I could with some effort probably convert and sideload books using calibre onto the kindle. I thought perhaps in the last 5 years kindle might have added overdrive functionality. The only appeal is that a friend who reads very little has one, that she was offering to me at a discount

So, I'm torn between the Kobo forma and the Aura H20. Is the larger screen worth the extra $100? The Clara is too small, and I liked the screen size on the Aura HD, it was fine. I've heard the Aura H20 is an older model and I'm wondering how much of a concern that is?
