Aura no longer for sale?
I somehow broke my Aura's screen two weeks ago. The day I did, I checked prices on both Best Buy, and Walmart. When I got paid this Friday, neither of these places list Aura's, or anything besides Glo's actually. Nor does K-mart, Target, Newegg, or anywhere else that I can think of.

Did I miss something? Should I continue trying to read on my phone in the hope that that means they're going to reveal something better ASAP, should I see about getting a new Aura from eBay, or see about finding some other company's reader?

They're still for sale on Kobo's website. I don't recall most of the places you mention ever selling that model.

If you are in Canada, here's the link to the Kobo Aura at Walmart.

Someone in the forum here on MR has a Glo for sale. That might be your best bet. I've gotten lucky and found an Aura and an Aura HD and a Glo on ebay and Amazon for low prices, but it takes constant stalking and quick clicking. Most of it's running too high right now, but there are a couple of reasonable GLO's on Amazon ($87 for the white/pink).
