As I said above, the new Aura is the least rootable of the Kobo devices because it doesn't have the internal SD card.
Just to clarify:

You're saying that the device which is more difficult to root is the Aura and not the Aura HD.

This is worth pointing out because Rizla's comments were about the Aura HD specifically even though the thread is about the Glo and the Aura. I wouldn't want people to buy/avoid the wrong e-reader if ease of rooting is a deal-making feature for them.
