Hi!
I'm really into kobo readers, if we can say. I have two of them, both are kinda old. The first gen kobo Touch and the first Aura (2013, non-hd) version.

The thing is, I like to read more on my kobo Touch even though it doesn't have frontlight, so I bought for it a kobo LED light, but it's a bit uncomfy. The Aura has frontlight, but here's my problem: The screen is blurry, compared to the Touch. The Touch has an infrared display, the Aura has capacitive touch, which causes the blurry effect.

But I want to buy a new one, with sharp screen and frontlight as well.

I don't have the ability to try them out, just buy them from kobo store / elsewhere, so here is my question:

which one has the sharpest display from the two? Kobo Aura Edition 2 or Clara HD? On the internet you can just read about raw specs and other (for me) useless specs I already know.

I don't mind the lower DPI, if I have a non-blurry sharp display.
Thank you.)
