It'll be interesting to see, that's for sure.(whether new Aura suffers the same bugs, or gets fixes and we're still stuck with them, or we all get fixes?) I have to give Kobo credit for continuing to give us firmware updates for older models, and I hope that continues.
Frankly, I can't say the existing bugs affect me to any great degree, but they do affect others who can be quite vocal, and rightfully so. I want to see them fixed so people have a positive user experience, and also so that when I get to the point where they'll affect me(external SDHC issues, etc.), they will already be gone.
I've said it before, they have great hardware, a nice physical design(minus the red power sliders), and good features in the software(I bought my 1st Kobo because of the variable weight fonts and other adjustments, my second for that again and the quality of the lighting), I just want to see them eliminate the system wide problems with SDHC usage, and the niggling little bugs that need chasing. And no, "but we're going to do that later in an updated version of the reader software that we don't have yet" is not really the reply customers want to hear. But if so, make it clear you can't fix those things because of lack of access to code or licensing concerns and chances are people would quit kvetching about them!
