Shhh! We're not supposed to see that for another 3 hours 4 minutes (by my clock).

Looks like no SD card slot, which is a bother to some, but no issue to me. 4GB is plenty for my needs.

There you go ;)

Any estimates on how soon Chapters will have it up for pre-order?

The read books from a library seems to either have either been a part of other devices, at least the H2O, or added to their descriptions. The H2O also lists it in supported formats.

The Glo HD looks like everything we thought it would be, which means it's not going to tempt me in to replacing my H2O.

There is a contest on that page open to anyone who wants to send Kobo a postcard:

Ditto. Nice cover though.

*sigh* I just upgraded from my Nook STR to an Aura H2O, and while I love it, it's just large enough to be too uncomfortable. I think it has to do with the weight distribution, because it's only marginally larger than the STR but my hand gets much more tired when holding it. The Glo HD seems to be exactly what would work for me, but I can't justify having two readers and probably won't be able to sell off the H20.

Damn you, Kobo!! (lol)

A tip for the H2O, since I also transitioned from a Nook (though for me it was the Glowlight), try holding the H2O from the bottom with the corner in the crook of your thumb and index finger. Your other fingers should run at a comfortable slant along the back of the H2O.

I found that was much easier than the way I was holding my Nook, from the side rather than the bottom.

Though if you did just buy it, you may be within the returns window.

What is the price in Canada? There is no pre-order or pricing link available for US viewers.

$129.99

It's even lighter than the Voyage (180g vs. 188g).

nice product! Curious to see it vs the Aura H2O ...
