My excitement is muted with this line up.

Kobo has updated their site with the new eReader.

Let's look at the New Aura screen specs compared to the other eReaders:

Glo: 6" XGA Pearl E Ink touchscreen; 1024x768 resolution; 16-level grey scale
Aura HD: 6.8" WXGA+ Pearl E Ink Screen ClarityScreen+: 265 dpi, 1440 x 1080 resolution
Aura: 6" High-res Pearl E Ink ClarityScreen with low-flash waveform; 1014 x 758, 16 level grey scale

This is shocking, the Aura screen resolution is lower than the Glo. it seems to be step backwards. There is no point in getting the Aura if you have already have the Glo.

-------------

Kobo Arc 7: I don't know why this product exist. The specs are just poor compared to the other 7" tablets out there. You may has spend the extra $50 to get the Kobo Arc 7 HD.

Kobo Arc 7 HD: The specs are not too bad. But it has to fend off other 7" tablets like the Nexus 7 2013.

Kobo Arc 10 HD: At first I thought it was 10" e-Ink reader, but I was wrong. The tablet is too big to hold as a reader and I don't it has the image as an all purpose tablet compared to the Asus Transformer line or the Samsung tablets.
