I'll just be using what I have until it dies or one my kid's ereaders dies and then they inherit mine and I get a new one.
For me my ereaeder does pretty much all I want in an ereader and I'm very happy with it (Kobo Glo).

Still, my daughter's ereader has recently started showing permanent artifacts on one point of the screen on her Kobo Touch, so she might be getting my Glo soonish anyway.
At which point I'll be getting whatever the latest Kobo ereader is. I expect I'll get something around November, which is when her Birthday is.

I was going to vote "no, I own a Kobo Aura HD" but to tell you the truth, I don't know if I would buy a second gen model or not--it would depend on the features. I would probably buy it if they changed to a capacitive screen--the IR screen is the only thing I really don't like about it. However, if they changed to a capacitive screen and made it flush like they did the 6" Aura, I wouldn't buy it--I like having the raised bezel, as it helps me know where exactly to touch to turn the page.

I had voted "no, I want a Aura 6" with the new Carta screen technology," but now that I have both an Aura and an Aura HD, I will update to YES, I would love to buy an updated Aura HD. I absolutely love it the best of all my ereaders.

Since the poll was resurrected, I decided to actually vote. I'm in the "no, I own an Aura HD" camp.

However, I would like for this product to exist. Eventually, I will have more spending money, and if anything happens to my Aura HD I would appreciate an up-to-date version existing.
