I see Amazon has a very similar " Neo 2 eReader, 6" E Ink Carta 1300, 300 PPI, Octa-Core, Glare-Free" (similar in form factor), but don't know about. You may try to check some reviews.
Personally I still will be for a second hand and a battery replacement guide: https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/...arting+to+fail
I mean, the Aura HD was fantastic.

I'd rather go with the Aura H2O. The screen is much nicer. The HD is Pearl and the H2O is Carta. Plus with the H20, there's a better chance of a decent battery.
