I'll have a go tomorrow. TBH, front light temperature/font weight is fixed on the pw2, not so on the Aura One. So not sure what it will achieve.

copy from the "just preordered aura one" thread
Sorry, I don't know how to give a link to just one post in a thread, and hadn't noticed this new thread, so I copy here most of the post of my first impressions

Well I'd like to say I've been on this board a long time and it seems to me this is the most excitement I've seen for a new device since dare I say the 1st aesthetically pleasing kindle???

How do you have it already?! I pre-ordered from Rakuten/Kobo in Canada just after midnight EST Time on Aug. 30. (I'm on US East Coast). Anyone have any idea when they will ship? Can't wait to see it.

I love my Kindle Voyage. I was lucky enough to get one with a perfect screen (and I'm VERY picky!) I plan to use my Kobo Aura One mostly at home and my Voyage for travel.

I sent back two Oasis (Oases??). Screen was blotchy and yellow. I was very disappointed. Sent back one H2O for connectivity reasons. I have high hopes for the Aura One! Looks beautiful!

One thing I loved about the Voyage was the text on it looked like it was floating, really popped out. Wasn't on the Oasis. Wonder if the Kobo is the same? Glad to hear that a bigger screen means more immersive reading - music to my ears! According to tracking info my device hasn't even been scanned at the post office yet, even though I got an email confirming it being shipped yesterday... grrrrrrrrr!!! |

Am I the only one who hasn't had their Chapters/Indigo pre-order shipped? I pre-ordered on the 29th.
