A little quick armchair legwork on the phone and I found the bookseller nearest me that had them in stock. Made a little drive, bought a Glo, went nearby and had a nice lunch while upgrading the firmware just in case there was an issue, and was reading before my steak sandwich was served. That place makes great steak sandwiches!

Excellent advice: be sure to verify over the phone. My local "independent bookstore" (a university) finally put the Aura or Aura HD on their website in January. So I take the drive (nice and close, about 20 minutes), and all they have on display is the Glo (and an Arc, I think). I ask the associate "Do you have the latest model Kobo's", she says "those are the latest models".
