Ah, then thanks for the heads-up, Stars.
I'm glad also that Kobo's sticking it out in the ereader market.
Touchscreen and wifi. Hmm. If I had only the Kobo, I wouldn't upgrade for those features alone. However, as a new buyer, the new Kobo would definitely capture my interest. Wifi is always convenient, and I feel sometimes that touchscreens in gadgets are dismissed as gimmicks when they can actually prove to be very useful. A wifi and touchscreen Kobo would be very nice indeed.
