I'd probably just start screaming and mess myself. To answer the actual question... PW2 for me, if those were my only options.

I was deciding between those two and just this week ordered the Paperwhite. Since I was replacing a Kindle Keyboard, staying within the Amazon ecosystem and the ability to read in landscape orientation tipped the balance over the larger form factor and customizable fonts of the Aura HD.

It's large and in charge. Nothing beats that beautiful screen. And from what I can see the frontlight on the HD is without equal as well.

Thanks for inputs so far.. keep them coming.. I like both KPW2 and Kobo Aura HD.. so kinda tough choice.. the Kobo is bigger though.. sheesh.. I love my Nexus 7.2 but sometimes the screen glare bothers me for long term reading.. not so with the E Ink..
and I love the Amazon Book selections and pricing..

Why the Aura HD and not the 6" Aura? I just bought the latter last week, and as soon as Kobo fixes my bad tracking number I'll know when it should arrive (hopefully this week).

With everybody's friend Apprentice Alf, there's no reason to be limited to any single store for book purchases.

Thanks in advance..
Hopefully take it away from him, without being shot, and then feed it to him.
I am not advocating resistance against someone with a gun, but something similar happened to me once. I would have run or given them what they wanted, unfortunately I did not have a chance and it was resist or be shot. In some circumstances you do not have a choice.

Aura HD, I love it. Also love my 6" Aura, it's my traveling reader, lol! Beautiful light on both of them; no pinpricks either, I really lucked out on that front from what I've read here.
