I was in WH Smith today and couldn't resist having a look at the Aura.
I have to say it seemed enormous compared to my Mini.
Very responsive though and a lovely display.
The sales guy wandered by to tell me 'that's the Aura you're looking at'
'Yes, I know'
'We've only got one left in stock'
I saw in The Register that Nook were being heavily discounted,
possibly as a prelude to issuing a new, smaller range of e-readers,
so maybe there's smoe truth in the rumours after all.
I'm beginning to think that Kobo have got the right sales pitch -
people don't want to be locked inside walled gardens, they just want
an e-reader and be able to read books from wherever.
Imagine how it would be if you could only buy dead-tree books
from one chain of bookshops.
Anti-competition lawyers would have a field day.
