I've asked everyone I could at Kobo about whether they will ever stock SleepCovers for the Aura again and no one has been able to give me a straight answer. Likewise my questions about a bright dot on the screen.
This.

Despite my horrendous experience with Kobo "customer service" I was seriously considering a Glo or Aura as I'm having a recurrent issue with Nook Glowlight screen defects. However once you mention a bright dot on the screen, I think Kobos might have the same problem. And unlike B&N I'm 100% sure Kobo won't replace the defective unit. B&N just replaced my STG for the third time, even though I'm one month out of the warranty period. I'll stick with the company that at least backs up their product.
