Only thing I do not like about the Aura Edition 2 is the keyboard is so small I have a hard time typing. I love love the overdrive. So cool to be able to loan a book from library without having to use a computer. The screen is much more clear and crisp than the kindle or nook

Which Kindle and Nook are you comparing to? Any of the Kindle Paperwhites or Nooks from the past few years have better screens than the Aura Edition 2. That's one of the things it was knocked for at the time of release.

Yeah, I'd say the latest Nook wins for crisp, clear screen.

I feel like overall, Nook's biggest issue is Barnes and Noble's current woes and their lack of attention to the Nook brand. My Glowlight 3 is a lovely device with a very clear screen and even glowlight/nightlight, hampered by lackluster and glitchy software.

The Aura and Aura 2 have something like 212 ppi. My Aura still looks okay to me, but compared to the Glowlight 3 with 300 ppi, you can really see the difference.

Didn't know the Glo had 300 ppi... to bad they stopped making them when I was buying my Kobo 2 years ago. I think they stopped making my Aura since I got this on [2 years ago] Cant find any to get a gen price to sell it. With all its extras asking $75 but who knows how low I have to go.

If you're referring to the Kobo Glo, it didn't have 300 ppi; the Kobo Glo HD did have 300 ppi.

Does the original Aura have a Pearl screen rather than an E-Carta one? It seems like I read that in a comparison article about it and the Tolino Vision (which is extremely similar, hardware-wise).

Has anyone bought a Walmart ebook gift card? Is there tax charged on it? If you buy one is there a service fee, so the actual amount you can spend on ebooks is less than the nominal gift card amount? For example, a $50 card costs $53 dollars, or a $50 card costs $50, but only allows you to buy $47 of ebooks? I have noticed that the price of ebook gift cards for a specific ebook seems to be list price, so if the ebook happens to be on sale, you don't get the discounted price.

Even Kobo cannot sell ebooks anymore without collecting sales tax in the states sales tax applies. Walmart has always collected tax on gift cards or pre paid phone cards. The amount on the card is what you get to spend, but tax is added at the register. There is no reason for Walmart to not collect tax on ebooks unless the state is tax free for ebooks.

Then buy the card that's Not for a certain ebook. Then use it to buy the ebook you was ... you will get it at Sale Price.

My state (CT) has a different sales tax rate for ebooks (1% vs 6.35%)(at least Amazon uses a different tax rate.), I would hope that Walmart would charge the 1% rate on ebook gift cards.

The most current. I find the screen quality better than the Oasis and Nook Glowlight 3. Except for the Aura all my devices are the most recent models
