Yes, I did read your post.

This ereader was not the planned device that Kobo would claim. Instead the design and build quality suggests that timing was more important than quality.
I can point out many flaws about Kobo, but one thing they have always gotten correct is that Kobo has hired Ideo to design the Kobo hardware. This firm has been working with Kobo since the very beginning, and Ideo is the reason that all Kobo hardware (except for the Aura HD) has a quilted backside, a rubberized shell, and a generally aesthetically pleasing appearance.
The Aura HD, on the other hand, feels and looks like the shell was made from cheap plastic. Instead of the quilted backside, this ereader has a funky weird double ridged backside that I am still trying to understand. It is clearly inferior in design and materials, and I think that is a telling clue in support of the rumor.

Basically you're suggesting that because the back is different than the quilted back then it obviously must be a reader that was not designed by Kobo but by Nook. Which is pretty crazy talk because the design of the screen should have nothing to do with the back. If a reader has a back with a crease in it then it could just as easily have a back with a normal quilting-that would not have taken any time at all to change.
