Hope I didn't get anyone's hopes up there. I was interested in getting the Kobo Aura and I live in Japan so I sent off a quick email to Kobo Help and this is their reply:

That sounds to me a lot like "yes it's coming but we're not ready to let the official details sneak out of the bag". I sent them a similar email when the Aura was released and got a much more certain "We have no plans to release the Aura HD in Japan".
So hopefully it's on it's way some time! The new Kindle comes out at the end of October over here but I guess they must feel confident that they can let them release first.
