I'm guessing that Kobo does not get the kind of pricing for manufacturing that Amazon does--economies of scale being what they are. Specs like the Fire would probably not have a Fire-like price for Kobo. I am looking forward to seeing what the screen looks like outdoors.

Featuring a brilliant multimedia touchscreen, readers can experience text with high contrast resolution and immerse themselves in books, magazines, games and videos in vivid color. Kobo uses the most advanced 7 inch AFFS+ display, with anti-glare – the same technology used in airplane cockpits (there are no clouds at 30,000 feet) – for great reading indoors or outdoors and featuring an extra-wide angle for incredible viewing and ideal for shared reading and viewing.
