Kobo Aura Hd or not?

khahoon · 07-05-2013, 02:27 AM

Hi

I own a Kobo Glo which I like a lot. Now I am considering to buy another ereader, and I am considering Aura HD. I like the weight and size of Glo quite a bit. But HD one adds nice resolution and more screen space.

At this point I am not in a hurry. Shall I wait a bit more to see what is coming up? Shall I consider HD now? Are there new devices that might come up soon that will offer better tech than Aura HD?

thanks

I was looking at Aura yesterday in a shop. My two ereaders are over 2 years old so a new gadget is tempting. But I will wait till September to see. Since you have a newer Glo and Aura is similar but bigger I'd wait. I bought my K3 exactly to the day 2 years ago (July 5th) and then was kicking myself when Touch was released in September. I'm not going to make the same mistake again.

What do you think's going to happen in September, Chi?

If you are not in a hurry, you might as well wait and see what Sony do with their next release, there's already a few rumours/articles about it online. And if you wait until that is confirmed, then you might just have a couple of months to wait and see if Amazon are going to announce a new reader too.

I estimate, based on previous years' observations, that a few new ereaders will be announced. I think T3 is likely to appear. And perhaps a new Kindle. If it is so then there will be more to choose from. If not, well, not a loss either way.

Edit, copied from another thread.

some new ones seem to be coming

Hi

Thanks for all the opinions. I think I will wait a bit to see if there is anything new coming up. On the other hand, does anyone have links to upcoming ereader speculations? I am not sure where to look for that.

@HarryT btw how on earth were you able to post 55555 (assuming it is real) posts in 7 years?

thanks

That's only 22 posts a day, which isn't a lot for some of us. I can only imagine what my count would be if I didn't occasionally wander off for a month or two at a time.

And... here's a link to the current Sony speculation thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=216687

You can also keep an eye on the various ereader sub-forums for release info. Sometimes info gets posted in those before it hits the News forum.
