I have a similar experience (with the Aura One and Oasis 2). I keep the Oasis 2 with me most of the time for its better dictionary, more accurate touchscreen, better handling of PDF files, and speedier general operation; overall it is the better choice for doing reading for essays. But when it comes to sitting down and reading a book from start to finish, the Aura One is better: text formatting and progress display are just how I like them.
