so it doesn't tell you much. At any rate, the flush screen impressed me and am glad that I got the Tolino Vision 2. If the build is similar to the original Kobo Aura (which I think it is) I can see why you like the Aura.

Target had a demonstration on the screen, but I was able to exit out of it. I think not letting potential buyers experiment with the display model is a mistake. Maybe they figure Kindle is such a known quantity at this time that isn't needed?
The new Paperwhite does remind me of my Aura. I still have a soft spot for that little device, which is partly why the Glowlight Plus hasn't completely taken over my reading life.
