probably the best Kobo ereader ever, slightly biased https://www.ebay.com/itm/Kobo-Aura-D...96dc%7Ciid%3A1

too cheap to refuse.

I'm going to disagree. It has a pearl screen. Not as good as a Carta screen. I would go for the Aura 2 second edition.

You have all the reason to be skeptical. I ordered from another seller which sold both pink and black for that exact same price under one account until a few days ago. I looked up the reviews, they had a few bad (about 10) reviews, but mainly for some low quality Harry Potter Wooden Music Box Collection. They also had nearly 900 positives reviews so I decided to take the risk. To my luck I also got tracked shipping. On december 6th my package cleared the chinese customs and I hope it will arrive on the earliest foreseen date on 20th december!

If you can wait that long I will tell you, if it's legit or not.

I scored a pink one. Worth the risk! I know I have a case or two for it here. Couldn't resist! I know it wasn't the best screen but I just loved the Aura 1.

Actually there is no risk, ebay gives a money back guarantee.
You're right, with eBay and PayPal there really is very little risk. And, at $20, there's really not that much risk to start with. If I didn't have too many eReaders already I would take the chance and order one of these. I've always liked the original Aura design. But I need to be selling, not buying.

I dont know why, but I have some slight eye strain issues, when reading on a carta screen. It's worse when there is an infrared touch screen instead of a capacitive layer. Reading on a pearl screen reduces this strain a lot.

I ordered one. For $20, why not? I can always gift it to a reader.

I expect that new FW will have to be flashed, and I'll patch it as well.

My aura 2 has shipped, but the payment for the aura 1 is still pending. It's frustrating!

My Aura Ed1 and Ed2 had not only shipped but also cleared customs in china a few days ago!

I'm sorry to hear that booklover

Looks like my first one (the A2) has cleared customs. Maybe it will help if I call my bank tomorrow, if it doesn't clear. Paypal says the transaction is completed. At least one is on the way!

Not yet! This is the status before custom clearance. This will come next.

But for the Edition 1 I got cleared customs twice. On December 2nd and on 6th again. I dont't know what that means!
