So my main concern is still there : selecting text (to look in the dictionnary for exemple) is still non accurate by large (you put your finger on a word and it's an other one 3 or 4 word after/before that is selected, furthermore if the word you want to look for is near the side). The fact that I'm reading with a very small police size is perhaps the explanation. I'm still able to go in the dictionnary to look for the word even if I can't select it, but it's a pity.
Despite this drawback, I'm happy with my Aura One. Hope it will improve with the next firmware. As said above : I'm able to read comfortably with it and that's it.

My Aura One rocks! I have to say this is the most pleased I have ever been about an e-reader - ever. Despite the teething issues reported widely by many users (particularly the horrible third-party customer service company they use), this is the e-reader I've been waiting for since the beginning: large screen, great UI, a good bookstore and excellent typography handling. I far prefer it to my Kindle and has actually got me to stop purchasing paper books. Great product, and I'm sure they'll continue to improve the platform, and iron out the kinks.

I hesitated for weeks before buying my KA1 but I'm glad I did, it's beautifully made. I can imagine in years to come when we're all using colour ereaders with flexible two page screens, people will look back and say "yeah remember the Aura One, that was a classic ereader, they don't make 'em like that anymore"
That's how I feel about my old Ekco AM radios...timeless classics!
