I ordered a red one yesterday and received it today! It's very nice. Works as advertised. My Aura HD is brown and the red complements it nicely.

Have you tried fiddling with the fonts in Advanced? I found that making the fonts slightly heavier really helps.

I have done this, and have done it on all the Kobo's that I own.

I have no complaints at all about the screens, but I do think the PW2 screen still has the greater contrast - the darks pop out on PW2 screen.

I'm very happy with the Aura HD, though - I enjoy the form factor and the screen much more than the Kobo Glo. I even like the plastic feel, which (to my thinking), does NOT lend a 'plasticky' feel to the Aura. Rather, it feels solid, looks 'rich' and performs like a high-end reader.



ADDED: While there are many things I like about the PW2, I find myself more fully enjoying reading on the Kobo Aura HD, because of the reasons cited above.

With the larger screen of the Aura HD, which I've had now almost a year, I don't think I could ever go back to a 6" inch screen ereader. The extra screen real estate is too much of a "must have" for me now;; the Kindle screen seems so much smaller
