Anyone in Canada pre-ordering the Aura ONE tomorrow?
So I just spoke with Kobo, if you pre-order tomorrow they will ship on Sept 2nd (5-7 business days) and will also be available in stores on Sept 6th.
Are you pre-ordering or going to wait until you find one in store (we are in a small town so I'm thinking of pre-orering it, as I doubt our store will have them on the 6th). Can they not just ship it now and take my money already? I've had my Glo for 4 years and it still works perfectly but I'm totally treating myself on this one. I don't need it but WANT it! I already have a custom case being made for it |

Pre-ordering in USA
I'll pre-order mine tomorrow as soon as I can. Also have a Glo. Be nice if I could sync sideloaded books between the two. I will probably still use the Glo when away from home. I have been mostly reading on my iPad Air2 at home so the KA1 will be a load off my holding hand.

I'm buying one in Japan when I get there this December. I am so jealous of you guys who'll be able to get one this week!

My question is, I just ordered a glo HD from chapters it will be here on Wednesday, is it more economical for me to pre order a "One" from chapters also?

I have an H2O which I'm still fond of, so I won't preorder the One. I will go to my local Chapters to look for one to manhandle though, leaving my credit card at home.

I just ordered mine from Indigo Books for $249.98 Canadian. Says it will arrive by Sept 6th. I'm in Ontario. It's also available bundled with a cover for $309.98, but $60 for a cover is too steep for me.

After successfully placing my order it told me i'd receive the device near the end of October/ early November - that seems a little long for a September release date, no? Maybe thats an Aussie exclusive, or maybe they've included an extra long shipping time? If so, that is such a long time to wait! Either way, don't really see any other options of receiving this device ASAP, unless one of you beautiful, smart cookies can enlighten me? :P Eek so happy!!! My Kindle Paperwhite 2 is cramping my style! Edit: cancelled my order because wanted to go sans cover (80 aud!) So did so and re-ordered. Really, really, REALLY shouldn't be doing this but I consider it an unemployment gift. Huzzah! Last edited by cerem0ny; 08-29-2016 at 06:59 PM. |

I was wavering which way to go since I'd have to drive an hour to get to a Chapters that would likely have one, but since I might be able to get it sooner I caved and ordered online ETA: the Kobo Canada website won't even allow pre-orders until Aug 30 which seems strange since they were talking Aug 26 for pre-order in their press releases IIRC ETETA: even with regular free shipping they are showing it should be delivered by Sept 6, so no extra wait over in store.

I am waiting for the Indigo bookstores to receive the Aura One shipments.
I probably get one next week if it is in stock. |
