I really think Kobo should have used a different name for the new Aura. I mean, different size screen, different resolution, capacitive rather than I/R touch, etc etc. It doesn't sound like the same device to me and is bound to lead to much confusion.
As has already been noted, the WH Smith website lists the Aura HD as simply Aura. I emailed them yesterday asking when the black and pink versions of the 6" Aura will be available for pre-order - no reply so far though. The pink version isn't even an option for pre-order on the UK Kobo website. Not that I'm going to pre-order though as I do prefer to see devices in person first.
