Which store in Toronto selling the Kobo with discount? And what is the "new Aura"? I suppose the new version has an indication on the barcode sticker, something like Aura HD version 2?

You are welcome. Actually I think textbooks with columns also work well as many ereader support read in columns but not those with a lot of graphics. In fact, if the instructor doesn't say the students must use the newest editions, I would suggest that students buy second-hand textbooks of older editions. You can order from U.S. online second-hand bookstores - much cheaper than in Canada because of the population and better post service. Most books are under 7 dollars after shipping to Canada, which of course takes 2-3 weeks for the low postage. It is always easier to go through pages (really study
back and forth the pages with a physical book!
By "new Aura" I meant the "Aura" that had come out in Sept - 6", lower resolution, smaller size. It is just called "Aura", instead of "Aura HD".
The store is TECHSOURCE 1012 GERRARD STREET TORONTO, only this location and no online sale. The device comes new in box with warranty but my receipt says all sales are final, no refund. So be cautious! With stores like Bestbuy, you can easily return and exchange at the store. Their ad on Kijiji says it is a one day blowout but I have seen the ad since I bought mine on 27th, Oct. Look for the ad and call first.
