Thanks for the input. I can live with the glitches and the slightly sub-par performance issues compared to Kindle, but not with the uneven lighting. This is much more noticeable in the dark, which is when I read most. A shame, because I really do like the warm light feature, and now I've found my way around, I'm happy with the general use of the device and (since installing the plugins) the way it integrates with Calibre.

I certainly prefer the feel of the Kindle in the hand. The Clara has a slippy, cheap plasticky feel to me. I was hoping the Aura H20 would have a similar slightly rubberised back like the K. Paperwhite, which would be a real incentive to give it a try. I still might, just to get the warm screen lighting - and the larger screen size is very tempting too.

I also wont be locked into Amazon bookstore, and thanks to Calibre, never have been, so that's not been an issue for me with owning a Kindle. But as I said before, it's probably only a matter of time before Amazon will stop supporting the older desktop Kindle versions. Kobo is my plan B.
