He said that it's the serial number on the box sticker and in the device which server as manufacturer warranty, not the store receipt. I have no idea what is the impact but I hope I will not have to deal with warranty.
Setup went OK, the device selt updates twice, currently version 2.10.0 2013-10-21.
The screen is really good. Now I understand why people prefer eInk for reading. I loaded some ePub and PDF for testing. They all works OK.
Although the PDF reading is rather inconvenient, page turn too slow, no bookmarks (fast access via the Table of contents), the zoom and page scroll is sluggish. Overall, I still prefer to read a PDF on the 4.7" screen of my Android phone. I will try to load Koreader on the Aura HD to see if this could improve the PDF reading.

I think you need Koreader to have the best pdf experience on Kobo. Take advantage of the great work the developers have done to improve the performance of Kobo:-) Yes, they did it for free!
