I really don't understand the Aura Edition 2. It seems like Kobo would have been better off keeping the original Aura on the market

With the cold weather at this moment, to be able to read in the street without taking gloves away is a great advantage

Maybe they should market that as a feature

Though I'm almost certain that the Aura Edition 2 has a capacitive screen.

It certainly doesn't work like the IR screen of the Touch. You can use a plastic object, for example, on the Touch, but it does nothing on the Aura Edition 2.

The plastic bezel is very shallow on the Aura Edition 2 so I suspect there isn't room for IR.

Which does make me wonder why the H2O Edition 2 has the slightly darker screen and the grid which you can see at https://hd.tudocdn.net/677628?w=660&h=660 though it's not visible in normal usage. I wonder if that might be for the light?

The Aura Edition 2 doesn't have this and the light isn't as even or smooth.
