There are 2 reasons why my Aura HD is coming to the end of its life:
1) When I want to forward a page, every now and then it forwards 2 or sometimes even 3 pages. So, I need to check the page counter at the top every time I forward to the next page. This behaviour has gradually started about 1 year ago.
2) The USB socket to charge the book reader (and transfer books to it) is getting worn out. I tried many USB cables and only have one left to get the best results when charging/transfer ebooks to it. I even bought a new USB micro cable but the device USB port is simply worn out due to its age and usage during the many many years.
I've used the Auro HD with much pleasures over the many many years but once I cannot charge it anymore, it's definitely the end of it. I like the quality and flexibility of the KOBO readers but as I do not want to have any color version, the Tolino Vision 6 is a good alternative but the (very) short battery life is a road block for me. Quite likely I'm going to purchase the PocketBook Era 7". Though the Kindle Paper White 6.8" seems to have an excellent battery life, I do not want to part of the Amazon Eco system, apart from the very limited ebook types it can handle.
