"Processing" indeed took a week, whatever the heck "Processing" is. On Thursday, a week after my order was placed Kobo sent an email notifying me of shipment. Tracking seemed to disappear after the package crossed the border, but yesterday it showed processing and shipment from the Chicago processing center. That is good news. I would think I should take receipt of my new Aura Hd on Monday for Tuesday since I am only 330 miles from Chicago. Roughly 5 days for shipment. Actually Kobo email support was helpful when I inquired into my order. Still it is an annoyance that confirmation of the order had to be obtained from said Support and that my credit card was charged on the day of order, not shipment.
I own a Sony T1 which I like but the specs for the Aura Hd were enticing enough for me to add a second E ink reader. Especially wanted the illumination and enhanced display.
My preference is for mechanical page turn buttons as an on-screen alternative but will live with it. I have and still use two LCD readers. The eReader that started it all, Rocket E book and a follow-on reader the eBookwise-1150. In many ways the Rocket E book reader is still my favorite device. Very capable for a generation 1 device, very well thought out.
I hope the Aura Hd arrives in good working order. Anxious to put it through its paces.
