I bought my KOBO not so long ago for $199AUD, why should i have to fork that out again?
My view (personal one) is that they should've done more R&D for the next kobo unit whilst ironing out firmware and software issues on the original unit

Did you buy an orginal Kindle (or 2) as well? Same story there.
My guess for the new Kobo hitting the market now has more to do with the Christmas season coming up and the direct competition between the Kindle and "everyone else". Here in Canada, Kobo has suddenly put themselves in a very good position with this new model. Amazon Canada is perhaps one of the worst online stores I've virtually entered.
If you like your original Kobo and it works, then that's all that matters. No need to buy a new unit unless you have the disposible cash or a need for page speed.
