Well, it sounds like a new tablet, not just an e-ink reader. The Nexus 7 (2013) is hitting the German shelves on the 30th, and I consider getting one, but perhaps Kobo has something awesome in store, too. The Nexus is pretty hard to beat, though, especially at that price point.
As for an e-ink reader, well, I'm quite happy with the Glo. Color e-ink from Kobo would surprise me, and would be hard to resist for me. A bigger than 6" monochrome reader wouldn't, and nobody seems to want to make a 5" or smaller one with frontlight.
