I prefer the home screen of the 6-inch Voyage, which allows for bigger images of book covers, despite its smaller size. Unlike the rest of the Aura One, this view looks like it's unbalanced, with a lot of blank space at the bottom of the first two columns. If you're using the Pocket read-later service on your device, the home screen will also show a link to your most recently read article there. The screen uses a grid-based interface to present recommendations, links to the four most recently read titles, stats about your reading and news about recently downloaded firmware updates.

The Kobo Aura One packs a lot into its home screen, but it seems a little unorganized. Some scientists believe that when you reduce your exposure to blue light during bedtime, it makes it easier for you to fall asleep. The Aura One is also made for better reading at night, as its Natural Light settings allow you to adjust the panel's color profile as the night progresses, and set a bedtime timer that automatically reduces blue light. This is easily adjustable, but I'd rather own an e-reader with settings that didn't need tending to. The automatic display settings for the Kindle Voyage, on the other hand, tended to use too much light when I read it in our well-lit office. Whether I was on our roof at noon on a sunny day or in a low-lit room, my eyes felt comfortable while I read books on the Aura's display. (Image credit: Jeremy Lips / Tom's Guide)
